About Nursing Home Care in Carthage
Carthage, NC, presents a limited market for nursing home care, primarily due to its single facility. The standout is Woodland Nursing Center, which, while not without concerns, remains the only option available in the area. Families should be aware that while Carthage has an average rating of 4.0 stars, this is still significantly higher than the state average of 2.8 stars. However, the lack of choices means families may need to consider facilities in nearby cities for better options.
If you're considering Woodland Nursing Center, it has a clean record with zero fines in the last three years, which is a plus. However, it's crucial to visit and assess the environment personally since the facility does not boast other standout features like a non-profit status or exceptional staffing levels. Families might want to expand their search to nearby locations such as Southern Pines or Pinehurst, where additional facilities may provide better care options.
Fortunately, there are no facilities with major red flags in Carthage, so you won't need to worry about egregious issues like abuse citations or significant fines. However, always visit in person and ask about staff turnover and resident activities. This firsthand observation can provide invaluable insight into the quality of care your loved one will receive.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing
- Quality Measures — Clinical outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalizations
- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions
- Complaints — Substantiated complaints and their severity
In Carthage, 0 facilities score a B grade or better, indicating they meet quality benchmarks across these categories. We recommend families prioritize these facilities and carefully research any facility rated C or below before visiting.
Staffing: A Significant Concern in Carthage
Staffing levels are among the most important predictors of nursing home quality. Research consistently shows that facilities with more nursing staff—especially registered nurses—have better outcomes for residents.
Carthage facilities average 0.40 RN hours per resident day, which falls below the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical Carthage resident receives approximately 24 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.
0 Carthage facilities exceed CMS staffing recommendations. Families prioritizing staffing should look for facilities with the "Top Staffing" badge and ask specifically about RN hours during facility visits.
Ownership: An All For-Profit Market
Carthage has no non-profit nursing homes—all 1 facility with reported ownership data are for-profit operations. 1 of 1 facility is chain-owned, meaning these facilities are part of larger corporate systems rather than independently operated.
Research suggests non-profit facilities often have higher staffing levels and fewer deficiencies on average. The absence of non-profit options in Carthage may be worth noting. Families seeking non-profit care should consider facilities in surrounding areas.
Ownership type alone does not guarantee quality. Several for-profit facilities in Carthage perform well. Families should evaluate each facility individually using inspection data, staffing levels, and recent deficiency reports rather than ownership type alone.
