What should we ask Homestead Hills before admission?
The CMS record gives you the first question: ask to see the plan of correction for the 7 deficiencies from July 1, 2026 and what has changed since.
- Nursing turnover of 55.1% is higher than the local median; ask how many shifts agency nurses fill.
- Ask what caused the $27,378 in federal fines and how the problem was fixed.
- With beds about 76% full, ask which halls have openings and why.
- CMS shows a resident council here; ask when it meets and whether family members can come.
- If NC Medicaid may be needed later, confirm Homestead Hills takes it for long-term residents and how the switch from private pay works.
