Designed to foster independence while ensuring personalized care, the community provides both assisted living and memory care options on a single campus.

The philosophy at Brookdale Wake Forest centers on improving residents' health through innovative services and programs. Through the Brookdale HealthPlus program, residents receive comprehensive clinical care coordination and oversight by dedicated RN Care Managers. This includes proactive management of chronic conditions, assistance with scheduling appointments, facilitating provider visits directly to the community, and managing communication with healthcare providers. The integration of technology allows staff to monitor changes in residents’ conditions more efficiently, especially in areas such as dietary needs and overall physical wellbeing. Preventive services such as onsite routine screenings, vaccination clinics, and wellness visits are also offered, alleviating the need for residents to visit clinics or wait in doctors' offices.

This service, as well as the option to choose between recurring or one-time orders, ensures comfort and convenience in daily living.
