Cambridge Hills Assisted Living sits in a quiet, wooded part of Pittsboro, North Carolina, where folks have been finding care and a home for more than 20 years. The place is family- and veteran-owned and is part of Silver Thread Communities, and people around here say the staff is caring, helpful, and always working hard to help residents feel at home, stay active, and enjoy their days. There are ninety beds in the main assisted living area, with a separate secured Memory Care wing for thirty-eight residents living with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, offering both private and semi-private rooms, all with their own ADA bathrooms and wheelchair accessible showers, so residents who have difficulty walking can still get around with ease. Rooms have windows that look out over the grounds, people can set their room just how they like it, and everyone has control over their own heating and cooling.
Staff is available around the clock, with a Health Care Director ready to answer questions, a nurse on staff, and a doctor available when needed. Cambridge Hills handles a range of care needs, from those who just want a little help with daily activities to seniors who need more support, including care for diabetic residents who take insulin, help with incontinence or reminders to use the restroom, and specialized memory care for those who may wander, act out, or need behavioral support, using technology like alarm bracelets to keep residents safe. There's an emergency call system at every bed and bathroom, grab bars in the hallways, and a secure environment so people know each other and stay safe, especially those at risk of elopement.
Meals are made on site by a Dietary Manager, served three times each day, and they'll accommodate special diets if someone needs that, with guest meals available too, so families can share a meal with their loved ones now and then. Residents get help with laundry every week, and there's a beauty and barber shop on site so they can keep up with grooming. As for keeping busy, a full-time activity director arranges events like scenic drives, visits to Wal-Mart or the Farmers Market, trips to the zoo, bingo, exercise, gardening club, art and cooking classes, wine tasting, and word games. There's space inside and outside for socializing, including an enclosed garden for folks in memory care, plus devotional services for those who want them.
This community accepts seniors age 65 and older, with respite care and short-term stay options, along with hospice care when it's needed. Staff is trained for assisted transfers, including both single and two-person transfers or even mechanical lifts. Cambridge Hills takes residents with varying needs, even those who have trouble with behavior or need a secure place to prevent wandering, and the whole place is wheelchair accessible with wide common areas and easy-access bathrooms. They're set up to support aging in place, so residents don't have to move if their needs change, and the community accepts long-term care insurance, some Medicaid, but not Medicare. Residents and families have said the community offers flexible, quality service, and the program is known for keeping people active with activities and social opportunities. Residents pay a one-time community fee, cover monthly rent for private or semi-private rooms, and may have extra fees for higher care needs or respite stays, with a prorated refund offered based on when a resident moves out, as long as the family gives a 14-day notice first. There are transportation options, including parking for residents and visitors, as well as rides to local doctors' offices and events, either complimentary or for a fee. Technology like cable TV and Wi-Fi is included in the rooms, and there are pet-focused programs and pet therapy for those who like animal company. The community takes pride in helping people feel safe, respected, and engaged, with steady support and care tailored to each individual.
