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.

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.

You can check any facility's record free. NC DHSR's Regulated Facilities search shows license status; its ACLS tool shows inspection history and penalties. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

My mother lives in a nursing home in Franklin County -- which Ombudsman office should I contact?

Franklin County is not covered by the Central Pines Regional Council office that serves most of the Triangle. Instead, it falls under the Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments Ombudsman Program, reachable at 1-866-506-6223 (toll-free) or (252) 436-2050, with a mailing address of PO Box 709, Henderson, NC 27536.

Which counties does the Central Pines Regional Council Ombudsman office actually cover?

The Central Pines Regional Council (formerly Triangle J Council of Governments) Ombudsman office covers seven counties: Wake, Durham, Orange, Chatham, Johnston, Lee, and Moore. Harnett County, though geographically near the Triangle, falls under the Mid-Carolina Council of Governments region (with Cumberland and Sampson counties) instead, and Franklin County falls under the Kerr-Tar region.

What other services does the Central Pines Regional Council Area Agency on Aging provide besides the Ombudsman Program?

Beyond the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, Central Pines Regional Council's Area Agency on Aging offers Information and Referral services to help families find aging-related resources, private-pay Options Counseling, and a Veteran-Directed Service Program pilot for eligible veterans who want more control over their home-based care services.

What can the Long-Term Care Ombudsman actually do for my family member in a nursing home or adult care home?

The Ombudsman Program investigates and works to resolve complaints made by or on behalf of residents of nursing homes, adult care homes, and family care homes, and advocates to protect resident rights. Ombudsmen can visit facilities, talk with residents and staff, help mediate disputes, and educate residents and families about their rights -- but they act only with the resident's consent and do not have enforcement or licensing authority.
