About Brookdale North Raleigh

At Brookdale North Raleigh, residents can explore new passions, rekindle their favorite hobbies, and customize their golden years. As a lively and all-inclusive independent living community, Brookdale North Raleigh makes sure it’s all about your lifestyle and preferences. Say goodbye to the tedious chores and burdens of home ownership and say hello to accommodating amenities, homemade meals, and assistance with tasks like transportation, lawn maintenance, and more. For your safety, staff are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency, and a security alert system is also in use. Thanks to Brookdale North Raleigh’s central location, residents also have direct access to many of Raleigh's best and brightest attractions, including premiere art galleries, and popular museums like the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. The nearby dining scene is also noteworthy, however, residents can look forward to Brookdale's homemade, nutritious meals served restaurant-style back at home. You’re more than welcome to invite your loved ones over to join you for a meal or an event. Reserve the community rental space to host a private gathering, or attend some of the exciting community events together. If needed, comfortable guest suites are available, as well. After a fun evening together, you can spend the morning unwinding in the colorful garden, strolling the walking paths, or relaxing by the cozy fireplace in the living room. Community Services and Amenities Each day, you'll have plenty of opportunities to volunteer for your favorite cause, join your neighbors for engaging games, discover new art techniques, or attend devotional services. This is just the beginning of making memories that’ll last a lifetime.

For additional convenience, concierge and postal services along with an on-site beauty and barber shop are available, too. Another perk this community offers is Brookdale's helpful delivery service — the Personal Solutions program. If driving to the store to grab toiletry items like mouthwash, hairspray, or toothpaste seems like a hassle, just submit a list of requested items to the staff and they'll deliver the products to your front door. Best of all, you won't pay extra for the delivery! Living Arrangements Choose just the right studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartment to fulfill your unique needs.
