System gives top marks to most adult care homes
Virtually all of North Carolina's adult-care homes included in a new rating system are getting top marks under a system that awards stars to the homes.
Posted — UpdatedNo facility can receive yet the highest rating of four stars because it requires two consecutive inspection scores of 100 points. Forty-five facilities scored 100 points or more.
The North Carolina Rating Program was introduced this year to help families make informed decisions about adult-care homes in the state.
Advocacy group Friends of Adult Care Homes advises families to use the rating as part of their process in deciding their care options. It also recommends visiting facilities, speaking with residents and consulting with adult home specialists before making any decisions.
