The Knightdale market specifically
An eastern Wake County town along US-64 undergoing rapid residential growth, with seniors typically commuting into Raleigh for specialist and hospital care.
Knightdale residents most often end up touring Raleigh communities, since eastern Wake County's own senior housing stock is still catching up to its rapid population growth.
Before you sign anything
Get the all-in monthly cost in writing at your parent's current assessed care level, ask what triggers the next care level and what it costs, and ask for the rate increase history across the last three years. Communities that will not put these in writing are telling you something.
Ask what happens if private funds run out, and whether the community holds a Medicaid waiver provider agreement. A meaningful share of communities do not, which means a second move at the worst possible time.
