Questions families ask

What has to be disclosed if a memory care unit in Wake Forest calls itself a 'Special Care Unit'?

Under G.S. 131D-8 and 10A NCAC 13F .1300 (the Special Care Unit rules), a facility operating a dementia/Alzheimer's unit must file a disclosure statement with DHSR describing the unit's philosophy of care, staffing and training specific to dementia care, physical environment, admission and discharge criteria, and programming — this disclosure must also be made available to prospective residents and families. The required content and format are published on DHSR's Special Care Unit disclosure page (ncdhhs.gov, ACLS).

How do I find inspection reports and violation history for a nursing home in Durham?

Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) are licensed and certified by DHSR's Nursing Home Licensure and Certification Section and are also surveyed under federal Medicare/Medicaid rules, so their inspection results, deficiencies, and CMS Five-Star Quality Rating are published on Medicare's Care Compare website (medicare.gov/care-compare) alongside the underlying survey (Form 2567) reports. You can cross-reference the same facility's NC license status through DHSR's Regulated Facilities search at info.ncdhhs.gov/dhsr/facilities/search.asp.

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.
