# Nursing homes in North Carolina

All **420** Medicare-certified nursing homes in North Carolina, with the safety record CMS publishes.

## Before the brochure: look at staffing

The best-evidenced predictor of safe care is **nurse hours per resident per day** — hands-on nursing time per resident, measured by CMS from payroll. About **4.1 total nurse hours/resident/day** is a staffing-adequacy reference (not a pass/fail line).

In North Carolina, the median home reports **3.51 hours/resident/day**, and **84 of 401** meet the 4.1-hour reference. A high overall star does not guarantee high staffing.

## CMS Special Focus facilities (12)

CMS places its most seriously and persistently underperforming homes on the Special Focus Facility program (or names them candidates). This is CMS's own designation — recorded, not an Atlas verdict.

## What this is — and is not

This is published CMS Nursing Home Care Compare data — the same facts CMS shows the public, sorted to compare. It **informs and compares**; it does **not** rate, rank, or recommend a home for an individual's needs, and no figure is a guarantee. Shortlist a few, visit in person, ask about the most recent inspection, and call your state Long-Term Care Ombudsman (theconsumervoice.org/get_help).
