The Princeton market specifically

A small eastern Johnston County town near Goldsboro's edge, offering rural, low-cost living for aging residents with access to UNC Health Johnston in Smithfield.

Princeton families typically rely on Smithfield's larger senior-care market, since this small eastern Johnston County town has little licensed capacity of its own.

The local long-term care ombudsman. NC Division of Aging and Adult Services (NCDHHS) runs the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman, with 16 Offices of the Regional Long-Term Care Ombudsman housed within regional Area Agencies on Aging. covers Wake, Durham, Orange, Chatham, Johnston, Lee and Moore counties at 1-800-310-9777 (Central Pines Regional Council / Triangle J region toll-free Ombudsman line, covering Wake, Durham, Orange, Chatham, Johnston, Lee, and Moore counties); Franklin County is a different region.

Questions families ask

What number do I call to report problems with conditions inside a licensed nursing home or adult care home in North Carolina?

Call NC DHSR's Complaint Intake Unit at 1-800-624-3004 (in-state) or 919-855-4500 to report complaints about conditions, safety, or regulatory violations inside a licensed adult care home, family care home, or nursing home. The complaint line operates 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. on weekdays, excluding holidays.

What are common signs of financial exploitation of a senior that families in the Triangle should watch for?

Warning signs of financial exploitation can include sudden changes to a will, power of attorney, or bank account beneficiaries; unexplained withdrawals or missing funds; a new 'friend' or caregiver who becomes unusually involved in financial matters; unpaid bills despite adequate income; and the senior seeming confused, secretive, or fearful about money. If financial exploitation is suspected, report it to the county DSS Adult Protective Services office where the adult lives.

What should I do if I think my elderly parent is in immediate physical danger right now?

Call 911 immediately if a senior is in immediate danger. Adult Protective Services and the DHSR facility complaint line are important resources for investigating and addressing abuse, neglect, or facility conditions, but they are not emergency response services and should not be used in place of 911 when someone's safety is at risk right now.

Does Adult Protective Services get involved if my mother is being neglected by a family caregiver at home, not in a facility?

Yes. County Adult Protective Services investigates suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of vulnerable adults regardless of setting, including situations where a family member or informal caregiver is providing inadequate or harmful care in a private home. Reports go to the county DSS where the older adult lives -- for Wake County, that's Wake County Human Services at 919-212-7264.
