-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

2025 Annual Meeting

TIP held its annual meeting on Thursday, January 16, 2025 both in-person and virtually. Thanks to all who were able to attend. Board members were so pleased to see the overwhelming response from the CP community!!! All seats were filled in the Bradford Hall Varsity room and we greatly appreciate it.


If you are not a TIP Villager and in need of any of the several services TIP provides or you are interested in volunteering for TIP, please join TIP. Membership and all services are free to all CP residents who join TIP. Even if you are not in need of services today, consider joining TIP. It is that insurance policy that pays dividends in the event that one day, you may be in need of temporary assistance. Check out our services by going to "Villagers">"Villager Benefits" from the top menu.


If you have any questions or suggestions, please call TIP at 919-588-4748 and leave a message. One of our dedicated dispatchers will return your call.


If you were unable to attend the annual meeting, you can view the slideshow by clicking on the link below.


Thanks again for your continued support. TIP would not be able to operate without the many CP volunteers who generously devote time to assisting those in need.

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.
