Signature Healthcare of Chapel Hill is structured around a dedicated Memory Care program that supports residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Short-term respite stays are offered, giving caregivers a break while ensuring their loved one continues to receive consistent supervision and therapy. Physical therapy is available on site, allowing residents to work on strength, balance, and mobility without leaving the community.
Beyond core Memory Care, residents have access to a wide range of medical services delivered in-house. Licensed nurses direct daily clinical oversight, manage medications, and coordinate wound care. Occupational therapy, vision care, speech therapy, and podiatry services are provided to address specific functional or sensory needs. Pain management and dental care are available, and the team is equipped to monitor cardiac and diabetic conditions. The community provides resident and family counseling and can transition individuals to hospice care when required, ensuring continuous support through changing health stages.
Accommodations include private and semiprivate rooms, some of which are pet friendly. Select rooms offer internet connections and Wi-Fi access, and several open directly onto outdoor areas where residents can safely enjoy fresh air. Because floor plans vary, not every room contains every feature, so prospective residents should confirm the details of their chosen accommodation during a tour.
Meals are prepared on site and served in a communal dining space three times daily, with staff able to adjust textures and portion sizes for individual dietary plans. For residents receiving hospice services, tailored nutritional support is coordinated with the hospice team to promote comfort and maintain necessary caloric intake.
Residents can spend time in an activity center that hosts arts and crafts sessions, club meetings, and social outings organized by the life-enrichment staff. A library and computer lounge offer quiet reading areas and internet access for email or video calls. Group events and community clubs encourage residents to stay socially connected and mentally engaged.
