Overview of The Drake

The Drake is a 66-bed assisted living, memory care, and secured living community at 1195 Drake Mill Lane SW, Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina,, rated 1 out of 5 overall by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Health Service Regulation, and ranked 125th (tied) among 138 homes statewide. Respite care, 24-hour staffing, and secured living are confirmed; Medicaid is accepted and Medicare is not. Current occupancy is 25 of 66 beds (38 percent), well below the North Carolina average of 76.4 percent.

A 1-star rating at rank 125 of 138 sets the frame for the inspection record, and the record holds up that assessment. Three inspections from January 2024 through October 2025 average 7.5 deficiencies per year, 44 percent above the North Carolina benchmark of 5.2.

Two of those inspections found serious clinical failures. The July 23 through 30, 2025, annual inspection and complaint investigation produced 9 deficiencies: a resident with dementia left alone in extreme heat and three residents with histories of multiple falls receiving inadequate supervision, all documented as serious neglect and physical harm; staffing hours not met on first and second shifts for 5 of 42 sampled shifts and in the Special Care Unit for 6 of 42 shifts; care plans incomplete or missing physician signatures for 5 of 9 sampled residents; a 15 percent medication error rate across 3 of 8 residents covering depression, mood, prostate, blood pressure, and thyroid medications; inaccurate medication records for 3 residents; medications not packaged with complete instructions for 2 residents on temporary leave; and failure to notify county DSS of injuries requiring emergency treatment for 4 of 7 sampled incident reports.

The October 2, 2025, complaint investigation found 5 deficiencies: a resident who eloped and was found outside attempting to re-enter without staff awareness; failure to report the elopement to county DSS (a Type A1 violation with a November 1, 2025, correction deadline); an admission care plan not signed within the required 15 days; a hospice resident on end-of-life care sent to the hospital against her documented wishes; and failure to send the DNR order and hospice records at transfer. The January 2024 annual inspection found 1 deficiency for a Special Care Unit profile not completed within 30 days of a November 2023 admission.

No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions appear in the available record.

Confirmed amenities include restaurant-style dining, housekeeping, transportation, maintenance, a library, an entertainment room, and an outdoor common area. Walk Score is 0. Concord is the county seat of Cabarrus County, roughly 20 miles northeast of Charlotte; Atrium Health Cabarrus is the primary nearby acute-care resource.

Families evaluating The Drake should ask about corrections following the July 2025 supervision and staffing deficiencies and the October 2025 elopement and end-of-life care violations.
