Carol Woods

Carol Woods sits on a pleasant campus at 750 Weaver Dairy Road in Chapel Hill, where folks who are at least 65, or 55 for a co-applicant, can find different kinds of care in one spot. The place has apartments and rooms for independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, and right now there are 30 skilled nursing beds. Meals get served right in the community dining room, with choices like all-day dining and meals for special diets, including allergies and diabetes; you can count on things like housekeeping, laundry, safety alerts, and help moving in, and the rooms come furnished if you want that. Gardens, walking paths, social lounges, movie nights, and resident-led activities give folks ways to keep busy, socialize, or take it easy, and the campus has transportation and parking as well as volunteer chances and community groups. They let you keep your long-term care insurance, and some health services run at a discount; Medicare Certification is also in place. The entrance fee falls somewhere between $106,000 and $545,500, and the monthly fee goes from $2,680 up to $6,191. If you need to leave, you get a full refund in the first 90 days, then about 2% less every month after that. The staff and care teams provide help to match your needs, whether that's skilled nursing, assisted living, or continuing care through their Continuing Care Retirement Community program, and the place has a solid 40-year history. Carol Woods takes part in a five-year accreditation cycle, and they do field reviews for health and human services, offering more than just basic standards. Jessica C. Fines-Crawford leads as administrator. The community tries to support purpose and satisfaction in daily life, with many ways to be social, active, and engaged, for residents coming from all kinds of backgrounds. The grounds and common areas encourage outdoor time, group gatherings, and personal space, with services and amenities designed to make life easier and give structure to the day.
