Navion of Goldsboro is a senior living community for adults aged 55 and older, and the building sits on one floor, making it easier for folks who use wheelchairs or have trouble with stairs, and you'll find outdoor patios, porches, and a big courtyard with benches surrounded by gardens and walking paths. The apartments come in different sizes like studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and even three-bedroom options, some with private bathrooms, walk-in closets, and kitchenettes with microwaves and refrigerators, and every unit has its own emergency call system, individual climate controls, and Wi-Fi, with parking available on-site for residents who still drive. People get to keep their pets, though large dogs aren't listed, but taking care of the animal is up to the resident, and there are even some accommodations for visiting pets now and then.
Residents get daily help with things like bathing, dressing, grooming, oral hygiene, taking medicine, and handling incontinence, and people with memory loss or Alzheimer's can access a secure area with special care and tailored activities, and staff are around 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with a call system for emergencies, supervision for safety, and regular safety and wellness checks, which is good peace of mind for everyone. The place handles housekeeping, laundry, linens, groundskeeping, pest control, maintenance, and trash removal, so nobody has to be bothered too much about chores. Transportation to healthcare appointments and outings is free, and the transportation services will take folks to doctor's appointments, dentists, therapists, specialists, and optometrists, and there are plenty of trips into the community for social events, shopping, and eating out, which helps folks stay connected.
Residents can get haircuts and barber services in the on-site salon, where there are hair dryers, styling chairs, and some zebra-print chairs in the waiting area that a lot of people talk about, and there's a beauty parlor with everything you might need. Community dining happens in elegant rooms with gray tablecloths, chandeliers, and artwork, and the menu includes snacks, guest meals, and flexible food choices-residents even help with planning out what's served, and meals are made with attention to taste and health. For fun and social time, there's a lounge, sunroom, game room, library with regular and large-print books and audiobooks, fitness activities like chair workouts and yoga, arts and crafts, music, brain fitness, meditation, literary activities, tabletop games, resident volunteer programs, and outings to area attractions.
Apartments and common areas have safety features like controlled building access, an emergency response system, and apartments are wheelchair and handicap accessible, with transfer assistance as needed. Caregivers create personal care plans for everyone, reviewing and updating them as health or needs change, so the support matches up with each person's current situation, and that goes for folks who choose independent living, those who need more help, or anyone using the adult day care, home health care, or memory care programs. Residents can get occupational, physical, and rehab therapies on-site, and medical services include medication reminders and visits from podiatrists. Navion of Goldsboro holds church services, group and private spiritual activities, and celebrates holidays, along with all sorts of daily events and social gatherings, and the staff works closely with families and doctors-especially with UNC Health Wayne nearby-to coordinate health care when needed.
The building is licensed by the state of North Carolina (HAL-096-053) and supports both private pay and long-term care insurance, though Medicaid isn't accepted. Every day, the focus rests on keeping people feeling as independent as they can, with plenty of chances to make friends, join activities, stay healthy, and get help without giving up freedom, and the community sits close to local restaurants, banks, stores, and doctors for even more convenience, so it's about providing a practical and comfortable place for seniors, with a little bit of everything folks might want as they age, while the staff stays on hand to adjust to health changes along the way.
