I’ve had a busy few months visiting various senior living communities across Central North Carolina. Through my travel I have had many conversations with senior industry professionals and they have all said that NC is one of the best places to retire. Many retirees are coming to take advantage of our gorgeous weather, hoping to experience four seasons. Existing communities are expanding their campuses while new communities are sprouting all over!
In this issue, our cover story will hopefully inspire you to take on a craft that will make a difference. This is exactly what a Wake Forest University student, Taylor Graustein did; finding comfort in a craft that honors her mother’s memory. Her business, “Benefiscent” was born from a desire to contribute to cancer research and honor a loved one.
