The facility operates under a for-profit model as part of several groups including Consulate Health Care, Independence Living Centers, Nspire Healthcare, and Raydiant Health Care, and it falls under the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association, with thorough oversight like CMS inspection reports that've found some deficiencies, including infection-related issues and a serious matter where resident safety came into jeopardy because belongings or money weren't properly protected, so you'll want to know these things when considering care, because they're required to assess residents and set care plans within a week, updating and reviewing those plans with a team of healthcare professionals.
