Penalties

  • May 6, 2026 · Federal fine$17,550
  • May 5, 2025 · Federal fine$90,845
  • Feb 1, 2024 · Payment denial: Medicare and Medicaid stopped paying for new admissions from May 1, 2024 (20 days)
  • Feb 1, 2024 · Federal fine$39,812

Federal fines follow the most serious or repeated problems. A payment denial stops Medicare and Medicaid paying for new admissions — in practice, a pause on new admissions; residents already there are not affected by it.

What it costs

NC Medicaid paid this home $306.50 a day (about $9,318 a month) for a resident on Medicaid, effective Jan 1, 2024 — the newest rate NC Medicaid has published. The typical nursing home near Charlotte was paid $322.34 a day.

This is what Medicaid pays, not what the home charges.

No public record lists private-pay prices or whether a bed is free today. Call the home and ask about both.

Who owns and runs it

Operator group (as Medicare groups it): CCH Healthcare, 33 homes nationally, averaging 2.7 stars.

Direct owners on Medicare's records: Bync Holdings LLC (100%).

North Carolina licence holder: Greens at Gastonia LLC.

Same chain nearby: Pineville Rehabilitation and Living Center, The Greens at Cabarrus.

What you can do

Questions to ask on a tour, from this record

  1. Inspectors found residents were harmed on Jun 25, 2026 (Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights). What changed afterwards, and who is responsible for it now?
  2. The home was penalised on May 6, 2026. What was the problem, and is it fixed?
  3. Many nursing staff leave each year here. How long have the director of nursing and the administrator been in post?
  4. May I see your most recent inspection report? (Nursing homes must keep it where residents and visitors can read it.)
  5. How many residents does each nurse aide care for on day, evening and night shifts?

If your family member already lives here

A record like this is a reason to watch closely and ask questions, not necessarily to move — moving a frail person carries risks of its own. Raise concerns with the director of nursing first, in writing if serious. If that doesn't resolve them, call the free Long-Term Care Ombudsman (Centralina, (800) 508-5777) or file a complaint with the state (NC DHSR, 1-800-624-3004, weekdays). If someone is in danger now, call 911.
