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.
