Financial Penalties and Violations
The investigators for the state of North Carolina and federal nursing home regulatory agencies have the legal responsibility of penalizing any facility that has violated rules and regulations that harmed or could have harmed a resident. These penalties often include monetary fines and denying payment of Medicare services. Typically, the higher the penalty, the more egregious the problem.
Medicare has cited this facility for abuse . Medicare says that “every nursing home resident deserves to retain their basic human dignity and be treated with respect at all times. Abuse and neglect are never acceptable.” Nursing homes “cited for abuse are required to take steps to protect their residents.”
Within the last three years, federal investigators imposed a monetary fine against Mecklenburg Health and Rehabilitation Center for $20,770 on May 25, 2018, citing substandard care. The nursing home received nine complaints over the last three years that resulted in a violation citation.

The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to lock all medications and biologicals, including treatment items. The facility had residents with severe cognitive impairment who had access to these items.”
In one incident, the surveyors observed: “the central supply medication storage room on the main hallway [that] was unlocked.” A nonverbal resident “was seated in front of the unlocked door. The resident was observed self-propelling down the hallway, attempting to open the bathroom and activity room doors, which were in close proximity to the central supply room door where medications, sharps, and treatment items were stored.”
The nursing facility “failed to follow safe practices for disinfecting a shared glucometer and performing hand washing during a medication pass.” Specifically, “the facility failed to use a blood glucose test strip safely by placing the test strip in a scrub top pocket containing clean and dirty supplies.” The failed practices, involving Physician ordered blood glucose monitoring, “had the potential to expose the residents to the risk of cross-contamination of blood-borne pathogens.”
The survey team initiated an Immediate Jeopardy situation during a medication pass, stating that the sterile environment was “co-mingled with clean and dirty supplies that included a nebulizer treatment that would later be administered to [a resident].”
