I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of The Oaks at Whitaker Glen

Management has a fundamental lack of respect for their residents. They began a year long exterior renovation with less than one weeks notice to the residents subjecting them to live in a noisy and filthy construction site for more than one year. They state that they are under a multi year multi phase expansion plan but they do not give any further info as to weather or not that means one year or ten years. If you do not mind on going construction in your golden years this might be a fit?

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Independence Village Of Olde Raleigh

My brother seems to be adjusting fine at Independence Village Of Olde Raleigh. I don't have any complaints, and he doesn't seem to have any. He seems to be staying busy with the activities that they have. The physical appearance is nice. The carpet in the hallway needs to be replaced, but the lady said that they were working on that, and that that was next to be done. Other than that, that's the only thing that I saw that needed to be addressed. It's clean, too. They have exercise and physical therapy. They also have a bingo room, a room for other games, and a place for church services. I love every one of the staff there. They have been fabulous and most helpful. My brother loves the food, and he said it is the best food he has had. They have several activities that he is taking part in, and he loves the bingo, too.

My brother and sister-in-law moved into Independence Village of Olde Raleigh. Everything is fine except the food. That's what they're complaining about. The staff is great and very responsive. Every time I need to call about something, they've been there. The apartment layout is fine. The kitchenette could be a little bigger, but we knew that going in, so I'm not complaining about that at all.

I visited this facilityReview of Holiday Gardens at Wakefield

The Gardens at Wakefield was probably a notch up from the other place we toured. I really didn't meet any staff other than the administrator, and she was very good. The apartment sizes were fine. The courtyard and the dining area were really nice. I don't remember enough about the activities, but I'm sure there were plenty. I didn't interact with any resident. I don't recall outside of a gathering area, which looked like a library. I didn't pay that much attention to the amenities. I was more interested in the apartment. I saw a one-bedroom, and it was very clean. It just seemed like a really nice place for people to investigate if they're going into independent living. The facility appeared to be well maintained.

Located in the heart of beautiful Bond park, this 17,000 square foot facility is specifically for educational courses, daily senior recreation classes, and senior group meetings for residents in the surrounding areas. Fairs, luncheons, and even computer instruction courses are offered through the Cary senior center to provide socialization and fun to older adults in the greater Raleigh area.

Medical Facilities

Duke University Medical Center is located in nearby Durham and is not only noted as the best hospital in the entire state of North Carolina, but 8th best geriatric hospital in the country out of 4,793 contenders by US News and World Report . Within the city of Raleigh itself, Rex Healthcare is also noted as high performing in geriatrics by USN, and is distinguished as a Magnet Hospital by the ANCC as well.

Seniors who elect to live in Raleigh independent living communities without a car are served mainly by Capital Area Transit “CAT” public buses, which offer discounted fares to seniors and handicapped riders. The city routes across all major areas in the city, and an additional as-needed service known as ACT, or Accessible Capital Transportation, assists handicapped passengers who live within 3/4s of a mile from a stop but cannot travel to the stop on their own. North Carolina’s capital city offers moderate weather, an exciting roster of senior activities through the Cary center, a robust public bus system and unparalleled cultural outings to those considering Raleigh independent living. With the senior population of the entire state on the rise and in Raleigh in particular, there’s never been a better time to discover why so many retirees are clamoring to call the “City of Oaks” their new home.
