Position within North Carolina
18 citations — more than 81% of the 568 licensed assisted living facilities in North Carolina. Compared only within North Carolina: a citation from DHSR means what it means in North Carolina, and there is no national assisted living record to compare to. Counted over 3 years, which holds two or three routine inspections. How this is calculated
Not in this record
Severity, the regulation text, the surveyor's narrative, the star rating, and penalties. DHSR assigns no severity on these statements; the plan of correction is the facility's own text and is not republished, and the star rating and the penalties DHSR lists on the same page are not republished. What is here is unusual among states: DHSR's Construction Section inspects the building and its fire safety itself and posts those statements per home, so this record carries a real life safety section. Family care homes, two to six beds, are also licensed by DHSR and are not included.
