Springmoor Life Care Retirement Community sits on 42 acres in Raleigh, North Carolina, with two campuses-North and South-and plenty of mature trees, gardens, and paved walking trails where folks can go for a walk or just sit and enjoy the view. The place has a range of residences, from simple apartments to single-family homes, some with nice touches like bay windows, fireplaces, built-ins, walk-in closets, patios, and garages. There are 19 different floor plans, all on one level, and every home comes with full kitchens, laundry, emergency call systems, and all utilities included.
The community looks after a lot of needs. There's independent living for people who are active and healthy, plus assisted living, memory care for people with dementia, nursing and rehab, and even home health care if someone wants to age in place with help. The Stewart Health Center takes care of folks needing more support, covering assisted living, rehabilitation and nursing, and memory support care. The Supportive Living Center helps with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, and dedicated care teams handle different types of senior care.
Springmoor is the first Life Plan Community in Raleigh, set up as a not-for-profit with a modified contract offering a range of refund options, which makes it financially stable, and nationally accredited. The main building has a cozy lobby that looks a bit like a carriage house, and there's a bistro, auditorium, private chapel, community library, guest suites, and a movie theatre on site. Social and recreational activities fill the calendar, and the Pathways Wellness Center has an indoor pool, fitness facilities, and a spa. Folks can take art classes in a dedicated studio, play billiards, enjoy the putting green or croquet, or attend wellness programs covering physical, intellectual, cultural, and spiritual interests.
Springmoor keeps things running smoothly with services like housekeeping, laundry, groundskeeping, and scheduled transportation. Dining rooms serve restaurant-quality meals, and people can also eat at the bistro. There's always something going on, from cards and games to crafts and social outings, and the community supports both privacy and chances to mix with others. There's a bank, pharmacy, barber shop, and beauty salon right there for convenience.
Health support's a big focus, with on-site doctors, dental care, physical therapy, and full access to health services without needing Medicare or insurance. Residents get free health care for 30 days-up to 90 days-during an initial period, and there's help for family caregiving, long-term care planning, and insurance questions. Staff get mentioned often for being kind and helpful, which makes the place easier to settle into. Security runs 24 hours a day, and resident-run committees help keep everyone's needs and feedback front and center.
Springmoor's a quiet place that values peace, with landscaped gardens, brick exteriors, and outdoor areas like barbeque spots and gazebos where folks can visit with family or friends. The South Village auditorium brings in entertainment, and there's a fitness center, walking paths, and physical fitness programs for folks who want to stay active. Activities and amenities aim to keep everyone's bodies and minds working, and focus on good, nutritious food and friendly company. The place gets positive reviews in the Raleigh area, has won awards like Best of Senior Living, and has a community folks have described as feeling "like a big family."
