DHSR lists 18 family care homes and 7 adult care homes in Rockingham County. Most of the small homes are in Reidsville and Eden. Read each one's star rating and inspection history, and ask who lives there now.
Why Rockingham County looks different
Rockingham is the oldest of the three counties we cover: 23.5% of residents were 65 or older in 2025 Census estimates, with a median age of 44.8. Yet it has only a handful of large adult care homes. What it has instead is a network of family care homes, licensed residences for two to six adults under 10A NCAC 13G.
For many families that is a good fit. A family care home looks like a house on an ordinary street, often with the same caregivers every day. For others, the limits of a small home, such as fewer activities and no dementia unit, point toward a larger building in Reidsville, Mayodan or Greensboro.

Who does well in a family care home
Residents who need help with bathing, dressing and medications but do not need a secured dementia unit, who prefer quiet to activity calendars, and who are comfortable in a household-sized group often do very well. The familiarity of a few consistent caregivers can matter more than amenities.
Some family care homes serve mainly younger adults with mental illness or disabilities, and others mainly older adults; the license does not say which. Before visiting, ask who lives there now and whether your parent would fit in.
What to check on a visit
Check that the license is current and matches the address, then read the home's latest annual survey on its page. In a six-bed home, look closely at medication findings and supervision, because one person often covers everything on a shift.
Ask how the home covers nights, staff vacations and sick days, who the back-up caregiver is, and what happens if the owner is away. Visit at a mealtime and again in the early evening. A home that welcomes an unannounced second visit is usually confident in its routine.
Adult care homes in Rockingham County
For families who want a larger setting, Rockingham's adult care homes are Brookdale Eden (Eden, 82 beds), Brookdale Reidsville (Reidsville, 76 beds), Devoted Assisted Living (Stoneville, 18 beds), Highgrove Long Term Care Center (Reidsville, 62 beds), North Pointe of Mayodan (Mayodan, 70 beds), Pine Forrest Home for the Aged (Reidsville, 58 beds), The Landings of Rockingham (Reidsville, 43 beds). Two of them hold special care unit beds for dementia.
UNC Rockingham Hospital in Eden and Annie Penn Hospital in Reidsville are the county's hospitals, so a home near one of them can simplify appointments and discharges.
Help beyond the home itself
PACE of the Triad lists Rockingham County in its service area, offering an alternative for adults 55 and older who qualify for nursing home care but want to stay home. CAP/DA is available through NC Medicaid for eligible adults.
The Piedmont Triad Regional Council Area Agency on Aging (336-904-0300) houses the regional long-term care ombudsmen who visit Rockingham's homes and help residents resolve problems.
Paying for a family care home
Family care homes are paid privately or through State/County Special Assistance, which pays the same Basic Rate of $1,397 a month in 2026 as in a larger adult care home. Many Rockingham homes accept it, which makes them an important option for residents with modest income.
Apply through Rockingham County's Department of Health and Human Services in Wentworth (336-342-1394). If a parent needs a dementia unit later, the Enhanced Rate applies only in a special care unit, which in this county means a move to Reidsville or Mayodan.
