In short

  • We offer only the services shown on our North Carolina license, and only in the counties we serve for each one.
  • Skilled nursing is always given by our own staff. Some other services may come from a contractor, but we stay responsible for them.
  • Describe our services only with the approved wording. Never promise a service, visit frequency or result we do not offer.
  • If we cannot meet a patient’s needs, tell the referral source and help find another agency.
  • We tell the Division of Health Service Regulation in writing at least 30 days before we add a service.
