The Carrboro market specifically
A walkable, artsy college-adjacent town bordering Chapel Hill, giving seniors easy access to UNC Health while enjoying a smaller-town, pedestrian-friendly community feel.
Carrboro families typically rely on Chapel Hill's larger senior-care market next door, since Carrboro itself has limited licensed capacity of its own.
