Licensed facilities across Greater Charlotte — Charlotte and the surrounding Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Gaston, Union, and Iredell county communities.
North Carolina licenses senior care through a single division: the NC Division of Health Service Regulation (DHSR), part of NCDHHS. Within that one division, the Adult Care Licensure Section licenses Adult Care Homes (7+ beds) under 10A NCAC 13F and Family Care Homes (2-6 beds) under 10A NCAC 13G — the split is by size, not acuity tier; the Nursing Home Licensure and Certification Section licenses nursing homes under 10A NCAC 13D plus CMS certification. There is no separate memory-care license — dementia care is delivered in a Special Care Unit (SCU) within a licensed adult care home. Verify any provider on the NC DHSR facility search and Medicare Care Compare. Room-and-board help for eligible low-income seniors comes through State/County Special Assistance (SA) via the county Department of Social Services — a cash supplement, not Medicaid.
