Assisted Living in Raleigh, North Carolina

Raleigh is the state capital of North Carolina and, along with sister city Durham, makes up the Raleigh-Durham Research Triangle, which is home to many elite colleges and universities, including the prestigious University of North Carolina and Wake Forest University. Many of these universities may have opportunities for Raleigh seniors to enroll in continuing education by auditing certain courses. Aside from plenty of education opportunities, Raleigh is a city of culture, home to the North Carolina Museum of Art and the North Carolina Museum of Natural History. For individuals who enjoy spending time outdoors, there are several golf courses and public parks for seniors to walk trails, play sports or enjoy a picnic. The city is just a few hours’ drive from both mountains and the ocean — perfect for day trips.
