This is part two of my series of posts about The Cardinal at North Hills. I visited the sales office and model on Thursday, May 16, and you can see some facts and my thoughts about the model here:

In this post I’ll discuss a few things that make The Cardinal stand out from other retirement communities. The sales staff was very helpful in giving me this information and answering all the questions I had. If you’d like more information, give them a call at 919-781-2021, visit their website or stop by the sales office, which is across from the dry cleaners and Kerr Drug at North Hills and behind Bonefish Grill.
What sets The Cardinal at North Hills apart from other retirement communities?
Location
The North Hills/Midtown area is close to great shops, restaurants and entertainment options and is less than four miles from downtown Raleigh. Unlike many retirement communities, residents don’t have to take buses to find something to do. It’s easy for people to continue to participate in activities that make them happy. Since this area is in the center of Raleigh and close to the Beltline and I-40, it’s convenient for friends and family to drop by.
Multi-generational aspect
While many retirement communities are set apart and isolated, The Cardinal is situated in the heart of North Hills, which is an entertainment and shopping hub for people of all generations. Residents will probably feel like they’ve moved into a great condo with added benefits, instead of feeling out of touch with what’s going on.
Pedestrian-friendly urban design
There are only a few dozen continuing-care retirement communities that are in a mixed-use area like North Hills in the entire United States.
Emphasis on wellness and fitness
The Cardinal at North Hills encourages active living. North hills restaurants, shopping and other events in the area make it easy to continue to be active. Duke will bring their great reputation and Center for Living to The Cardinal, and the fitness gym/options will be second-to-none. In fact, Duke will provide their expertise in all medical areas and services for the Cardinal.
Variety of care options
Residents can choose from a variety of independent living options or assisted living, skilled-nursing and memory care. Unlike many other places, services can be customized and the level of care can be increased or decreased, depending on your needs.
That’s all for now. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
