Durham County, NC has 13 facilities certified by Medicare or Medicaid, as of the CMS penalty file published October 1, 2026. CMS publishes what it fined them, when it stopped paying for new admissions, how many nursing hours they staffed, and what its inspectors wrote up. These are those records counted. A penalty is an enforcement action on a date, not a verdict on the care a resident receives today.

These figures cover nursing homes only. CMS keeps these penalty, staffing and inspection records for Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing homes. Assisted living, memory care and home care agencies are licensed by each state under different rules, so their records are not comparable.
Each share above shows how many facilities it is based on. Where there are too few for a percentage to mean much, we show the count instead. More in our methodology.
