Adults who need help with some daily activities or medications, who are unsafe or isolated living alone, and whose medical needs do not require continuous licensed nursing.

What does assisted living cost around Greensboro?

How should a Greensboro family choose an adult care home?

Start with location near the person who will visit most, then check each candidate's DHSR star rating, inspection documents and penalties in our directory, and tour at least three homes at different times of day.

On each tour ask for the residency agreement, the rate sheet, the third-shift staffing, the most recent statement of deficiencies and what happens when needs grow or money runs low.

How are adult care homes rated in North Carolina?

DHSR rates every adult care home and family care home from zero to four stars based on its inspections, and posts the inspection documents and any recent penalties alongside the rating.

Of the 63 rated homes in the three counties, 27 hold four stars, 31 three, 3 two, 0 one and 2 none. That makes North Carolina one of the few states where families can compare assisted living homes on a state rating before visiting.

How do adult care homes in the three counties differ by county?

Guilford County holds most of the large adult care homes and nearly all special care units, while Rockingham County relies heavily on six-bed family care homes and Randolph County has a handful of mid-sized homes centered on Asheboro and Archdale.

That pattern shapes the search: a Reidsville or Eden family may find a family care home close by but drive to Greensboro or Mayodan for a special care unit, while a High Point family can usually compare several large homes within a few miles.
