The Hillsborough market specifically
Orange County's historic seat along I-40/I-85, offering a slower-paced, walkable downtown for aging residents with UNC Health Hillsborough Campus providing local emergency and outpatient care.
Hillsborough's senior population has access to UNC Health's Hillsborough Campus locally, but families needing assisted living or memory care most often end up touring in Durham or Chapel Hill.
What the contract does that the tour does not
The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable.
