The Kempton at Brightmore in Wilmington, NC is an assisted-living community designed for residents who need reliable help with everyday tasks but wish to maintain as much independence as possible. Professional caregivers are on site around the clock to assist with bathing, dressing, mobility, medication reminders, and other daily activities. The care team coordinates with each resident and their physician to create an individualized service plan that can be adjusted if needs change.
Beyond standard assisted-living services, the community can accommodate a range of medical requirements. Short-term respite stays are available for individuals recovering from surgery or giving family caregivers a break. Residents who live with diabetes have access to blood-glucose monitoring, medication management, and specialized meal planning. On-site staff can provide incontinence management, help with mobility for those who are ambulatory but need supervision, and coordinate hospice support when end-of-life care becomes necessary. These services are delivered within the community, reducing the need for outside appointments.
Housing options include a selection of private or companion suites. Apartments are equipped with safety features such as grab bars and emergency call systems, and certain units have direct access to the landscaped outdoor areas or nearby parking, though not every residence offers all of these features. Routine maintenance and weekly housekeeping are included to keep living spaces clean and functional.
Residents receive three daily meals prepared by culinary staff, with menus that accommodate physician-ordered diets and personal preferences. For those managing diabetes, carbohydrate-controlled options and sugar-free desserts are available. The dining room offers restaurant-style service, and snacks are on hand throughout the day.
An activity center serves as the hub for scheduled programs, while clubs and special-interest groups give residents regular opportunities to connect with peers who share similar hobbies. Together, these amenities support social engagement and help residents maintain an active daily routine without leaving the campus.
