The East Tower at Cardinal North Hills

My father in law was living independently with parkinsons for many years. In the last year he was declining rapidly and was finally open to the realization that he needed more support. He did not want to go to a place like the cardinal and was determined to stay where he was. We are grateful to the staff at the cardinal that assisted us in navigating the waiting list, allowing careful thought out ways to have him visit the place, to approach it more like another apartment vs joining a social community (which he wanted nothing to do with). Long story short, we are SOOOOO thankful that now, one month into his living in assisted living at the cardinal, he is pleasantly surprised at his comfort and ease of living. He has support throughout the day, meals are brought to him, he has help constantly available. HE DOESN'T HATE IT!!!! Dare I say, He seems to like it. (It's been a game changer that his meds are given to him exactly when he needs them) He seems brighter, more pleasant, and complains so much less than he used to. The staff are so kind and friendly to us whenever I ask questions or need better understanding. The food is great, the valet parking makes visiting so easy, and I cannot wait for spring to enjoy the courtyards as my father in law wheel chair races with my 4 year old on her scooter.

I cannot speak highly enough about The Cardinal at North Hills! My parents lives are easier (less bills & house maintenance!), giving them more time and energy for all of the fun activities and outings offered. The staff are all incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful. My kids love the food, indoor pool and putting green when they stay for sleepovers. My parents are so happy that they even persuaded my in-laws to also move in!

The cardinal is a fabulous place to live out my retirement. The building and grounds are attractive and maintained to the highest standard. The location in the midst3of north hill complex is a big plus. There are dozens of restaurants within walking distance as well as a grocery, taffeta store, movie theater, Walgreens and many other stores and shops. But the real treasure at the cardinal is the genuinely friendly, caring and competent staff. They .make this place a great experience. They are all cheerful and eager to help. Within a day or two they knew my name and important parts of my situation so they could help me as I made my way thru my day. They are the key to this place feeling like my home rather than simply a senior facility. This is the kind of place where you want to move o into too soon rather than too late.

Beautiful facilities and caring staff make our retirement enjoyable. We have developed many new friendships with staff and residents here. Living in the MidTown area of North Hills is a great benefit.

We had the pleasure of visiting The Cardinal and were immediately impressed by the welcoming team, the beautiful amenities, and the thoughtful care options available. The community blends luxury resort-style spaces with truly home-like accommodations, creating a warm and comfortable environment for residents and their families. Located in the vibrant North Hills area of Raleigh, The Cardinal feels like a peaceful oasis, while still offering easy access to everything nearby. The membership team is outstanding, and we highly recommend reaching out if you are considering a senior community.
