Overview of The Oaks of Alamance

Burlington’s Oaks of Alamance sits at 1670 Westbrook Avenue and offers both assisted living and memory care under one roof. The community holds 69 beds, with 43 currently occupied, putting occupancy at 62%. Walkability here scores 72 out of 100, high enough that most errands can be handled on foot and daily essentials sit within easy reach.

Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants staff the community around the clock, working at a ratio of one caregiver for every eight residents. Safety infrastructure runs through the building itself: 24/7 security, emergency call systems built into bedrooms and bathrooms, and in-house medical alert systems layered across resident living spaces. A structured wellness program gives residents a consistent activity to anchor their days, and a library rounds out the amenities on offer.

North Carolina’s Division of Health Service Regulation, part of the state’s Department of Health and Human Services, inspects the community as part of its oversight of senior care statewide. Across more than a decade of inspection history, recurring areas of regulatory focus have included medication management, fire-safety systems, staffing and staff credentials, environmental and hazardous-materials safety, care planning and documentation, and housekeeping and upkeep. These are important categories North Carolina regulators examine across assisted living communities generally.

What stands out about The Oaks of Alamance is the combination of continuous nursing coverage and a walkable setting, backed by emergency systems built directly into where residents sleep and bathe.
