Penalties
- Apr 24, 2025 · Federal fine$25,879
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.
Staffing

| All nursing staff, adjusted for residents' needs | 4.67 | 3.99 |

| Nurse aides (most hands-on care) | 2.70 | 2.37 |
| All nursing staff on weekends | 3.63 | 3.40 |

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 residents were harmed on Apr 24, 2025 (Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing). What changed afterwards, and who is responsible for it now?
- The home was penalised on Apr 24, 2025. 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.
