Is Brookdale Concord Parkway licensed in North Carolina?

Yes. Brookdale Concord Parkway holds North Carolina adult care home license HAL-013-019 from the DHSR Adult Care Licensure Section and appears on the state's current licensed listing, with 112 beds at 2452 Rock Hill Church Road NW in Concord.

What star rating does North Carolina give Brookdale Concord Parkway?

Brookdale Concord Parkway's current DHSR star rating is three stars (score 97.50), issued July 23, 2026 after a annual inspection. The previous rating was also three stars.

North Carolina rates every adult care home 0-4 stars from inspection points (100 base points, plus merits for rule-exceeding performance and minus demerits for violations); four stars requires 100+ points on two consecutive annual surveys. In Cabarrus County, 1 of 9 rated adult care homes currently hold four stars. The rating is the state's — we do not rate facilities.

Has Brookdale Concord Parkway been penalized by North Carolina regulators?

No. DHSR reports no administrative penalties for Brookdale Concord Parkway in the last 36 months — the period the state publishes — and the facility's own DHSR record states it has not received any penalties in the last three years.

That is a good sign, not a guarantee. Inspection findings below the penalty threshold still appear as Statements of Deficiencies, covered in the next section. Check the current penalty listing before you sign.

Does Brookdale Concord Parkway offer memory care?

Yes. DHSR's Special Care Unit listing shows 25 of Brookdale Concord Parkway's 112 beds licensed for Alzheimer's/dementia care — a secured memory care neighborhood inside the adult care home, with the rest of the building serving assisted living residents.

North Carolina has no separate memory-care license. A Special Care Unit must add dementia-trained staff, unit staffing, a secured environment and a written disclosure statement. Ask for that statement and compare it with what the tour guide tells you. Browse all licensed Special Care Units.
