A skilled nursing facility provides 24-hour licensed nursing, regulated in North Carolina under a separate licensure framework from adult care homes (assisted living), through DHSR's Nursing Home Licensure and Certification Section. Two different populations often live under the same roof: short-term rehab patients and long-term residents.

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.
The question about money nobody asks early enough
Ask what happens if private funds run out, and whether the community holds a Medicaid waiver provider agreement. A meaningful share of communities do not participate at all, which converts a funding problem into a forced move at the worst possible moment.
