Waltonwood Lake Boone

Waltonwood is the best of retirement living in a great location with a staff always at the ready to improve. The staff provides an open organic dialogue with the guest to improve the living experience.

Both of my parents have been at Lake Boone for 22 months. Unfortunately, my father passed away in April of this year. My mother is still in independent living at quite happy. The staff does an amazing job with working and helping the residents. My brother and I both live out of state and quite happy they decided to move to Lake Boone where they are watched and taken care of by the staff. I would recommend Lake Boone to others looking for a place to live for their later years in life.

I am very happy at Waltonwood Lake Boone - come Octobder I will have been here 6 years. I love the activities, the movies every weekend and some during the week. We play lots of games, bridge, have a Ladies Tea on Saturday and many meetings for the men. The food is outstanding in the Dining Room, we eat on white tableclothes with linen napkins. We have Happy Hour every Wednesday and can take our wine to our table every night. It's a very friendly place and very much is HOME to me. I can have my children eat in the Dining Room or we have a private Dining Room where we can eat on Special Occasions. I love having lunch on my balcony over- looking our Courtyard - it is beautiful out there. We have housekeeping every other week. And we have a full-time Gym Teacher whom we all love and appreciate. There is a Concierge on duty 24 hours a day to assist us with whatever we might need after hours. This is HOME and I am pleased to be here.

I am writing on behalf of my Mother who moved into the Lake Boone Waltonwood (Independent Living) community three months ago. After a lengthy search, touring 12 facilities in the Raleigh area, we settled on Waltonwood-Lake Boone. My Mother could not be happier with her choice. She moved from an IL community in Florida and did not know anyone when she moved in. Since that time, she has made friends and has been welcomed by friendly, caring residents. The ambassador program was an especially nice feature as it created opportunities for my Mother to meet other residents and navigate her new community. My Mother has always been an excellent cook and enjoys high quality food. She has been very pleased with the meals. She has also enjoyed card games, book club, fitness classes, outings, movies, and many other social events. I could not be happier than to have my Mother at Waltonwood!

It's been a little over a year since my wife and I moved my 94 year old mother to Waltonwood , We moved to Raleigh from Chicago and combined our move with moving my mother to Raleigh to be close to us. We looked at 5 different lndependent living facilites, having some experience with independent living facilities in Chicago , zeroed in on Waltonwood for the following reasons, the location was within 15 minutes to our new home and approximately 1 1/2 miles to Rex medical center, which was a godsend since Mom needed medical services nine months after moving in. The building is fairly new & well maintained, with continuous cleaning on a daily basis, the facility has an area for outside P.T. and a physical activity gym with classes to keep residents moving. My mother enjoys the arts and crafts class as well as the garden area... while the rent is more than other places we looked at, the attention and friendliness of staff made the move a success with no regrets. Thanks Waltwood !!!!

I have been a resident here for several years and enjoy it very much. Moving here was a good decision for me. The staff and residents are very friendly, and I enjoy interacting with them on a daily basis. The location is very good for shopping and eating out, as well as convenient for other social activities. The location is very close to Rex Hospital as well as an assortment of other medical offices. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of taking care of things on their own, cooking, home maintenance, and who just want to sit back and enjoy their time among friends.

I am enjoying WaltonWood Lake Boone Independent Living and knowing when and if necessary I can move into Assisted Living and Nursing Care. The grounds and buildings are beautiful. The staff has our best interest at heart and the residents are a fabulous group of interesting, independent people. The cleaning and maintenance crews keep the place spick and span. Transportation is provided for doctor visits and for shopping. We have a choice of our own doctors or using the medical help offered on site. The many interesting and fun activities shared together for bodies and minds help to keep us up and moving. The buffet breakfast and delicious choices for dinner are served in the lovely formal dining room. I think it is a great place for retires and the location is ideal.

Waltonwood is a nice place. My parents feel safe. The staff is alert and attentive to their needs. The staff is also very kind. The management works hard to communicate with the residents. There are many interesting activities scheduled. The management takes an active roll in offering different activities that respond to the residents interests.

Living quarters are spacious and quiet on all floors. Staff is works hard and is appreciated by all residents. Staff provides activities, food, exercise classes, day trips to shopping, etc. Many other amenities and services make Waltonwood a good home for many individuals and couples. Residents here in independent living side are very friendly and there's lots of groups that meet for meals and activities, fun, and just to have a great time together.

The facility is a great place for residents who want a warm, friendly environment that offers quality amenities and opportunities for interaction with other residents if so desired. The staff are caring and professional. There are many and varied food choices. The independent living facility manager is the best I have ever encountered. He is easily accessible, open to feedback and always responsive when we have a question or need. He is calm, kind and always professional to the residents, staff and visitors. He goes out of his way to assist residents with any concern or request. He is an excellent communicator and seems particularly skilled interacting with seniors.

