The Cypress of Raleigh operates as a continuing care retirement community, allowing residents to move among independent living, assisted living, and higher-level support as health needs change. This structure means couples and individuals can remain on the same campus even as care requirements differ, reducing the need for disruptive relocations.

Onsite clinical services include diabetes management overseen by trained staff and short-term respite stays for those recovering from illness or giving primary caregivers a break. An emergency call system links every residence to staff members who are prepared to respond around the clock, adding a layer of security for residents with chronic conditions or sudden health concerns.

Residences range from studio and efficiency layouts to larger floor plans. Select homes include wall-to-wall carpet, a gas fireplace, cable television, Wi-Fi, and utilities folded into the monthly fee. Weekly housekeeping is standard, and the campus offers landscaped grounds, outdoor walking paths, courtyards, and garden areas for those who enjoy fresh air. Because floor plans vary, not every unit includes every listed feature, so touring specific apartments is recommended.

Three daily meals are prepared and served restaurant-style, with menus that can accommodate physician-ordered diets such as carbohydrate-controlled options for residents managing diabetes. Snacks and beverages are available throughout the day, and staff monitor nutritional intake for anyone who requires additional oversight.

Residents have access to an activity center that hosts arts and crafts workshops, club meetings, and wellness classes. Planned social outings connect the community with Raleigh’s cultural events, while a library and computer lounge provide quiet study areas and internet access. Health and wellness programs round out the schedule, supporting both physical fitness and lifelong learning.
