Quality ratings
CMS's most recent Care Compare release (data as of April 2026) scores Briar Creek Health Center on three sub-ratings that roll up into the overall star: health inspection, staffing, and quality measures. Each is charted against the North Carolina average below.
What each sub-rating measures

Size and setting
Located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Bed capacity and average daily census, where CMS reports them, are in Facility details below. Its ownership type, listed in Facility details, can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 50% occupancy, this facility has meaningful open capacity relative to its certified bed count.
Same-ownership peers
Within North Carolina, Briar Creek Health Center is one of 157 for profit - limited liability company nursing homes CMS rates. Its 4-star overall rating sits above the for profit - limited liability company-segment average of 2.5 stars, ahead of roughly 76% of same-ownership peers in the state. Peer comparisons within the same ownership type are more apples-to-apples than a state-wide average, since for-profit, non-profit, and government operators tend to differ systematically in staffing and reinvestment.
Inspection record

CMS has levied enforcement penalties - civil money penalties or denials of payment, during the same window. This volume of findings is worth reading past the count: CMS's F-tag scale separates isolated, low-harm citations from widespread or immediate-jeopardy ones, and only the full report shows which this facility has.
