Near the Raleigh’s thriving Five Points neighborhood, a momentous transformation is underway as Raleigh senior living facility undergoes a remarkable redevelopment. With a substantial investment of $385 million, PruittHealth is spearheading the revitalization of The Oaks at Whitaker Glen – Mayview. This facility, known for providing independent living and skilled nursing care, is strategically located on Whitaker Mill Road, just a stone’s throw from the popular High Park Bar and Grill.
Neil Pruitt, the CEO of PruittHealth, revealed that this vision had been nurtured for over a decade. However, it was the global pandemic that acted as a catalyst, propelling the company forward with this Raleigh senior living facility redevelopment. While the company anticipates breaking ground in the spring of 2024, the first phase will only commence when 75 percent of the units are reserved. The entire multi-phase development is expected to conclude in approximately two years.

The scope of this Raleigh senior living facility redevelopment project is nothing short of impressive. It encompasses the creation of a total of 340 units and beds, along with the comprehensive renovation of 93 existing units. In this ambitious endeavor, an additional 152 independent living units will be added, contributing to a grand total of 245. Additionally, the development includes 82 assisted living units and 106 beds in a state-of-the-art skilled nursing facility, with 24 of those beds dedicated to a specialized memory care unit.
First phase of Raleigh senior living facility redevelopment project
The first phase will bring forth 28 independent living units, offering a mix of one and two-bedroom options. Simultaneously, renovations for the existing units are currently underway, with completion on the horizon. Subsequent phases of the Raleigh senior living facility redevelopment will include the remaining 124 independent living units, as well as the assisted living facilities and the newly constructed skilled nursing facility. It’s worth noting that Mayview, the former skilled nursing facility, was vacated during the pandemic.
The community’s appeal is not limited to the living spaces alone. A wide array of amenities will be available, such as billiards and card rooms, a theater, spine wellness services, a refreshing swimming pool, pickleball and bocce courts, a picturesque putting green, a cutting-edge golf simulator, and enchanting nature trails.
Adding to the allure, a range of retail services will be featured, including a fully-equipped pharmacy, a charming coffee shop with a bakery, a welcoming café offering delectable brick-oven pizzas, a vibrant sports bar, and an upscale fine dining establishment open to the public. These dining establishments will be operated by PruittHealth.
