If you’re over 60 and young at heart, we invite you to explore life at The Cedars. Unlike your typical sleepy, retirement community, we offer so much more. The Cedars is part of the multigenerational, mixed use Meadowmont neighborhood, near historic downtown Chapel Hill. Our community includes Villas, Verandas and individual Cottage homes. A full-service Clubhouse and on-site Health Center offering skilled nursing care, memory care, assisted living and home care are also located within The Cedars.
As a Member, you will enjoy the independence and financial benefits of owning your own home, without the hassles. We’ll handle everything so you can pursue other interests. And more importantly, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes from having a continuing health care plan in place should you need it.

a retired Dennis who specialize in orthodontics the quest for finding the perfect CCRC started when my mother lived at a CCRC in Philadelphia my wife out and I start to work at retirement places then when we moved to Chapel Hill we really swung into high gear because although we knew that our moving would be about 10 years hence we understood that they were waiting lists at some of the retirement places and we thought it would be a good idea to at least get on one of those lists and we looked at half a dozen of them or so and really kick the tires pretty hard that and we learned a lot about the various business models and other aspects of it what attracted me to the Cedars was that number one was the equity aspect number two was no debt number three is that occupancy is not an issue here all of the other continuing care retirement communities that I had ever seen had only one thing on their mind and that that dimension was the occupancy how filled up was the institution my wife had never lived in an apartment an entire life I had been an apartment dweller on and off over the years and in fact like living in apartments and Lynn showed us an apartment it was really the first one she showed us and there's a balcony and it was very bright and you know one could see outdoors and my wife had not been in this apartment for more than a minute we had not seen the entire apartment and she said I could live here she said this this is a place that I could live and the Cedars of all the places we looked at just had the best feel to us the business model and financial plan was the soundest for us they say location location location without a doubt the location of the Cedars was by far better than me other places we really have never lived in a spot that was as convenient to all the action as the Cedars is and so we have been just totally delighted with our move and I have no doubt that this is the wisest move we've ever made you
