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 Garner market specifically
A working-class Raleigh suburb along US-70/I-40 with more affordable senior housing options and proximity to WakeMed's main Raleigh campus for hospital-level care.
Garner's senior housing stock runs more affordable than North Raleigh or Cary, and residents often weigh a slightly longer drive to WakeMed's main Raleigh campus against lower monthly costs.
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.
