In this video, I will explain Operating an Unlicensed vs. Licensed Residential Care Home - Beware | Residential Care Homes in NC. Operating an unlicensed senior care home in North Carolina can lead to severe consequences, including large civil and administrative penalties, license denial or revocation, and legal action. The state's Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) can impose fines, which are calculated based on the severity of the violation, with penalties for violations that result in death or serious harm being particularly high. In addition to fines, the facility can be shut down, and its owners may face other legal enforcement actions. Financial penalties Monetary fines: The state can impose significant civil penalties for violations. Higher penalties: The fines are higher for more severe violations, such as those resulting in death or serious physical harm ($500 to $10,000 for family care homes and $2,000 to $20,000 for adult care homes). Increased penalties: Penalties can be tripled if the facility has a history of similar violations within the past 12 months, according to Wake County Government. Enforcement and legal action License denial or revocation: The DHHS can deny a new license or revoke an existing one for failure to comply with state rules. Legal recovery: The Department can recover unpaid penalties through a civil action brought by the Department or the Attorney General. Other enforcement: The state can use other enforcement remedies in addition to financial penalties, such as issuing a provisional license or taking other actions to ensure compliance. Resident safety: The state has a duty to investigate and take action when the death or serious harm of a resident is reported, which includes initiating immediate investigations. Implications for residents and families Risk of harm: Unlicensed homes are not subject to the same state oversight, creating a high risk of substandard care, neglect, and abuse, according to Sokolove Law. Lack of accountability: There is a lack of accountability for the care provided in unlicensed facilities, as there are no state-mandated inspections or oversight to ensure compliance with safety and care standards. Difficulty in recourse: If a resident's rights are violated in an unlicensed home, it may be more difficult for families to seek recourse, as they are not operating under the same regulatory framework. *VISIT MY WEBSITE:* ALF|ASSIST - www.alfassist.com Alfatir Crawford - www.alfatircrawford.com Whether you're starting a side hustle or launching your dream business, this guide will help you navigate the process with confidence.
