We believe in the dignity of the human person, recognizing that each person has physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs and rights that must be respected. This respect is reflected in the tireless efforts of this institution to serve and preserve life, and to prepare for its termination when death is inevitable through spiritual support, understanding, and empathy.
We believe individuals and institutions move forward only as they assume and accomplish new responsibilities in an orderly manner; and each member of the staff in this institution is dedicated to the promotion of health in all areas of human concern.

We believe that employment of personnel within Aston Park be based on qualifications and ability to function effectively, regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, sex. We believe that personnel be of good moral character and willing to uphold the ethical code of Aston Park.
We believe that educational programs are important to the maintenance and development of adequate staff through in-service meetings and training programs and that an effective system of quality control in each department is vital to the operation of Aston Park.
We therefore dedicate Aston Park and ourselves to these philosophies.
A little history about Aston Park HCC
Aston Park Health Care Center grew out of Aston Park Hospital. Aston Park Hospital was located on the northwest corner of Aston Street and South French Broad Street in Asheville, North Carolina. The Building is now occupied by Asheville Children's Medical Center. The Hospital was opened in 1927 as the "French Broad Hospital" and renamed in the 1940's to Aston Park Hospital. It had a grand sum of 45 beds in its heyday. Aston Street (formerly Willow Street) was renamed in the '40's for "Judge" (honorary) Edward J. Aston, an early Asheville insurance man who was a one-man chamber of commerce for Asheville (i.e. he was responsible for encouraging George W. Pack to move to Asheville). "Judge" Aston was twice Mayor of Asheville.
In 1967 there was a Tri-hospital Drive to raise money for Mission Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital and Aston Park Hospital. This drive was the culmination of a Buncombe County Planning Council, which recommended (among other things) that Aston Park build a 100-bed nursing home. In the '80's it became clear that the amount of money needed to insure accreditation of the Aston Park Hospital building was excessive and the acute care beds were given to Memorial Mission Hospital. Aston Park's share of the Tri-hospital Drive was used to build a 120 bed nursing facility, Aston Park Health Care Center.
Aston Park Health Care Center has since added 23 Adult Care Home beds and redistributed beds in specialized areas to provide for a 32-bed Alzheimer's unit, a 12-bed short-term rehab unit, an adult care home unit and the remaining nursing facility beds as long-term skilled care. The organization has maintained it's non-profit status and endeavor to service the needs of our senior community.
Services
Full Spectrum Care
Aston Park Health Care Center is fortunate to offer several levels of care on the same campus and within the same facility.
A physician must determine the level of care of each resident that is admitted to Aston Park Health Care Center. Upon admission, each resident will be assigned a specific bed and unit according to the needs of care specified by the physician.
Every effort will be made to facilitate moves within the facility with ease for each resident if their needs change and a level of care change is necessary. Staff rotates in the various units in order to become oriented to all the residents in the facility, but every attempt is made to keep consistency in staff on each unit, as we see the importance of developing a trust and friendship between residents and the employees who care for them.
