Data insights

Size and setting
Located in Raleigh, North Carolina, this facility operates 150 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 140 residents - an occupancy rate of about 93%. The facility is classified under for profit - corporation ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. With occupancy around 93%, bed usage here sits in the range typical of a stabilized facility.
Same-ownership peers
Within North Carolina, PruittHealth-Raleigh is one of 177 for profit - corporation nursing homes CMS rates. Its 3-star overall rating sits above the for profit - corporation-segment average of 2.7 stars, ahead of roughly 46% of same-ownership peers in the state.

This is a high deficiency count relative to most facilities; requesting the full survey report directly is the only way to see whether these are concentrated in one area or spread across the facility's operations.
Where these figures come from
The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
