Hayes Barton Place

Hayes Barton Place sits inside Raleigh's beltline, close to the Five Points district where there's always something going on with shops, restaurants, and places to visit, so families can easily stop by and residents can get out for local outings to spots like the North Carolina Museum of Art, Pullen Park, Raleigh City Market, Village District, and William B. Umstead State Park. The community is a Life Plan Community, also called a Continuing Care Retirement Community, which means residents can live independently in condo-style homes, large flats, or townhomes, and then get support if health needs change, because Hayes Barton Place offers Assisted Living, Memory Support, Skilled Nursing, and Rehabilitation all within the same place. Residents can join in on different activities, like arts and crafts in the art room, reading in the library, watching movies in the theater, or playing pool in the billiards room. The 50,000-square-foot clubhouse has both fine and casual dining options, along with a saltwater pool and a state-of-the-art fitness center, which gives everyone a way to stay active, plus there are pickleball courts, outdoor walking paths, and a putting green for those who like to be outside. The apartments and townhomes come with high-end finishes, walk-in showers, and even washer and dryer right in the unit, so life feels pretty comfortable and modern while the community itself keeps a classic Georgian architectural style out of respect for the historic former Country Club Homes neighborhood that used to be there. People can expect services like salon and spa, restaurant-style dining, housekeeping, transportation to appointments or shopping, and a wellness center right on site. Hayes Barton Place lets pets come too, encourages resident parking, and organizes lots of social events, worship services, and educational programs to keep everyone engaged, catering to a whole person wellness approach. There's a courtyard and patio for quiet time, and the staff provides all care options, including adult day services, long-term care, Medicare-certified home health care, and even hospice care if needed, always working to keep residents comfortable and supported no matter what comes their way. The Bloomsbury at Hayes Barton Place residences are a part of this mix too, giving more options for where and how to live. The whole place aims to blend symmetry and sophistication, but at the end of the day, Hayes Barton Place tries to make a welcoming home for seniors who want a bit of elegance, balanced with all kinds of support for changing needs in a spot that's lively and close to everything in Raleigh.

Hayes Barton Place is managed by Liberty Senior Living.

Liberty Senior Living, founded in 1990 when the McNeill family purchased their first nursing home, has evolved into a prominent regional senior care operator managing over 29 communities across North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Louisiana, and Virginia. Under the leadership of President Will Purvis and backed by fourth-generation family ownership led by CEO John A. McNeill Jr., the company has experienced significant expansion, growing from two communities in 2010 to 21 campuses by 2025, with several additional projects under development. Headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina, Liberty represents over 150 years of healthcare heritage dating back to the McNeill brothers' 1875 pharmacy founding.

The company's signature INSPIRE wellness program reflects Liberty's comprehensive Mind and Body philosophy, emphasizing optimal health achievement across physical, nutritional, spiritual, social, and intellectual dimensions. Through a strategic partnership with NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) and AFAA (Athletics and Fitness Association of America), Liberty has positioned itself as a leader in the senior fitness industry, providing enhanced training opportunities and continuing education for staff. This wellness-focused approach extends throughout their continuum of care, which includes independent living, assisted living, memory support, skilled nursing, rehabilitation services, and Life Plan communities offering aging-in-place capabilities.

Liberty's care philosophy centers on person-centered care delivered through The Liberty Way, viewing themselves as an extended family who honors each individual's life experiences, choices, and routines. Their clinical teams develop individualized care plans utilizing an integrative communication system between Health Centers, rehabilitation departments, and on-site Medical Directors. The organization provides comprehensive rehabilitation services through in-house physical, speech, and occupational therapists, featuring enhanced therapies including diathermy, ultrasound for pain reduction, electrical stimulation, and Activities of Daily Living Suites for real-world skills practice.

Recent strategic initiatives demonstrate Liberty's commitment to innovation and growth, including the 2025 appointments of Robert Goyette as Chief Operations Officer and Max Newland as Chief Investment Officer to support expansion efforts. The company has invested heavily in acquisitions and renovations, including a million renovation of The Carlisle Palm Beach, while testing unique ownership models at new developments in Charleston, South Carolina. With Hayes Barton Place CCRC opening in Raleigh and additional projects planned, Liberty continues pursuing both acquisition and development strategies. The organization has earned national recognition for continuing care retirement community design and fitness/wellness operations, maintaining its founding values of quality, honesty, and integrity while adapting to evolving senior care market dynamics.
