Diane Haney's Company Details
Givens is a Christian, ecumenical, not-for-profit corporation committed to providing the full continuum of quality care and services to seniors within its communities and to provide outreach ministries in the larger community.OUR HISTORY:In November 1971, the dreams of local civic and church leaders, and developer Chet Prentice, became reality when Highland Farms Health Care Center, a 60-bed nursing facility, opened its doors in Black Mountain, North Carolina. Today, the evolution of this concept is a licensed CCRC on 50 acres that provides independent living accommodations and services in addition to a continuum of healthcare services for its nearly 400 residents. The decade of the 1990's saw the addition of a licensed Home Care Program, an aggressive renovation program, and the addition of four freestanding homes. In 2004, Highland Farms became fully licensed by the State of North Carolina as a continuing care retirement community (CCRC).As the three owners planned for retirement in 2011, they preferred to sell Highland Farms to a non-profit provider of senior services. Discussions began with Givens Estates, a retirement community established in Asheville in 1979. Givens Estates acquired the Highland Farms community on December 1, 2012.Now a part of the Givens organization, the traditions of service and care at Givens Highland Farms are enhanced by the sharing of resources and capabilities of both communities.OUR RESIDENTS AND STAFF:Service is a way of life for our 200+ staff. In addition to the concern and care they provide to all residents, they contribute time, talents and dollars to the community at large. Longevity among staff is common; both 30 and 40-year awards have been presented at our annual recognition ceremony, in addition to lesser amounts. Staff and residents often describe their relationships as "family".
