The Village at Brookwood sits in Burlington, North Carolina, and offers many living choices for older adults, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehab, and even hospice services, all in one place. The campus stretches over 50 acres, with well-kept grounds, ponds, walking paths, a dog park, a putting green, and raised beds for gardeners, showing real care for the outdoors, and there's an attractive front entrance with nice landscaping, a covered entry, and an American flag. Some folks pick patio homes with two-car garages and yards, while others choose to live in apartment buildings with balconies and large windows, and apartments and garden homes come in different floorplans for different needs. The whole place has an easy-going southern feeling and there's strong friendship among residents with backgrounds from all over.
Residents can swim in a heated saltwater pool with sloped entry and handrails, and the pool area gets lots of natural light from the windows and decorative beams overhead, plus there's a whirlpool, an exercise area, a pickleball court, and a wellness center with fitness equipment, a massage room, and a place for exercise classes or wellness programs. Inside, there's a game room offering billiards, foosball, and other games, which makes it easy for people to spend time together or stay active, and common spaces are designed so folks feel comfortable, with seating in the hallways, an elegant room with a grand piano, and a dining area with soft lighting, wall art, and comfortable seats. People can share meals at square tables in the main dining area, or try the Tavern, Edith Street Café, eat outdoors, or have a fine meal at Lakeside Dining, with meal plans that let residents pick what works for them.
Every resident has access to safety features like 24-hour security and controlled entry to buildings, and every living option includes an emergency response system, regular checks by staff, medication help, and 24/7 care from registered nurses if needed. The Village at Brookwood stands as a Life Plan Community, or CCRC, which means the campus has a full continuum of care, so people can stay in the same community even as their care needs change, and there's a minimum age of 62 for residents and 55 for co-applicants. It's a nonprofit part of the Well-Spring Group, with contracts that let people choose between bundled LifeCare services with guaranteed future healthcare, or paying for health services as needed.
Daily chores like housekeeping and yard work are taken care of, so folks don't have to worry about home maintenance, and there's transportation if someone needs a ride off campus. Residents join in enrichment activities, educational programs through Life@Elon at Elon University, campus sports, wellness plans made by the on-site Wellness Coordinator, gardening, hobby groups, and community events, and people often gain close friends through these activities. The campus is Medicare Certified, takes Long-Term Care Insurance, and offers programs like home health, adult daycare, and hospice for those who need more support. There are photo and video galleries, as well as virtual tours, for anyone wanting to see more of daily life there. The Village at Brookwood focuses on friendship, activity, safety, and comfort for adults aged 62 and older, all in a quiet and caring southern community.
