Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. North Carolina licenses these communities as adult care homes under Chapter 131D, one license type statewide, with no acuity tiering.

North Hills specifically
Residents of North Hills evaluating senior care most often start with providers elsewhere in Raleigh, since neighborhood-level licensed communities are uneven across the city -- some neighborhoods have several, others none.
Before you sign anything
Get the all-in monthly cost in writing at your parent's current assessed care level, ask what triggers the next care level and what it costs, and ask for the rate increase history across the last three years. Communities that will not put these in writing are telling you something.
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, which means a second move at the worst possible time.
