Overview of Waltonwood Lake Boone

Memory care, assisted living, and independent living are the three levels Waltonwood Lake Boone offers in Raleigh, NC. Independent living is private living with the community’s services attached, and no daily care included. Assisted living adds help with dressing, bathing, and medication.
