The Addison Of Knightdale, formerly called Carillon Assisted Living of Knightdale, sits at 2408 Hodge Road in a quiet area near parks, pharmacies like CVS, and health services such as WakeMed and Garner Internal Medicine, while restaurants and cafes like Starbucks and McDonald's are just a few miles away for those who enjoy a treat. This is a pet-friendly, smoke-free community with individually controlled heating and air in the apartments, which are bright and spacious with windows for natural light, and residents can choose from a variety of suite options including private rooms, studios, and semi-private rooms, each with features like cable TV, kitchenettes, and large bathrooms for comfort. The building holds 96 licensed assisted living beds and a secure 26-bed memory care unit that uses keypad protection and offers specialized care for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, led by a Certified Dementia Practitioner and a team that includes an RN Health and Wellness Director, medication technicians, CNAs, dining and maintenance staff, and a certified Executive Director, with ongoing monthly training for all.
Personalized care plans get developed through detailed assessments and are reviewed after any incident or at least every ninety days, making sure each resident gets the care they need, whether that's assisted living-helping with daily tasks and medication reminders-memory care, independent living, short-term respite stays for at least thirty days at about $200 per day, or support for aging in place, which means residents can stay in their apartments longer with help from home health, therapy, hospice, or palliative care, especially in specific apartment types. Staff assist with exercise programs, medical schedules, and residents to meals, events, or medical appointments; residents get transportation services for shopping or appointments as well. Housekeeping, laundry, linen service, and building and grounds maintenance are included, with concierge services and plenty of storage.
Dining is restaurant-style with meals cooked by the chef and planned by a nutritionist; there's a choice between specials or always-available alternatives, and residents can request menu changes during the monthly food council meeting. The dining options include a main dining room, private dining areas, a salon and barber shop, and lounges, plus outdoor patios, balconies, a shaded courtyard with walking paths, and a gardening area. There's free Wi-Fi everywhere in the building.
Community life tends to be lively, with a schedule full of activities like ice cream socials, music and art therapy, gardening, tea and coffee hours, balance and coordination classes, and outings to local spots, plus small group programs for memory care residents who need more routine. There are shared spaces for games, cards, billiards, TV, reading in the library, a craft room, a rehabilitation gym, safe recreational areas, and group lounges where residents can personalize their time with others or relax.
Falls River Court Memory Care Community and Falls River Village Assisted Living Community offer added choices for specialized support, and the community takes steps to protect health with seasonal Covid and flu clinics on site. Short-term and respite stays are available, along with transition support services from counselors who can help with Medicaid and VA Aid and Attendance benefits, long term care insurance, guidance for downsizing, or connecting with hospitals and rehabilitation, so families have help through the decision process. There are safety measures built into each apartment, with security for the memory care neighborhood.
Residents get to enjoy pet companionship, attend enriching programs, and feel a sense of belonging with caregivers and families involved. The Addison Of Knightdale follows core values of Hospitality, Excellence, Appreciation, Respect, and Teamwork in daily life, and aims to provide a place where every resident can age well, in a nurturing setting that balances independence with support. Office hours run Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5 PM, so anyone interested can come for a visit and see what daily life feels like in this community.
