Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Apex may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Apex care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Apex, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.

Residential Care Home
I really like the fact that it's a small home-type setting. Staff and everyone were easy to work with and I'd highly recommend that you take a look and consider them.
My aunt was a resident before her passing at Riverside! She received the most loving care possible! I would recommend this care home to anyone! Your loved one receives individual care as if they are in their own home! The small environment offers the comforts of one's own home! The staff was always on top of everything! I enjoyed every visit there!
We ultimately chose Avendelle Assisted Living because dad was able to get his own private room here. We love it and everything has worked out great.

Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:
This small suburb of Raleigh offers retirees a quiet place to call home in a community of close-knit residents. Historic sites like the Maynard-Pearson House contribute to Apex’s quaint, small-town feel. Getting the best of both worlds, Apex residents have access to health care and shopping centers to meet their daily needs without ever being too far from Raleigh’s vibrant downtown area.
In Apex, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
The median monthly cost of a room in a care home in 2019 was about $6,400 in the Apex area, and $5,000 in the state of North Carolina. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.
The total household expenses associated with living in Apex are rated 18 points above the national average. Grocery and other essential costs are also rated significantly higher the average.
