Assisted living facility not listed on the registry?

by NicInNC

I will be starting my CNA clinicals at an assisted living facility and I was looking to see if I could find any information about the place. It's not even listed in the yellow pages of the phone book. It IS in the white pages though. I was wanting to see if there had ever been reports of abuse. Don't all homes have to be listed???

I've checked here:
http://www.memberofthefamily.net/registry/nc.htm

and here:
http://facility-services.state.nc.us/nhlist_a.pdf

The name of the place is The Salem House and it's located in Winston-Salem, NC. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

You can try speaking to an ombudsman group for that area, they should know all the facts about that facility.

I think because it is considered ASSISTED (and not labeled as a 'home' or 'LTC') it is not considered a medical facility so they get away with not being on a registry but I am not sure (differs from state to state). We all know the truth that they are and SHOULD be listed...but I think that is one of the reasons it may not be listed.

I found it on the internet at yahoo listed under Senior Services
--- The Salem House, 2560 Willard Rd, Winston Salem, NC 27107 (336)650-0699

I think "memberofthefamily" only lists nursing homes with violations ... no abuse ... no listing.

I found Salem House at - http://facility-services.state.nc.us/ > Directory of Regulated Facilities Reports of Facilities and Services (PDF) > Adult Care Home Listing > http://facility-services.state.nc.us/ahlist.pdf > page 8
--- Salem House, WRH Winston Operation LLC, PO Box 1678, Clemmons, NC 27012, (336)650-0699

and at - http://facility-services.state.nc.us/ > Regulated Facilities Listing List of Facilities and Services (ASCII Text) > Adult Care Home > http://facility-services.state.nc.us/ha.txt
--- Salem House, PO Box 1678, Clemmons, NC, 27012, Forsyth, (336)650-0699, 2560 Willard Road, Winston-Salem, NC, 27107, WRH Winston Operation, LLC, (336)650-0699


A search for the address, I found - Brookside, 336-788-1500, 2560 Willard Rd, Winston Salem, NC 27107

A search for Brookside, I found -

Perhaps the facility was formerly known as Brookside and is now known as Salem house, owned and managed by WRH ?
