I have lived here for 3 1/2 years and have loved it since day one. The residents and associates are both caring and supportive. There are plenty of activities to keep us busy and entertained: theme parties, performers, organized games like Bridge and Mahjongg, sing-a-longs, exercise classes from Sit and Be Fit to Aquacise to Yoga to Tai Chi, speakers, outings for tours or restaurants or shopping, chorus, church services and Bible study, movies, and various classes in art, writing, and technology. The apartments are lovely with plenty of privacy when you want it. The onsite physical therapy group has worked miracles with me. I've also had great help when needed from an onsite care group - including having them walk my dogs who love it here as well and get lots of attention.

So far (6 months) living at the Cardinal has been a delight. Whether I enjoy my very comfortable apartment or roam around the public areas, there is always something to do or someone to chat with. The staff is wonderful. Always a hello, always pleasant. Super accommodating. The place is super clean, public areas are brightly done in calm neutral colors. Hallways are wide and quiet. Ambience is peaceful! And the residents are so pleasant and welcoming. The Cardinal is located in the wonderful North Hills shopping area. Great indoor parking for those with cars and multiple transportation options if you don't want to drive. Wonderful restaurants available for dining at or ordering in but if you want to be pampered at home The Cardinal has restaurant dining as well as takeout with menu options, multiple and varied. With coffee and tea always available in the main lobby.

I have been living at The Cardinal for three and one half years and it is a wonderful place. It provides so many fun activities, outings, and an amazing Wellness Program. I lost my husband after fifteen months here and don't know what I would have done without the love and care from everyone here. I am so blessed to be a part of the Cardinal family.

I have only lived here a short time but all my experiences have been positive. It is a learning curve to learn a new lifestyle but all staff has been helpful. The food is better than you would expect. Food service is not good at all but I can be hopeful that is due to staff problems and will soon improve.

I have lived in this community for 4 years. Ir was one of the best decisions we made. During the Covid Pandemic, they took care of us like delivering meals tou our apartment. We were all vaccinated with the Covid vaccine and received the flu shot and we get tested weekly. As a former nurse, I appreciate how well they have taken care of us!

Review of The Cardinal At North Hills
My husband, two dogs, and I have loved the Cardinal for 2 years. The dining team keeps us well fed and the wellness team keeps us fit. They also provide entertaining enrichment programs. The beauty salon keeps looking our best and the therapy department addresses physical and cognitive challenges. The reception desk keeps a jar of dog cookies. The Cardinal meets our needs, and has exceeded our expectations.

We lived in Chapel Hill and moved to a care. We visited multiple free tours in our area. The Cardinal was our top choice because it's new, in a very brand location, Under One Roof. we had not been deposited. The place has beautiful, communal areas, outside dining and wellness programs, and landscaped outdoor sitting areas. The staff is committed to proud top notch service. And it's a joy to live here.

Review of The Cardinal at North Hills
I have been very satisfied with The Cardinal from the very first day that we moved in. Our apartment is very spacious, private, and feels like home. We were welcomed into the community by everyone. The staff is attentive to our needs and are very professional and caring. Even during the pandemic, the meals serviced are excellent and delivered to our door. I like the fact that we can get caregivers and rehab services in our residence.
