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.
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.
