In-home care covers two different things that families often conflate. Non-medical home care is help with daily activities, companionship and household tasks. Home health is clinical care ordered by a physician and delivered by licensed staff.

The Durham market specifically
Home to Duke University Hospital, Duke Regional Hospital, and the Duke Health system's flagship geriatrics and memory-care programs, making Durham one of the strongest medical hubs in the Triangle for senior care.
Durham families benefit from Duke Health's geriatrics and memory-care specialty programs being headquartered locally, which shapes both the medical referral pattern and the concentration of CCRCs in the city.
The question about money nobody asks early enough
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 participate at all, which converts a funding problem into a forced move at the worst possible moment.
