Six Forks specifically
Residents of Six Forks 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.
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.
