Adult Care Home and Family Care Home Rules
These two rules outline the standards for how the star rating is calculated for North Carolina’s adult care home (13F .1604) and family care home (13G .1604) facilities pursuant to the N.C. Star Rated Certificate Program. These rules were approved for readoption by the Rules Review Commission on January 30, 2025, to become effective August 1, 2025. After approval of the rules, an error was identified in each of these rules whereby the incorrect general statute was referenced for specific situations in which a facility with suspended admissions would not receive any demerit points or merit points. The proposed changes will correct the error, thereby clarifying the circumstances for which demerit and merit points will or will not be imposed. The changes will revert this portion of the rule back to the original language.
