Overview of Signature HealthCARE of Chapel Hill

Signature HealthCARE of Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, NC, provides skilled nursing, hospice, and palliative care within a nursing home. The skilled nursing and nursing home sides provide ongoing nursing support. Palliative care eases the symptoms of a serious illness, while hospice care prioritizes comfort as life approaches its end. A person requiring nursing assistance at present, and possibly needing hospice or palliative care later, can receive both without having to leave.

Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are all accepted, and the suitable option depends on a family’s eligibility and financial capability. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled care following a qualifying hospital stay. Medicaid might assist with an extended stay for a qualifying resident.

The 108 beds run at 88.5 percent occupancy. Nursing staff allocate 3 hours and 53 minutes of time for each resident daily.
