The Raleigh market specifically

State capital and hub of the Triangle, home to WakeMed Raleigh Campus, UNC REX Healthcare, and Duke Raleigh Hospital, with dense senior-services infrastructure and the region's largest network of home-care agencies and assisted living communities.

As the metro's hub, Raleigh has by far the largest concentration of licensed adult care homes, CCRCs, and skilled nursing facilities in the Triangle, so families here usually compare five or more options rather than one or two.

What the contract does that the tour does not

The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable.

Ask for a blank copy to take home before you are asked to sign anything.

Questions families ask

What NC statute actually governs assisted living facilities, and where can I read it?

North Carolina's adult care homes are governed by N.C. General Statutes Chapter 131D (Article 1), with G.S. 131D-2.11 establishing DHSR's licensing authority and G.S. 131D-8 covering the Special Care Unit disclosure requirement for memory care units. The implementing regulations are in 10A NCAC 13F (Licensing of Homes for the Aged and Infirm/Adult Care Homes), adopted by the N.C. Medical Care Commission; the full statute text is published at ncleg.gov.

How many residents can a licensed family care home in Garner have?

A family care home in North Carolina is licensed for 2 to 6 unrelated residents. It operates under the same Chapter 131D and 10A NCAC 13F framework as larger adult care homes but is treated as a distinct residential-scale option within that same license category, not a separate license type.

My mother has Alzheimer's — what should a Special Care Unit disclosure statement at a Holly Springs facility actually tell me?

The disclosure statement required under G.S. 131D-8 and 10A NCAC 13F .1300–.1303 must describe the unit's care philosophy, dementia-specific staff training, physical design and security features, admission/discharge criteria, and the specialized programming or activities offered — DHSR publishes the required content on its Special Care Unit disclosure page. It is a mandatory filing, not a marketing document, and prospective families are entitled to review it before or during admission.

If I suspect neglect at an adult care home in Morrisville, do I call DHSR or Adult Protective Services?

Either — DHSR's Complaint Intake Unit (1-800-624-3004 or 919-855-4500) accepts complaints about licensed facilities and often forwards conditions-of-care concerns to the local county DSS, while Wake County's Adult Protective Services (919-212-7264) directly investigates suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of an individual resident. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 first.
