The Cary market specifically
One of the wealthiest and fastest-growing Wake County towns, Cary has a large stock of 55+ active-adult communities and is served by WakeMed Cary Hospital and Duke Health outpatient facilities along the US-1/I-40 corridor.
Families in Cary often compare its communities against Raleigh's North Hills corridor a few miles east, since both cover a similar price tier and both are inside WakeMed and Duke Health's service areas.
Who is actually on shift
Ask how many caregivers and med aides are on the floor at 3 a.m., not the building-wide daytime ratio. Ask what happens when someone calls in sick, and whether the community uses agency staff to fill gaps.
Ask how long the administrator has been in post. Turnover at the top is one of the better predictors of turnover below it.
