Visit twice, at different hours

A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.

Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.

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

Are adult care home license fees and penalties the same for a small facility in Zebulon as a large one in North Hills?

No — while both are licensed under the same single 'adult care home' category, DHSR's fee schedule and civil penalty tiers differ by bed count, generally distinguishing facilities with 9 or fewer beds from those with 10 or more. This is a difference in fee/penalty structure within one license type, not a separate license classification.

How do I verify licensing for a continuing-care retirement community near Fearrington Village in Pittsboro?

The assisted living and skilled nursing components of a continuing-care retirement community (CCRC) are each separately licensed and searchable through DHSR's Regulated Facilities search (info.ncdhhs.gov/dhsr/facilities/search.asp) — the adult care home portion under Chapter 131D/10A NCAC 13F and any nursing facility portion under the separate nursing home licensure framework — while the independent-living housing itself is not a DHSR-licensed health care facility.

What should I ask a facility in Smithfield about its 'admission and retention' policy?

Adult care homes operate under 10A NCAC 13F rules governing which residents they may admit and continue to serve based on assessed level of care — facilities are generally required to use a state-approved assessment (commonly the FL-2 medical form completed by a physician) to determine whether a resident's needs fall within what the facility is licensed and staffed to provide, and to discharge or transfer residents whose needs exceed that scope. Ask the facility directly what level-of-care threshold would trigger a required move, since this varies by facility and by whether the resident is in a general unit or a licensed Special Care Unit.

Can I trust glowing online reviews of an assisted living facility in Durham, or should I check something official first?

Online reviews aren't part of North Carolina's regulatory oversight and can't substitute for it — the official sources are DHSR's Regulated Facilities search to confirm licensure and DHSR's ACLS Facility Inspections, Ratings and Penalties search (info.ncdhhs.gov/dhsr/acls/star/search.asp) to review actual inspection findings, corrective action history, and any penalties within the last 36 months. Reviews can supplement that picture but shouldn't replace checking the state's own compliance record.
