If the building is ever sold, the buyer must obtain its own license, so a different license number on a later visit is a sign that ownership changed and is worth asking about.
How does the Division of Health Service Regulation rate Southfork?
The state gives Southfork 3 stars out of 4, with a rating score of 91.50; 24 of the 55 rated homes across Forsyth, Davidson, Davie, Stokes and Yadkin counties carry the same number.
Nursing homes are rated by CMS on a different, five-star scale. Comparing a three-star adult care home with a three-star nursing home tells you nothing, because the two scales measure different things.
DHSR keeps the rating history and the inspection documents on its own page for this home.
When did North Carolina last inspect Southfork?
Inspectors' most recent annual visit to Southfork on record was August 1, 2025: deficiencies cited.
| Visit date | Kind of visit | Document DHSR posted |
|---|---|---|
| 08/01/2025 | ACLS Annual | Statement of Deficiency with Plan of Correction |
| 06/13/2024 | Constr Biennial Follow-up | Statement of Deficiency |
| 11/07/2023 | Constr Biennial Follow-up | Statement of Deficiency |
| 10/07/2023 | Constr Biennial Follow-up | Statement of Deficiency with Plan of Correction |

| 04/19/2023 | ACLS Complaint | No Deficiencies Cited |
| 12/21/2022 | ACLS Annual and Follow-up | Statement of Deficiency with Plan of Correction |
The record goes back to 2015: 4 annual or initial surveys (1 with nothing cited), 1 complaint investigation and 10 visits from DHSR's construction section, which checks the building. Each statement of deficiency names the rule that was not met and what the inspector saw; the copy with a plan of correction adds the operator's promised fix and a date.
Are there DHSR penalties against Southfork?
No. Southfork is not on DHSR's list of adult care penalties from the past 36 months.
No penalty is good news but not a clean bill of health; the inspection list on this page is where routine citations show up.
Does Southfork offer memory care?
It does. DHSR's October 28, 2026 special care unit list puts 20 of Southfork's 78 beds in a unit for Alzheimer's disease and related disorders.
On top of the regular adult care rules, units follow 10A NCAC 13F .1300. In practice the questions that matter are how many staff are inside the unit at 3 a.m. and which behaviors would lead to a discharge.
Other dementia units close by: Brookdale Winston-Salem (1.8 mi, 38 unit beds), Homestead Hills Assisted Living (2.3 mi, 18 unit beds), Clemmons Village I (2.4 mi, 60 unit beds).

Which questions does Southfork's record raise?
Lead with what DHSR's documents show: ask for a copy of the August 1, 2025 statement of deficiencies and the plan of correction that answered it.
- Ask how many aides and supervisors work each shift, nights included, and what share are agency staff.
- Ask for the special care unit's disclosure statement and the number of staff posted inside the unit on each shift.
- Ask what happens when a private-pay resident's money runs out, and whether Special Assistance residents are admitted.
- Ask which charges climb as care needs climb, and get the current rate sheet on paper.
