Senior & Elder Care
The Triangle's senior resources include three long-established continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) — full life-care campuses spanning independent living through skilled nursing, not a single-level assisted-living facility — plus Duke Health's dedicated geriatric medicine practice.
Carol Woods Retirement Community
Carol Woods, in Chapel Hill, is a nonprofit continuing care retirement community founded in 1979 — among the first of its kind in the state — offering the full continuum from independent living through skilled nursing on one campus, with a resident-led governance culture that's part of its own identity.
Croasdaile Village
Croasdaile Village, in Durham, is a continuing care retirement community offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing on a single campus — full life-care continuity rather than a single level of senior housing.
Duke Geriatric Medicine
Duke Geriatric Medicine is a dedicated geriatric medicine specialty practice within Duke Health, with clinicians trained specifically in the medical complexity of older adults — a distinct specialty from a general primary-care practice that also happens to treat seniors.
Springmoor Life Care Retirement Community
Springmoor, in North Raleigh, is a life-care continuing care retirement community offering independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing on one campus, built around continuity of care as residents' needs change rather than a move to a new facility each time.
