Bella Vista Gracious Retirement Living

Overview of Bella Vista Gracious Retirement Living

Bella Vista Gracious Retirement Living stands at 55 Piney Mountain Drive in Asheville, North Carolina, part of Hawthorn Senior Living’s portfolio of independent living communities. The mid-rise building does not participate in Medicare or Medicaid and is not licensed to provide medical care, assisted living, or skilled nursing services; it is designed exclusively for independent residents who do not require clinical support.

Housing consists of three apartment types: studios ranging from 365 to 604 square feet, one-bedroom units from 549 to 830 square feet, and two-bedroom apartments from 904 to 1,147 square feet. Every unit includes 24-hour emergency pull cords, fire suppression systems, and sprinklers. Pets are permitted in select units. On-site managers available around the clock respond to maintenance requests and resident concerns without providing personal care.

Daily operations center on meals and activity. Three chef-prepared meals are served each day alongside an all-day coffee and snack bar.

Housekeeping, linen service, and routine maintenance are handled by staff, while a transportation service provides access to local shopping, dining, medical appointments, and entertainment. Common spaces include a library, game room, theater, salon, chapel, and fitness facility. Residents participate in organized social events, recreational programming, exercise classes, and a travel program offering group outings and trips outside the community.

Asheville’s location 2 miles from the city center provides convenient access to hospitals, pharmacies, restaurants, and parks, though the surrounding area requires vehicular transportation for most errands. The community’s immediate walkability is minimal (Walk Score 13).

This community is well-suited for independent, active seniors prioritizing social engagement and recreational amenities within a residential apartment setting.
