Wilson Assisted Living sits in a quiet neighborhood near shopping in Wilson, North Carolina, and has offered care since 2006, running under Ms. Beth Burrell, Member Manager, and licensed by the North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services with the number HAL 098-027, so what happens here is all regular and certified and, being an LLC with an Adult Family Home business license, they follow the state's senior care rules, which means safety and oversight are a part of everyday life. The place fits up to 60 residents, age 55 and up, who might need assisted living, independent living, memory care, retirement living, or even a full continuing care retirement community, and being pet-friendly, folks can bring cats and dogs, which is nice for those who love animals. The main focus here is care for people who want to keep their independence but need help with things like bathing, dressing, moving around, medication checks, managing meals (especially for people with diabetes or high blood pressure), and just getting through the day with a little extra support. There are private or shared bedrooms, furnished suites, studios, and some with kitchenettes, and the bathrooms are private, so there's a good bit of privacy. Meals are served three times a day, all homemade, and there's restaurant-style dining, but if someone wants to eat in their own room, that's allowed too, plus special diets get attention, and meal service aims to be relaxing with both nutrition and choice in mind.
Wilson Assisted Living offers a mix of community activities to keep people busy, like day trips, resident-run groups, movie entertainment, exercise programs, creative plans, community night events, music and pet therapy, board games, and even services that help people get out to doctor appointments, errands, haircuts with a traveling barber or stylist, or devotional services offsite. There's physical support too, such as standby help for bed transfers and non-ambulatory care if folks need a hand moving around, alongside incontinence care where the resident is mostly responsible, so people have dignity and privacy. The facility includes indoor social spaces like a dining room, book room, game room, computer center, fitness room, recreation room, wellness center with a jacuzzi or sauna, and outdoor garden areas, providing both quiet time for reading or the computer and group space for games and friendship, while the staff-described as nice and attentive-uses walkie talkies across the building to stay in touch and respond quickly to emergencies, which they're on hand for 24 hours a day. For health needs, they have 12-16 hour nursing support and healthcare staff who can help with mild wound care, medical checkups, blood sugar monitoring (though they don't give insulin), medication management, and they're trained for two-person transfers if needed.
Community management handles daily operations, maintains nursing oversight, and tailors plans to each resident. The housekeeping and linen service are regular, so private areas stay clean, and there's on-site laundry to keep things simple. Amenities include telephone, cable TV, and Wi-Fi in rooms or common areas, community dining, and English language support. Residents can use transportation services for errands, shopping trips, or faith activities, with parking available for those who still drive.
The community welcomes seniors seeking a safe, kind, and home-like setting that values respect, independence, and personal attention, so even though not every amenity is fancy, there's genuine effort to make everyone comfortable and involved. Wilson Assisted Living offers different payment options, including private pay, long-term care insurance, or Veterans Aid and Attendance, with a starting rate near $3,000 a month for assisted living, though the rate changes depending on the support needed, room choice, and extra features. The facility isn't listed as BBB accredited, but it gets regular inspections and follows North Carolina's Department of Social Services standards, and any changes or updates show up as they keep building a larger online presence. The care offered is at a medium level, with all residents needing some help, and care types expand to those with Alzheimer's or memory challenges. Wilson Assisted Living creates a calming setting with activities, meals, and health plans aimed at improving each day, and while it may not have every luxury, it is for people wanting peace of mind and steady help in a community built for seniors to feel safe and valued.
