Independence Village Of Olde Raleigh is a wonderful choice if you are looking for a community all your meals, housekeeping, transportation, utilities for one monthly rate. Activities and social events are great.

Management has a fundamental lack of respect for their residents. They began a year long exterior renovation with less than one weeks notice to the residents subjecting them to live in a noisy and filthy construction site for more than one year. They state that they are under a multi year multi phase expansion plan but they do not give any further info as to weather or not that means one year or ten years. If you do not mind on going construction in your golden years this might be a fit?

My brother seems to be adjusting fine at Independence Village Of Olde Raleigh. I don't have any complaints, and he doesn't seem to have any. He seems to be staying busy with the activities that they have. The physical appearance is nice. The carpet in the hallway needs to be replaced, but the lady said that they were working on that, and that that was next to be done. Other than that, that's the only thing that I saw that needed to be addressed. It's clean, too. They have exercise and physical therapy. They also have a bingo room, a room for other games, and a place for church services. I love every one of the staff there. They have been fabulous and most helpful. My brother loves the food, and he said it is the best food he has had. They have several activities that he is taking part in, and he loves the bingo, too.

My brother and sister-in-law moved into Independence Village of Olde Raleigh. Everything is fine except the food. That's what they're complaining about. The staff is great and very responsive. Every time I need to call about something, they've been there. The apartment layout is fine. The kitchenette could be a little bigger, but we knew that going in, so I'm not complaining about that at all.

The Gardens at Wakefield was probably a notch up from the other place we toured. I really didn't meet any staff other than the administrator, and she was very good. The apartment sizes were fine. The courtyard and the dining area were really nice. I don't remember enough about the activities, but I'm sure there were plenty. I didn't interact with any resident. I don't recall outside of a gathering area, which looked like a library. I didn't pay that much attention to the amenities. I was more interested in the apartment. I saw a one-bedroom, and it was very clean. It just seemed like a really nice place for people to investigate if they're going into independent living. The facility appeared to be well maintained.
