Self Description:
Carolina Meadows is a continuing care retirement community, otherwise known as a Life Plan Community, nestled within a well-manicured and carefully landscaped 166-acre campus located approximately 4.5 miles south of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Residents enjoy a variety of daily activities and amenities, multiple dining venues, a large and inviting library, Wi-Fi throughout the campus, an indoor pool and Jacuzzi, two tennis courts, pickleball, and a 6-hole golf course. In addition, residents enjoy a variety of periodic concerts and lectures chosen by residents for residents. Residents of Carolina Meadows enjoy an on-site medical clinic staffed by its own physician and nurse practitioners as well as contracted physician services with the UNC Division of Geriatric Medicine.
One of the defining attributes of Carolina Meadows is the resident-driven culture of active participation and involvement in the day-to-day activities of the community. In addition, residents have a voice in the governance of the organization with four voting residents required to serve on the Board of Directors.
This longstanding culture of resident participation and involvement enhances engagement and satisfaction among and between residents, management, and Board members.
Carolina Meadows offers two types of Fee-for-Service contracts: a fully refundable entrance fee contract that includes future shared appreciation less future refurbishing and remarketing or a 75% refundable entrance fee contract based on original entry fee paid.
