Deerfield Episcopal Retirement Community Description
The Rt. Rev. George Henry, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina from 1948-1974, envisioned the creation of a caring community for seniors. His dream was realized in 1955 through a generous gift by Charles and Marjorie Timson, and the community was initially established in the Timsons’ eleven-room summer residence on 30 acres of farmland. Over a half-century later, Deerfield has grown into a prestigious, nationally-acclaimed life care community on 125 beautiful acres just south of the renowned Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