My mother is happy at WW. My mother had been adamant for years that she never wanted to go into “one of those places”. She lived alone very happily in her own home. After a health incident she began to be uneasy about being alone at night and consented for me to investigate the possibilities. When my husband and I toured Waltonwood at Lake Boone, which is so near our home and near my mother’s longtime Raleigh home, we felt very very good. My mother later agreed to a tour and was greeted by a lovely kind resident who acted as host for the tour. My mother immediately signed a commitment. The facility is lovely. It is very finely decorated, well maintained, has a fantastic and thoughtful layout with tall ceilings throughout including 10 foot ceilings in the apartments and beautiful common rooms each with a fireplace that is always on. She tells me often that the food is good. The staff has been friendly, thoughtful and patient. We’re four months in and very happy

This facility is very nice !!! I love my apartment!! When my wife was here with me we had a two-bedroom appt. that we loved. I had to move her to a different facility which was the hardest thing I have ever done. I enjoy the staff here, all are very helpful and very nice to talk to. They take time to answer all and all questions. I have found that if they did not know the answer they would research it and get back to me with an answer. The food here is getting better and better. some time ago the food was not very good, but with new chefs and I guess better cooks,, most of the time it is quite good. This does not =mean it is as good as my wife's cooking by any means but for a facility food it is very acceptable.

It has been a real joy to be a resident of Waltonwood. We are one big family. There are so many social activities and events that each day is exciting. I do recommend living at Waltonwood to anyone interested in living independently

My mom looked at several independent facilities to live She loved this one .She very much loves it here. A lot of activities to do .All the staff is very friendly.She made a good choice coming here to live. Anyone looking for a independent facility they should definitely come and check it out.

My father passed away unexpectedly in 2021 and mom needed to find a senior independent living community that would accomodate her visual and audible impairments. Waltonwood Lake Boone provided the perfect setting for mom to thrive by providing a large apartment with a patio overlooking the courtlyard on a floor with easy access to the dining facility. The large apartment size enabled her to create a comfortable living space using many of her home furnishes. Adjusting to a new reality was made easier by the very helpful staff and wonderful group of volunteer residents. Waltonwood Lake Boone is located minutes away from Rex hospital and a vast network of medical support facilities. They provide in-house physical therapy as well as many life enrichment programs. For my mom Waltonwood Lake Boone was the right place at the right time.

My wife and I looked for a place to move to in a couple of years.but due to a fast deteriorating health we needed I place now. We picked this place over all we checked out for a number of reasons. 1. Location. It is central, near our hospital and in an area we are familiar with. 2. People we respect including a past preacher were staying here. 3 size. It is small enough that you can interact with almost all residents. 4 . The staff seemed better than some other places.. We feel we made the right choice.

About 18 months ago, I could not be convinced that I would be happy living in a "hotel " for more than a week. Actually, this new lifestyle far exceeded my expectations. I have lived at WALTONWOOD senior living independent community for 1 year. Nothing has surpassed my expectations more than what I have found here. The community is warm, inviting and friendly. The activities are designed to meet the interests of most residents. T ainment, are frequent, affordable and are selected with staff input for variety. The entire staff here works together to make us feel safe, secure and loved in a quiet home felt environment. I am at home and I am proud to share home with my family and friends.

Our father is an active and independent 101 year old who is currently residing at Waltonwood in Raleigh, NC. Following a couple of unsuccessful six-month residencies at other senior homes we were ecstatic to find Waltonwood which has truly proven to be an oasis. From the welcoming leasing department, the ever helpful-24/7 concierge desk, accommodating dining room and cleaning personnel to the caring life enrichment and kind management staff, Waltonwood has been an answer to our prayers. The building is stunning, and beautifully maintained, the meals are diverse and delicious and the programming very inclusive. We highly recommend Waltonwood.

My father was living at home with me. He was doing okay, but had no social life whatsoever. He is mobile to a degree but limited due to his hearing challenges and the fact that he is in his nineties. From the very first time that I toured Waltonwood, chose Waltonwood as a good fit for my father, moved him in, and every moment since, I have been reminded that Waltonwood is simply ideal. There is an aura of peace and love in every aspect of this facility. I am daily impressed by the kindness and caring of the amazing staff. They are all truly saints. Every staff member I have ever met has been upbeat,, enthusiastic about working here and so very attentive. Every detail is addressed immediately and with care and respect. The building is spotlessly clean and bright, modern and welcoming. My father’s apartment is ideal for him. Spacious and comfortable and home. He is beginning to socialize with the other residents and to make friends. Waltonwood has been a godsend.

I would recommend to other families. It was a really wonderful experience. We were both in the independent and assisted living communities and my mom loved her time there. We picked this community, because of the gorgeous rooms and facilities, and the location.
