New senior living & memory care facility coming to Raleigh near Crabtree mall

A new facility offering senior living and memory care is coming to Raleigh’s Crabtree mall area.

The community, Waltonwood Lead Mine , is scheduled to open in fall 2025 at 4510 Lead Mine Road . Of its 95 units, 65 are set aside for assisted living, and 30 are designated for memory care. Starting prices for the units have not yet been set, a public relations representative working with Waltonwood Senior Living told The News & Observer in an email.

The 5-acre site at Lead Mine Road and Glenwood Avenue was chosen to “provide convenient access” to nearby amenities and services, according to a press release.

However, the community will have several on-site amenities:

• Theater
• Salon and spa
• Fitness room
• Game room
• Large living and dining rooms

Residents in assisted living units will have a private courtyard, while the memory care residents can access a roof garden.

According to Waltonwood Lead Mine’s website, the community will also be pet friendly and feature transportation services and a secure entry system.

Cline Design, Lighthouse Engineering, Hauser-Creech Structural Engineers, Singh Development and Choate Construction are involved with the project.

This is the fifth Waltonwood Senior Living community in North Carolina. The company has two existing facilities in Raleigh and Cary — Waltonwood Lake Boone and Waltonwood Cary Parkway, respectively — and two in Charlotte.

Outside of North Carolina, Waltonwood operates a facility in Virginia, with another on the way, and seven in Michigan.

All facilities are owned and operated by Singh, family-owned company headquartered in Michigan.
