The Cedars Of Chapel Hill

The Cedars of Chapel Hill sits in Meadowmont and offers different living choices like Villas, Verandas, and Cottage homes, so you can pick what fits best, and these homes come with craftsman-style touches and upgrades that make them a little bit special, and if you want, you can actually buy your place instead of renting, which means the entrance fee goes from the $400,000s up to about $1.5 million, and there's a monthly fee between about $3,880 and $8,018, and since it's ownership, there isn't a refund policy on moving out. Folks who live here need to be at least 62, though you can have a co-applicant who's at least 50. The Cedars is a Life Plan Community and a licensed Continuing Care Retirement Community, so people who move in can stay even as care needs change, with options like independent living, assisted living, memory care, home care, and skilled nursing services all on-site. The DuBose Health Center and Wellness Clinic give both nursing care and help for people needing more support, and Medicare certification means they take long-term care insurance, which can help with costs sometimes. There are lots of staff and visiting professionals providing support, from laundry and cleaning to concierge services, salon visits, and even on-site banking, so you don't always need to leave campus if you don't want to. Amenities here include fireplaces, arts and crafts rooms, gardening beds and greenhouses for folks who like to dig in the dirt, classrooms and lecture halls for talks and learning something new, gyms, pools, a golf course, walking trails, bocce ball courts, and private kitchens and dining rooms if you want your own space with friends or family. Organized activities include trips out, arts and crafts, fitness classes, and social gatherings to help people stay active. The Clubhouse serves as a full-service spot for gathering, dining, or relaxing, and on-site dining lets you have a meal without needing to go far. The best thing here might just be having all levels of care in one place, which lets you know help's available if you ever need more support down the line.
