The 84-bed Arboretum at Woodland Terrace, located in Cary at 300 Kildaire Woods Dr, Wake County, North Carolina, provides specialized memory care for residents with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Executive Director Amanda Klobuchar oversees the specialized memory care community, which has maintained an active license throughout 27 years of continuous operation.
All 19 inspections since 2015 documented 43 deficiencies with no fines; deficiency rates of 3.9 per year are 7% better than North Carolina’s average. Most significantly, a March 2024 complaint investigation substantiated resident abuse; a staff member was terminated and criminally charged, though witnesses failed to intervene or report. January 2024 inspections cited food safety, resident screening, and tuberculosis testing deficiencies. The June 2025 follow-up confirmed all prior deficiencies had been corrected, with registered nurses providing 1 hour of care per resident daily, 71% above the state average.
Signature programming at the Arboretum includes the Art of Living Well®, Music & Memory (a specialized dementia-focused therapeutic approach), aquatics, and gardening activities designed to promote engagement and well-being. Residents benefit from comprehensive medication management, personal care assistance, three daily meals plus snacks, laundry and housekeeping services, scheduled transportation, recreational day trips, and planned social and educational events.
Pets are welcomed, and the facility’s 3-story building includes studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans ranging from 492 to 1,650 square feet.
The facility’s Woodland Terrace location carries a walk score of 55, indicating moderate walkability with some nearby amenities accessible on foot.
Memory care in a smaller, intimate setting with strong nursing presence characterizes The Arboretum at Woodland Terrace; its 39% occupancy reflects demand below the North Carolina state average of 76.4%.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 56m per day | ▲ 27% State avg: 44m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 22m per day | ▼ 35% State avg: 34m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 50m per day | ▲ 12% State avg: 2h 32m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 44m per day | ▲ 11% State avg: 3h 21m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 24m per day | ▼ 20% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
