The Carrboro market specifically

A walkable, artsy college-adjacent town bordering Chapel Hill, giving seniors easy access to UNC Health while enjoying a smaller-town, pedestrian-friendly community feel.

Carrboro families typically rely on Chapel Hill's larger senior-care market next door, since Carrboro itself has limited licensed capacity of its own.

You can check any facility's record free. NC DHSR's Regulated Facilities search shows license status; its ACLS tool shows inspection history and penalties. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

Is the same state agency in charge of licensing both nursing homes and assisted living communities in Raleigh?

Yes, both fall under the NC Department of Health and Human Services' Division of Health Service Regulation (DHSR), but two different sections handle them: the Adult Care Licensure Section (ACLS) licenses adult care homes and family care homes (what most people call assisted living), while the Nursing Home Licensure and Certification Section (NHLCS) licenses and federally certifies nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities). They operate under different statutory and rule frameworks and use different inspection/rating tools.

Where do I file a complaint about care quality at an adult care home in Apex?

Complaints about a licensed adult care home or family care home anywhere in North Carolina, including Apex, go to DHSR's Complaint Intake Unit at 1-800-624-3004 (in-state) or 919-855-4500, staffed weekdays 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m. except holidays. DHSR's Complaint Intake Unit often forwards complaints about specific resident conditions to the local county Department of Social Services for investigation, since Adult Protective Services in NC is county-administered.

What are DHSR's complaint line hours, and does it cover a facility in Fuquay-Varina?

DHSR's Complaint Intake and Health Care Personnel Investigations Section can be reached at 1-800-624-3004 (in North Carolina) or 919-855-4500, weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., excluding state holidays. This line covers complaints about any DHSR-regulated facility statewide, including licensed adult care homes, family care homes, and nursing homes in southern Wake County towns like Fuquay-Varina.

Is there a five-star rating system for assisted living communities in North Carolina like there is for nursing homes?

No. The federal CMS Five-Star Quality Rating System (via Medicare Care Compare) only applies to nursing homes, not to adult care homes or family care homes. Instead, DHSR's Adult Care Licensure Section maintains its own 'Facility Inspections, Ratings and Penalties' search tool (info.ncdhhs.gov/dhsr/acls/star/search.asp), which provides a state-specific, compliance-history-based star rating along with raw inspection reports and penalty records, but it is not standardized against other states.
