In the first quarter of 2026, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) data showed Homestead Hills in Forsyth County was under the ownership of Senior Living Commuities, LLC. The company has held ownership of the nursing home since April 19, 1996.

The facility operates on a for-profit basis.

During this period, Homestead Hills held a five-star overall CMS rating, which surpassed the North Carolina state nursing home average of 2.9. CMS ratings assess facilities based on critical criteria such as results from health inspections, staffing figures, and resident care quality.

Homestead Hills served an average of 31.5 residents each day during the first quarter of 2026, offering 40 available beds. The facility is not affiliated with a hospital.

The nursing home recorded no fines or penalties as of the first quarter of 2026.

Forsyth County had eight for-profit nursing homes in total.

Data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates that the country’s older population is rising as younger age segments decline. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and over grew by 13%, while those younger than 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the past century, the U.S. older adult population expanded significantly, increasing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.

A 2021 report found that as many as half of adults ages 65 and older—approximately 28 million people—could need long-term care services and supports, with more than a third anticipated to require nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
