Avendelle Assisted Living Southern Oaks is a small, cozy assisted living and memory care community tucked away in a quiet Fuquay-Varina neighborhood, set up in a single-family style home that makes things feel comfortable and familiar, and folks will find four private rooms and one semi-private room all with cable TV and heated floors, which makes the place warm underfoot in the winter and handy for folks who need an extra bit of comfort. Residents get three well-balanced meals and three snacks every day, and the kitchen can handle special diets, whether that's vegetarian or something to fit doctor's orders, and you can expect that all meals use quality ingredients with the right vitamins and minerals. There's a phone available for residents to use, and strong Wi-Fi throughout the house, so staying in touch with friends or watching a favorite show isn't hard. Rooms and clothes get cleaned regularly thanks to housekeeping and laundry services, so that's something families don't have to worry about.
The home stays secure with fire sprinkler systems, fire alarms, and exit door alarms, offering a sense of safety for folks living with memory concerns, plus there are secure outdoor spaces with a big fenced backyard and a screened patio where residents can get some fresh air without concern for wandering. There are both private and semi-private bedrooms, and the kitchen is set up to be wheelchair friendly. Medical care is available on site with regular visits from Doctors Making Housecalls, and medication gets managed by staff, making sure everyone sticks to their prescribed routines. Caregivers help residents with bathing, dressing, and other daily needs around the clock, and there's always someone trained and familiar there, which means support is only a step away, and the staff-to-resident ratio stays low to give nearly one-on-one attention and help.
Life at Avendelle Southern Oaks includes a steady schedule of social, educational, and recreational activities, both indoors and out, to keep everyone engaged whether a group's working on crafts in the sunroom, attending an educational talk, or enjoying music, plus there are planned group activities, and even off-site trips when that's possible. Memory care is a focus here, especially for folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia, where routines and therapies are shaped to help reduce confusion, boost memory, and prevent wandering. A visiting hairdresser comes by for haircuts or styling, and there's always time to sit outside, chat, or join in on group games and hobbies that help residents stay social.
The house is designed to be accessible and comfortable, with wide hallways, an open floor plan, and features like concierge service if someone needs help arranging something, and there's transportation and parking for those who need to get to appointments or outings. The place has received recognition like Best of Senior Living and All Star Awards, which means families often say good things about the care and support here. Meals and daily routines are tailored for each resident's preferences, with plenty of focus on maintaining independence alongside the needed support. Care here is grounded in respect and dignity, and the staff tries to keep things feeling warm and familiar, helping even residents with high needs have safe, meaningful days in a family-like, home-style setting.
