Solera Senior Living, a Denver-based operator, developer and investor of next generation senior living communities across the U.S., announced that it has been named the operator of The Willows at Raleigh, an independent living community in Raleigh, N.C., recently acquired by Focus Healthcare Properties.
The Willows, located at 2722 Spring Forest Road, offers 143 independent living residences, with residents choosing between spacious studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. The modern, tastefully designed residences feature vaulted ceilings, full kitchens or kitchenettes, patios and balconies on select apartments, washers and dryers, private mailboxes, daily check-in system, complimentary wi-fi and bi-weekly housekeeping.
“It is our goal to operate communities that inspire a better quality of life for seniors, and The Willow’s favorable reputation and strong outcomes, combined with its highly experienced and stable leadership team, makes this a wonderful fit,” said Brittany Patrick, Director of Investments at Solera Senior Living.
The Willows’ vibrant residential setting is complemented by service-rich, hospitality-based support and a wealth of amenities including a movie theater, dining room, bar, outdoor courtyard, salon, fitness center, activity room, transportation services, covered parking, concierge services, medical services, home health services, 24-hour emergency monitoring and response, and guest suites.
Independent senior living at The Willows at Raleigh is an inspired, contemporary approach to healthy aging designed to maximize residents’ independence. Here, residents can use newfound freedom to make more friends, discover hidden talents, and fully embrace the benefits of lifelong wellness. A sampling of the community’s life enrichment programs includes continuing education, intergenerational programming, fitness classes, spiritual programming, guest lecture series, card games, live entertainment, outings to cultural events, art classes, cooking demos, and wine tastings.
The Willows is located in a charming residential area with easy access to big-city amenities. Residents are a quick trip to the best of Raleigh shopping and dining, as well as major attractions in the capital city. North Carolina State University, the NC State Fairgrounds, Millbrook, Wake Forest, and Falls Lake State Recreation Area are a short drive away. Duke Raleigh Hospital and Concentra Urgent Care are also nearby.
“As the new operator, we’re excited to take an already impressive community and further enhance it with our innovative approach that is designed to elevate the entire senior living experience – one that is synonymous with the Solera brand,” said Phil Lord, Vice President of Operations at Solera Senior Living.
