About Givens Health Center

+
Nestled in the heart of South Asheville along Barrett Lane, Givens Health Center provides expert skilled nursing care within one of Western North Carolina's most vibrant and scenic communities. As a nonprofit corporation, Givens is guided by a mission of service over profit — a philosophy that shapes every aspect of resident care, from clinical excellence to the warmth families feel the moment they walk through the door. Givens Health Center sits just minutes from Mission Hospital, part of the HCA Healthcare network and Asheville's premier acute care facility, giving families confidence that advanced medical resources are close at hand. The community's South Asheville location places residents within easy reach of the Blue Ridge Parkway, whose scenic overlooks and gentle walking paths draw visitors from around the world and provide families a beautiful setting for weekend visits. The legendary Biltmore Estate — America's largest private home — lies virtually around the corner, as does the charming boutique shopping and dining of Biltmore Village, where families can enjoy a meal at local favorites before or after a visit. Asheville itself is widely celebrated as one of the Southeast's most livable cities for older adults. Its thriving arts scene, clean mountain air, and a strong culture of community make it a place where seniors genuinely flourish. Pack Square Park in downtown Asheville hosts festivals and outdoor events year-round, while the River Arts District offers galleries and cultural programming just a short drive away. For day-to-day conveniences, the Asheville Mall and the busy retail corridor along Tunnel Road are easily accessible. At Givens Health Center, skilled nursing services are delivered by trained clinical teams focused on rehabilitation, post-acute recovery, and long-term care. The nonprofit model means resources are reinvested directly into staffing, programming, and the resident experience. Families choosing Givens can trust that their loved one is receiving care rooted in genuine community commitment — not corporate margin targets — in a setting that reflects the best of what Asheville has to offer.
