The Nursing Home Licensure and Certification Section of the NC Division of Health Service Regulation (DHSR) licenses North Carolina nursing homes and inspects those in Medicare and Medicaid. Some homes are licensed as combination homes with both adult care beds and nursing home beds. Source, checked October 26, 2026.

Routine inspections of Medicare and Medicaid nursing homes take place every nine to 15 months. When surveyors find a problem they write a report called a Statement of Deficiency, and the home must submit a plan of correction for each problem. Source, checked October 26, 2026.

The section says it receives about 3,000 nursing home complaints a year. Surveyors investigate them, and the person who complained gets a letter with the findings. Source, checked October 26, 2026.

DHSR posts Statements of Deficiencies for nursing homes it regulates, for surveys dated March 1, 2011 or later, in a search by county, city or facility name. Source, checked October 26, 2026.
