The peaceful, bucolic campus is set in the heart of horse country. In addition to its Lodges and barns also include staff homes, an art barn and woodshop, and 4-acre lake, and acres of gardens and greenhouses.

Asheville Community Program
The Asheville Community Program is our transitional living program set in 4 or 5 bedroom staffed homes. When residents complete one of our two residential programs, they most often come to our transitional living program in Asheville. Clients continue to build their life and social skills, pursue new educational and vocational opportunities, to achieve the goal of independence. The program provides two levels of care: Level B, where residents living in a house with supportive live-in staff, and Level C, where residents live in their own housing with access to CooperRiis clinical and other supports.
