The Dunn market specifically
Harnett County's largest town, home to Cape Fear Valley Betsy Johnson Hospital and a concentration of the county's skilled nursing and assisted living facilities along the I-95/US-421 corridor.
Dunn concentrates most of Harnett County's skilled nursing and assisted living capacity, and families from smaller surrounding towns like Erwin, Coats and Angier often end up touring here.
Visit twice, at different hours
A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.
Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.
