The Cardinal at North Hills, an urban continuing care retirement community in Raleigh, N.C., recently announced the opening of its Healthcare Services Building which will cater to residents in need of assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing.

Both memory care and skilled nursing are set up in a household setting which promotes independence and dignity by providing shared common spaces both indoors and outside, similar to home. This means The Cardinal is now a true continuing care retirement community which can meet the changing healthcare needs of residents and offer higher levels of care if the need arises, and strives to offer all residents the same design and amenities, with a seamless transition between levels of care.
