Questions families ask

What number do I call to report problems with conditions inside a licensed nursing home or adult care home in North Carolina?

Call NC DHSR's Complaint Intake Unit at 1-800-624-3004 (in-state) or 919-855-4500 to report complaints about conditions, safety, or regulatory violations inside a licensed adult care home, family care home, or nursing home. The complaint line operates 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. on weekdays, excluding holidays.

What are common signs of financial exploitation of a senior that families in the Triangle should watch for?

Warning signs of financial exploitation can include sudden changes to a will, power of attorney, or bank account beneficiaries; unexplained withdrawals or missing funds; a new 'friend' or caregiver who becomes unusually involved in financial matters; unpaid bills despite adequate income; and the senior seeming confused, secretive, or fearful about money. If financial exploitation is suspected, report it to the county DSS Adult Protective Services office where the adult lives.

What should I do if I think my elderly parent is in immediate physical danger right now?

Call 911 immediately if a senior is in immediate danger. Adult Protective Services and the DHSR facility complaint line are important resources for investigating and addressing abuse, neglect, or facility conditions, but they are not emergency response services and should not be used in place of 911 when someone's safety is at risk right now.
