Greensboro Senior AdvisorHow does Greensboro Senior Advisor source its facts?
Every rule we describe is tied to Chapter 131D, the 13F or 13G rules, or the DHSR or NCDHHS page it came from, and every number traces to one named publication: CareScout's March 2026 North Carolina cost release, NCDHHS letter EFS-SA-04-2025 for Special Assistance, the Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 estimates and the VA's current pension tables.
These are the documents we work from, roughly in the order families need them:
- N.C. General Statutes Chapter 131D (adult care homes)
- 10A NCAC 13F .0605, staffing rule for adult care homes (DHSR rules text)
- DHSR Adult Care Licensure Section facility listings (adult care homes, family care homes, special care units)
- DHSR Facility Inspections, Ratings and Penalties search
- DHSR adult care home penalties, last 36 months
- DHSR special care unit application and disclosure
- DHSR Complaint Intake Unit
- NCDHHS letter EFS-SA-04-2025: 2026 Special Assistance rates
- NC Medicaid CAP/DA program page
- NC Medicaid PACE program page
- North Carolina PACE Association program list
- CareScout 2025 Cost of Care data for North Carolina (Business Wire, March 2, 2026)
- CMS Care Compare Provider Information dataset
- VA veterans pension rates
- Guilford County Department of Social Services (NCDHHS county page)
- Rockingham County Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS county page)
- Randolph County: report adult abuse or neglect
- Piedmont Triad Regional Council Area Agency on Aging
- U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2025 county age estimates for North Carolina
What does Greensboro Senior Advisor refuse to publish?
Anything we cannot trace to a primary record: invented averages, facility claims that are not in DHSR or CMS data, testimonials, ratings of our own making and reviews.
- No Greensboro or Triad price median; the only published North Carolina cost figures are statewide.
- No memory care price median; nobody surveys one.
- No grade or ranking of our own; the only stars shown are DHSR's for adult care homes and CMS's for nursing homes.
- No amenities or prices lifted from operator marketing.
When is the Triad directory rebuilt?
Each rebuild pulls DHSR's current listings (the version on the site was retrieved November 6, 2026), each home's rating and inspection documents, the 36-month penalty list and the CMS nursing home file dated October 1, 2026; the fetch script can be rerun at any time.
Listing pages print their data date in the source line. The sitemap's last-modified date for a page moves only when that page's text actually changes, not on every rebuild.
How do star ratings and penalties appear on the site?
Adult care home stars appear exactly as DHSR publishes them, on DHSR's zero-to-four scale; nursing home stars appear only where CMS publishes them, on CMS's one-to-five scale; and penalties are copied from DHSR's 36-month list with the rule, level, amount and status.
When a facility page says a home staffs above or below the local median, or is larger than the typical adult care home here, that is simple arithmetic on published figures, and the page names the comparison group.
How are mistakes fixed?
Write to advisors@greensborosenioradvisor.com with the page address and what needs changing. We fix display errors ourselves; a wrong license field or CMS figure has to be corrected at its source, and we will tell you which agency to contact.
When a benefit amount or rule changes, we check the new figure in the agency's own document first, update the reference page that owns it, and then every guide that quotes it.
