"The best advice I can give to anyone going through a rough patch is never be afraid to ask for help."
-Demi Lovato

Welcome to Thriving in Place (TIP)
Thriving in Place (TIP) is a 501 (c) (3) charitable corporation that serves residents in Carolina Preserve, an active adult community, in Cary, N.C. We are an organization, whose vision is "neighbors helping neighbors" to stay in their homes and lead happier, healthier, independent lives. We are members of the Village-to-Village Network, a group that has pioneered this model. 

TIP serves Carolina Preserve (CP) residents only. If you live in Carolina Preserve and would like to be eligible to receive services and/or volunteer, then consider joining TIP and becoming a "Villager". There is no joining fee and services are free
On April 2 2024 TIP Board members held its first volunteer appreciation event and we were thrilled to see so many people attend. We had a chance to personally thank those that have unselfishly dedicated their time in helping others in need. Without our volunteers, TIP would not be able to offer the services that we do. So, again thanks to all of our volunteers. YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

If you were unable to attend, please enjoy the PowerPoint presentation, video and photos.

Testimonials

“TIP drivers are just so kind and understanding. They talk with me on my way to the doctor’s appointment.”

-Virginia Dreikosen
“Simply put, I could not live in Carolina Preserve without the help of TIP.”
- Janet Zevin
“I am an artist and I had a difficult time trying to move photos from my cell phone to my computer. A TIP volunteer was able to help. Now, I can enlarge the pictures on the computer and paint them."
- Leslie Knaup

TIP Villagers Enjoy "Villager Only" Benefits as Well as Services
Once you join TIP and become a Villager, you will be able to volunteer and/or request TIP services including rides to medical appointments, assistance with simple household tasks, technology support, friendly check-ins and loans of medical equipment.

However, did you know that as a Villager, you will also have access to our "Villager Only" benefits? This includes our newsletter, resource directory, healthy aging page and our TIP blogs. Our blog contains posts such as "Ask An Expert" where we pose a question to an expert in a certain field. Wouldn't it be helpful to know the answer to a question such as this one, "What are the qualifications of the person who tests my hearing and sells me a hearing aid?" These Villager Only benefits are updated periodically. Consider joining TIP.
