- Ask what caused the $122,460 in federal fines and how the problem was fixed.
- With beds about 97% full, ask about the waiting list and how short-term rehab beds are held open.
- CMS shows a resident council here; ask when it meets and whether family members can come.
- If NC Medicaid may be needed later, confirm Pine Acres Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation takes it for long-term residents and how the switch from private pay works.
