Questions families ask

How do I verify licensing for a continuing-care retirement community near Fearrington Village in Pittsboro?

The assisted living and skilled nursing components of a continuing-care retirement community (CCRC) are each separately licensed and searchable through DHSR's Regulated Facilities search (info.ncdhhs.gov/dhsr/facilities/search.asp) — the adult care home portion under Chapter 131D/10A NCAC 13F and any nursing facility portion under the separate nursing home licensure framework — while the independent-living housing itself is not a DHSR-licensed health care facility.

What should I ask a facility in Smithfield about its 'admission and retention' policy?

Adult care homes operate under 10A NCAC 13F rules governing which residents they may admit and continue to serve based on assessed level of care — facilities are generally required to use a state-approved assessment (commonly the FL-2 medical form completed by a physician) to determine whether a resident's needs fall within what the facility is licensed and staffed to provide, and to discharge or transfer residents whose needs exceed that scope. Ask the facility directly what level-of-care threshold would trigger a required move, since this varies by facility and by whether the resident is in a general unit or a licensed Special Care Unit.

Can I trust glowing online reviews of an assisted living facility in Durham, or should I check something official first?

Online reviews aren't part of North Carolina's regulatory oversight and can't substitute for it — the official sources are DHSR's Regulated Facilities search to confirm licensure and DHSR's ACLS Facility Inspections, Ratings and Penalties search (info.ncdhhs.gov/dhsr/acls/star/search.asp) to review actual inspection findings, corrective action history, and any penalties within the last 36 months. Reviews can supplement that picture but shouldn't replace checking the state's own compliance record.
