Overview of Kempton of Jacksonville

Kempton of Jacksonville provides assisted living and memory care in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The community occupies an address on Henderson Drive Extension. Its Walk Score is 0, and the surrounding area is car-dependent, meaning most errands require a vehicle. Visitors and residents should expect to drive.

With 79 beds, this is a larger shared setting rather than a small residential home. Buildings at this scale generally include more common areas and run organized group programming. Residents share space with a substantial number of neighbors.

The care model spans two populations: general assisted living support covers residents who need help with daily tasks, whereas memory care serves those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants staff the community, and coverage continues 24 hours a day. Overnight availability of licensed staff is a meaningful distinction in this care category.

The community frames its approach around preserving individual choice and personal routine while maintaining attention to health and safety. That is standard positioning for assisted living, and it describes a tradeoff every family in this market is evaluating.

Assisted living here starts at $3,625 per month. What that base rate includes, and how it scales with care needs, will determine the actual monthly cost.

North Carolina’s Department of Health and Human Services carries out unannounced surveys of adult care homes. Inspection themes at this community involve medication management, fire-safety systems, and emergency preparedness.

Kempton of Jacksonville is a 79-bed community offering assisted living and memory care with continuous licensed staffing, at a published starting rate of $3,625 per month, in a location built around car access.
