The Smithfield market specifically
Johnston County's seat and home to UNC Health Johnston's main hospital campus, making it the county's primary hub for senior medical care and skilled nursing facilities.
As the Johnston County seat, Smithfield concentrates the county's skilled nursing capacity, and families elsewhere in Johnston County often travel here for that level of care.
The question about money nobody asks early enough
Ask what happens if private funds run out, and whether the community holds a Medicaid waiver provider agreement. A meaningful share of communities do not participate at all, which converts a funding problem into a forced move at the worst possible moment.
