Memory Care & Assisted Living · Wake County, NC

Overview of Senior Fluent

Senior Fluent operates a 6-bed memory care and assisted living community at 3004 Bunnfield Drive in the Shepards Point neighborhood of Zebulon, Wake County, North Carolina. The single-story licensed facility houses residents in private and semi-private suites with 24-hour nursing services and maintains a 1:3 staff-to-resident ratio.

Daily meal service includes three fresh, home-cooked meals prepared to individual dietary preferences. Housekeeping, recreation, social activities, transportation coordination, visiting physician services, and on-site hairdressing support constitute the facility’s full service menu. An outdoor garden and programmed activities titled “Our Homes” serve the memory care population. Residents may access North Carolina Special Assistance and the Community Alternatives Program for eligible Medicaid coverage. Monthly pricing begins at $7,500.

Across four inspections over two years, the facility documented 2 deficiencies; a rate of 1 per year, 96% below North Carolina’s average of 23. Only one of the four inspections resulted in cited deficiencies.

The March 27, 2024 inspection identified fire safety issues: a missing fire-rated attic cover and insufficient egress from an enclosed outdoor area. Senior Fluent responded promptly by installing the required attic cover and adding a second emergency exit. Earlier inspection cycles generated no reportable findings. No complaints were investigated, no fines assessed, and no enforcement actions initiated.

The facility’s overall inspection deficiency rate of 25% represents a 65-percentage-point improvement above North Carolina’s 90% average.

Positioned 1.3 miles from downtown Zebulon in a car-dependent neighborhood (Walk Score 7), the community integrates security monitoring, wheelchair access, fire suppression systems, and emergency alert infrastructure throughout its physical plant.

Senior Fluent serves older adults with cognitive impairment, dementia, or Alzheimer’s disease requiring secured residential memory care with round-the-clock nursing, meal preparation, and structured activities in a small, specialized-care setting.
