The Cary market specifically
One of the wealthiest and fastest-growing Wake County towns, Cary has a large stock of 55+ active-adult communities and is served by WakeMed Cary Hospital and Duke Health outpatient facilities along the US-1/I-40 corridor.
Families in Cary often compare its communities against Raleigh's North Hills corridor a few miles east, since both cover a similar price tier and both are inside WakeMed and Duke Health's service areas.
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.
