Six named floor plans from 361 to 525 square feet, and a hand-held shower with a fold-down seat in every bathroom.

The Kempton at Brightmore of Wilmington is at 2298 S 41st Street in Wilmington, NC, on the Brightmore campus. The operator describes it as a place for residents who want help with daily tasks while keeping a great deal of independence, and frames the care as minimal support with daily activities rather than intensive medical attention.

Pricing at The Kempton at Brightmore of Wilmington

Liberty Senior Living, who manages The Kempton at Brightmore of Wilmington, states that pricing starts at $6,356 for its assisted living apartments. Read that figure carefully: the operator does not say anywhere on the community's own site whether it is a monthly figure or covers some other period, so no period is attached here either. Nothing on the site prices the individual floor plans separately, and no community fee is named. One request through Get Pricing gets you the period that figure covers, the rate for the apartment you'd actually take and what the care adds, which is three answers from one conversation.

Apartments at The Kempton at Brightmore of Wilmington

Six plans are named and every one carries its square footage, from the Hudson studio at 361 square feet through the Bradford large studio at 394 and one-bedrooms at 404, 483, 513 and 525. Each has a kitchenette with a mini-refrigerator and room for your microwave, individual heating and air conditioning controls, and a private bathroom with a hand-held shower and a fold-down seat. A built-in emergency call system runs in every apartment. The fold-down seat is the detail worth noticing: it is the difference between showering with help and showering alone.

Care and Support at The Kempton at Brightmore of Wilmington

The operator describes the care here as light assistance with the activities of daily living, set through an individual care plan, with 24-hour nurse and care staff, medication administration, and mobile resident call and location services so staff can find someone who has moved. If your own needs sit between managing alone and needing constant help, that is the level the operator describes here.

Dining and Daily Life at The Kempton at Brightmore of Wilmington

Three chef-prepared meals come daily, and the operator says that across all Brightmore of Wilmington residential levels licensed dietitians work with trained chefs on the menus. Kempton residents eat together from a varied menu with staff waiting on them. Beyond the table there is a library, an arts and crafts room, living rooms, a country kitchen, a private dining room, a salon and barber service, scheduled transportation, and a calendar running from live music to cooking demonstrations by the resident chef.

Living on the Brightmore Campus

The Kempton is one of three addresses on a single campus: independent living at Brightmore of Wilmington and assisted living with memory care at The Commons are the others. The operator states that priority access is granted to existing Brightmore residents across all levels of care. If memory care is a realistic prospect rather than a remote one, knowing the campus already holds it saves a second search later.
