Intermediate Care.
II. ADULT CARE HOMES. These are not nursing homes and do not provide professional
nursing or medical care. These are for people who need only occasional or incidental medical
services such as they might receive in their own home. There are no requirements for physician
visits.
These homes provide room, board, personal assistance, supervision of medications and social
activities. Private rates vary from home to home and are not regulated by the state. The rate for
persons who receive State/County Special Assistance is regulated by the State.
Only those homes in compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are listed. The administrators
of these homes have signed a statement that they will comply with the Civil Rights Act of
1964. This means they will not refuse admission, discharge a resident, or in any other way
discriminate against a resident on the basis of race, color, or national origin.
Due to State building code requirements, some homes may not admit persons who cannot get out
of the home without help in a reasonable amount of time in an emergency such as a fire. Refer
to the following list for particulars. Most facilities are licensed for Ambulatory Only unless
otherwise specified.
Any complaint regarding these homes should be made to the Adult Care Unit, Alamance County
Department of Social Services, (336) 229-3141.

House Bill 387, ratified by the 2001 General Assembly, became effective June 15, 2001. As a
result of this legislation, group homes for developmentally disabled adults formerly licensed
under G.S. 131D-2 are now licensed and regulated as supervised living facilities for
developmentally disabled adults under G.S. 122C-3. All licensing and other regulatory activity
for these homes, including monitoring, compliant investigations and negative actions, takes place
through the Mental Health Licensure and Certification Section of the Division of Health Service
Regulation. The DDA homes that were licensed under G.S. 131D-2 converted to licensure under
G.S. 122C. This means that the Adult Care Licensure Section of the Division of Health Service
Regulation and adult home specialists in the county departments of social services no longer
have responsibility for any licensure or regulatory activity involving these homes. County
involvement through adult protective services will continue as usual.
Any applicants for a DDA group home license should be referred to the Mental Health Licensure
and Certification Section of the Division of Health Service Regulation at 919-855-
3795. Complaints against any of the DDA homes which were subject to 131D licensure should
be referred to that section at 1-800-624-3004.
III. ADULT DAY CARE FACILITIES. These facilities provide an organized program of
services and activities with staff supervision during the day (usually Monday through Friday,
7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.) in a community group setting for the purpose of supporting adults
personal independence and promoting their social, physical and emotional well-being. When
there is a need for transportation, the provider will assist in coordinating with Alamance County
Transportation Authority (ACTA) for an additional charge to the participant. Only facilities
certified by the N. C. Division of Aging and Adult Services and in compliance with the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 are listed here. The daily rate for services is $27.00. Monthly fees are based
on the number of days per week in which a participant is enrolled.
IV. The Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is a national model for a capitated
managed care program for the frail elderly. The PACE model is regulated by the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid. PACE combines Medicaid and Medicare funding to serve persons who
meet the nursing facility level of care. This center is currently one of two operating in North
Carolina. The overall goal is to manage all the health and medical needs of this frail population
to keep them out of the hospital or a nursing facility for as long as possible.
