North Carolina's own inspections
NC's inspectors have posted 2 reports newer than the federal data: Dec 30, 2025, Sep 9, 2026. They are not in Care Compare yet.
Penalties
- Aug 27, 2024 · Payment denial: Medicare and Medicaid stopped paying for new admissions from Sep 26, 2024 (5 days)
- Aug 27, 2024 · Federal fine$8,401
- Aug 27, 2024 · Federal fine$8,400
Federal fines follow the most serious or repeated problems. A payment denial stops Medicare and Medicaid paying for new admissions — in practice, a pause on new admissions; residents already there are not affected by it.

This is what Medicaid pays, not what the home charges.

What you can do
Questions to ask on a tour, from this record
- Inspectors found immediate jeopardy on Aug 27, 2024 (Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents). What changed afterwards, and who is responsible for it now?
- The home was penalised on Aug 27, 2024. What was the problem, and is it fixed?
- The ownership changed recently. What has the new owner changed — staff, management, services?
- May I see your most recent inspection report? (Nursing homes must keep it where residents and visitors can read it.)
- How many residents does each nurse aide care for on day, evening and night shifts?
If your family member already lives here
A record like this is a reason to watch closely and ask questions, not necessarily to move — moving a frail person carries risks of its own. Raise concerns with the director of nursing first, in writing if serious. If that doesn't resolve them, call the free Long-Term Care Ombudsman (Centralina, (800) 508-5777) or file a complaint with the state (NC DHSR, 1-800-624-3004, weekdays). If someone is in danger now, call 911.
