Dahlia Gardens Center for Nursing and Rehabilitati
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Dahlia Gardens Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. With a state rank of #243 out of 417 facilities in North Carolina, they are in the bottom half, and they rank #5 out of 7 in Moore County, meaning only two local options are worse. The facility is currently improving, reducing issues from 31 in 2023 to 10 in 2024, which is a positive trend. Staffing is a strength, with a turnover rate of 0%, indicating that staff members remain long-term, though there is less RN coverage than 79% of facilities in the state, which could affect care quality. However, the facility has concerning fines totaling $62,518, which is higher than 79% of North Carolina facilities, suggesting repeated compliance problems. Specific incidents noted include a serious situation where a resident fell from a bed that was not positioned safely, resulting in a serious injury, and another case where staff failed to assess and manage hand contractures for residents, potentially leading to further harm. While there are some positive aspects, families should weigh these strengths against the significant weaknesses and past incidents before making a decision.

About This Facility
What is Dahlia Gardens Center For Nursing And Rehabilitati's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns Dahlia Gardens Center for Nursing and Rehabilitati an overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which is considered below average nationally. Within North Carolina, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Dahlia Gardens Center For Nursing And Rehabilitati Staffed?
CMS rates Dahlia Gardens Center for Nursing and Rehabilitati's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes.
What Have Inspectors Found at Dahlia Gardens Center For Nursing And Rehabilitati?
State health inspectors documented 57 deficiencies at Dahlia Gardens Center for Nursing and Rehabilitati during 2021 to 2024. These included: 2 that caused actual resident harm, 44 with potential for harm, and 11 minor or isolated issues. Deficiencies causing actual harm indicate documented cases where residents experienced negative health consequences.
Who Owns and Operates Dahlia Gardens Center For Nursing And Rehabilitati?
Dahlia Gardens Center for Nursing and Rehabilitati is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by ALLIANCE HEALTH GROUP, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 90 certified beds and approximately 86 residents (about 96% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in Aberdeen, North Carolina.
How Does Dahlia Gardens Center For Nursing And Rehabilitati Compare to Other North Carolina Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in North Carolina, Dahlia Gardens Center for Nursing and Rehabilitati's overall rating (2 stars) is below the state average of 2.8 and health inspection rating (2 stars) is below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Dahlia Gardens Center For Nursing And Rehabilitati?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.
Is Dahlia Gardens Center For Nursing And Rehabilitati Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, Dahlia Gardens Center for Nursing and Rehabilitati has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in North Carolina. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Dahlia Gardens Center For Nursing And Rehabilitati Stick Around?
Dahlia Gardens Center for Nursing and Rehabilitati has not reported staff turnover data to CMS. Staff turnover matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' individual needs, medications, and preferences. When staff frequently change, this institutional knowledge is lost. Families should ask the facility directly about their staff retention rates and average employee tenure.
Was Dahlia Gardens Center For Nursing And Rehabilitati Ever Fined?
Dahlia Gardens Center for Nursing and Rehabilitati has been fined $62,518 across 3 penalty actions. This is above the North Carolina average of $33,704. Fines in this range indicate compliance issues significant enough for CMS to impose meaningful financial consequences. Common causes include delayed correction of deficiencies, repeat violations, or care failures affecting resident safety. Families should ask facility leadership what changes have been made since these penalties.
Is Dahlia Gardens Center For Nursing And Rehabilitati on Any Federal Watch List?
Dahlia Gardens Center for Nursing and Rehabilitati is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
