Rice Family Care

Is Rice Family Care a licensed family care home in Eden, NC?

Yes. Rice Family Care holds an active DHSR license as a family care home for 6 residents, the small-home category North Carolina licenses under 10A NCAC 13G, valid through December 31, 2026.

North Carolina renews these licenses every calendar year, and each one names a single legal operator at a single address, so a sale or move produces a new license number.

What star rating does North Carolina give Rice Family Care?

Rice Family Care holds 4 stars out of a possible 4 on DHSR's adult care rating, with a score of 102.50; 27 of the 63 rated adult care and family care homes in Guilford, Randolph and Rockingham counties share that rating.

The stars are North Carolina's own measure for adult care and family care homes. They come from DHSR's inspection findings, not from resident surveys or anything the operator submits, and CMS does not rate this kind of home at all.

The rating, its history and every posted inspection document are on DHSR's record for this home.

What did state inspectors find at Rice Family Care?

DHSR's most recent annual inspection of Rice Family Care on file is dated October 7, 2025 and resulted in no deficiencies cited.

Since 2023 DHSR has posted 2 annual or initial surveys for this home, 1 of them with no deficiencies cited, plus 0 complaint investigations. Where a result reads “Statement of Deficiency with Plan of Correction”, the document includes the operator's response, which is the part worth reading closely.

Has North Carolina fined Rice Family Care?

Not in the last three years: DHSR's 36-month penalty listing has no entry for Rice Family Care.

That covers fines only. Deficiencies that did not reach a penalty still appear in the inspection documents above, which are the better guide to day-to-day care.

Is there a memory care unit at Rice Family Care?

Rice Family Care has no special care unit on DHSR's list, so it has no licensed dementia unit; a resident whose needs come to require a secured unit would usually move to a home that has one.

Ask the administrator directly which dementia symptoms they can manage and which would lead to a discharge notice. The nearest homes with special care units are Brookdale Reidsville (8.6 mi, 24 unit beds), North Pointe of Mayodan (10.0 mi, 31 unit beds), Guilford House (20.4 mi, 32 unit beds).

If Rice Family Care is full, where else should we look?

Annie Penn Hospital in Reidsville comes next at roughly 9.4 miles. Distances are measured point to point between geocoded addresses, so drive times will be longer.

Which questions matter most at Rice Family Care?

Start with what the state's own record raises: ask how the home prepared for its October 7, 2025 survey, which came back with no deficiencies, and who led that work.

• Ask for last month's staffing schedule for nights and weekends rather than an average.
• Ask whether Rice Family Care accepts State/County Special Assistance if private funds run out, and how many residents use it now.
• Take the residency agreement home and read the fee schedule, the notice period for rate increases and the discharge terms.
