HomeNeighborhoodsWakefield

A master-planned community in far northeast Raleigh with age-targeted sections and country-club amenities, roughly 20 minutes from North Faculty Physicians and Wake Forest medical offices.

Short answer

Wakefield is a neighborhood in Raleigh. Senior care serving it is licensed the same way as the rest of the city -- as an adult care home by North Carolina's Division of Health Service Regulation.

How families in Wakefield usually search

Neighborhood matters less than families expect, and more than communities admit. The practical test is not the map. It is whether the person who will visit most often will still be visiting in month eight.

What is specific to Wakefield

Residents of Wakefield evaluating senior care most often start with providers elsewhere in Raleigh, since neighborhood-level licensed communities are uneven across the city -- some neighborhoods have several, others none.

Families in this far northeast Raleigh community typically look toward Wake Forest or North Raleigh's North Hills corridor for the nearest broader range of options.

Questions families ask

My mother lives in a nursing home in Franklin County -- which Ombudsman office should I contact?

Franklin County is not covered by the Central Pines Regional Council office that serves most of the Triangle. Instead, it falls under the Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments Ombudsman Program, reachable at 1-866-506-6223 (toll-free) or (252) 436-2050, with a mailing address of PO Box 709, Henderson, NC 27536.

Which counties does the Central Pines Regional Council Ombudsman office actually cover?

The Central Pines Regional Council (formerly Triangle J Council of Governments) Ombudsman office covers seven counties: Wake, Durham, Orange, Chatham, Johnston, Lee, and Moore. Harnett County, though geographically near the Triangle, falls under the Mid-Carolina Council of Governments region (with Cumberland and Sampson counties) instead, and Franklin County falls under the Kerr-Tar region.

What other services does the Central Pines Regional Council Area Agency on Aging provide besides the Ombudsman Program?

Beyond the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, Central Pines Regional Council's Area Agency on Aging offers Information and Referral services to help families find aging-related resources, private-pay Options Counseling, and a Veteran-Directed Service Program pilot for eligible veterans who want more control over their home-based care services.
