Questions families ask

What's the difference between calling Adult Protective Services and calling the state facility complaint line?

Adult Protective Services (county DSS) investigates suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a specific vulnerable adult, wherever they live -- including in their own home, a family member's home, or a facility. The DHSR facility complaint line (1-800-624-3004 or 919-855-4500) is specifically for complaints about conditions, care quality, or regulatory violations inside a licensed adult care home, family care home, or nursing home, and can trigger a state inspection of the facility itself.

What number do I call to report problems with conditions inside a licensed nursing home or adult care home in North Carolina?

Call NC DHSR's Complaint Intake Unit at 1-800-624-3004 (in-state) or 919-855-4500 to report complaints about conditions, safety, or regulatory violations inside a licensed adult care home, family care home, or nursing home. The complaint line operates 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. on weekdays, excluding holidays.

What are common signs of financial exploitation of a senior that families in the Triangle should watch for?

Warning signs of financial exploitation can include sudden changes to a will, power of attorney, or bank account beneficiaries; unexplained withdrawals or missing funds; a new 'friend' or caregiver who becomes unusually involved in financial matters; unpaid bills despite adequate income; and the senior seeming confused, secretive, or fearful about money. If financial exploitation is suspected, report it to the county DSS Adult Protective Services office where the adult lives.
