How North Carolina regulates this provider

Adult care homes -- the license category covering assisted living and memory care in NC -- are licensed under N.C.G.S. Chapter 131D and 10A NCAC 13F by the Division of Health Service Regulation. A community marketing secured memory care must additionally hold an approved Special Care Unit disclosure under G.S. 131D-8. Nursing homes are licensed separately and carry the federal CMS Five-Star rating that adult care homes do not receive. Inspection history for any NC-licensed facility is free to pull from DHSR's Regulated Facilities search and, for adult care homes specifically, the ACLS Inspections, Ratings and Penalties tool.

Evaluating a hospice provider

  • Ask how quickly a nurse responds after hours and on weekends, and whether that is an on-call clinician or an answering service that pages someone.
  • Ask what is provided in the home versus what requires an inpatient unit, and where that inpatient care would take place.
  • You can change hospice providers, and you can revoke hospice and return to curative treatment.

Questions families ask

What's the main hospital system for seniors in Wake County, and who do I contact if I suspect abuse or neglect?

Wake County's senior population is primarily served by WakeMed (with campuses in Raleigh and Cary) and UNC REX Healthcare, both offering emergency, inpatient, and geriatric specialty care across the county, plus Duke Raleigh Hospital for Duke Health-affiliated care. To report suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of an older or disabled adult in Wake County, contact Wake County Human Services Adult Protective Services at 919-212-7264 (fax 919-212-7354) during business hours, or call 911 if someone is in immediate danger.

Is Durham County covered by the same Area Agency on Aging as Wake, and what's the main hospital system there?

Yes — Durham County is covered by the same Central Pines Regional Council (Triangle J) Area Agency on Aging as Wake County, reachable at 1-800-310-9777, which provides the regional Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program and options counseling for Durham families. Durham's dominant hospital system is Duke Health, anchored by Duke University Hospital and Duke Regional Hospital, including Duke's geriatrics and memory-care specialty programs. For suspected abuse or neglect of an older adult in Durham County, contact Durham County DSS Adult Services directly, since Adult Protective Services is administered at the county level rather than through a single statewide number.

How does population growth in Durham affect senior care wait times and availability?

Durham has grown rapidly along with the rest of the Triangle, and that growth has pushed demand for both home care aides and assisted living beds, meaning families should expect to plan further ahead than they might have a decade ago, particularly for memory care beds with a licensed Special Care Unit designation. Duke Health's size helps somewhat on the medical side, since it supports a large network of home health and rehab referral partners, but availability still varies by neighborhood and facility. Contacting the Central Pines/Triangle J Area Agency on Aging (1-800-310-9777) early — before a crisis — for current local waitlist information is the best way to plan realistically.
