What should we ask Meridian Center before choosing it?
Use the federal record as a checklist: ask for the plan of correction covering the 7 deficiencies cited June 11, 2026, and what is done differently now.
- Turnover of 51.2% is at or below the local median; ask which nurses have worked nights the longest.
- Ask what led to $88,566 in CMS fines and whether the underlying problem is resolved.
- Occupancy is about 86%; ask which units have open beds and why.
- CMS lists a resident council; ask when it meets and whether families may attend.
- If Medicaid may pay later, confirm Meridian Center accepts NC Medicaid for long-term stays and how a private-pay resident converts.
