How does the Division of Health Service Regulation rate Trinity Elms?
Trinity Elms is rated 3 stars of a possible 4 by DHSR (score 101.00), a rating shared by 24 of the 55 rated homes across Forsyth, Davidson, Davie, Stokes and Yadkin counties.
Treat the rating as a summary of recent survey results rather than a verdict. One survey with serious findings can cost a star, and a clean follow-up can earn it back within a rating cycle.
DHSR keeps the rating history and the inspection documents on its own page for this home.
What is in Trinity Elms's state inspection file?
Trinity Elms's last posted annual inspection, dated March 4, 2026, ended with deficiencies cited.
| Visit date | Kind of visit | Document DHSR posted |
|---|---|---|
| 03/04/2026 | ACLS Annual | Statement of Deficiency with Plan of Correction |
| 08/29/2024 | ACLS Annual and Follow-up | Statement of Deficiency with Plan of Correction |

The record goes back to 2016: 4 annual or initial surveys (1 with nothing cited), 0 complaint investigations and 7 visits from DHSR's construction section, which checks the building. Some visits are made by the county's adult home specialists rather than state staff; North Carolina splits monitoring that way, and both appear in DHSR's file.
Does Trinity Elms appear on North Carolina's adult care penalty list?
No. Trinity Elms is not on DHSR's list of adult care penalties from the past 36 months.
The penalty list covers Type A1 and A2 fines. Day-to-day problems that never reached that level are in the survey documents, which are the better picture of ordinary care.
How many dementia unit beds are at Trinity Elms?
It does. DHSR's October 28, 2026 special care unit list puts 30 of Trinity Elms's 104 beds in a unit for Alzheimer's disease and related disorders.
If money may run short, ask how many unit beds take State/County Special Assistance, which pays its higher Enhanced Rate inside a special care unit.

Which questions does Trinity Elms's record raise?
Lead with what DHSR's documents show: ask for a copy of the March 4, 2026 statement of deficiencies and the plan of correction that answered it.
- Ask who is awake on site from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. and how long a call light usually waits at night.
- 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.
- Read the residency agreement at home first: fees, the notice required before a rate increase, and discharge terms.
