Grace Village Assisted Living and Memory Care is a 78-bed assisted living and memory care community at 501 River Bend Drive, Granite Falls, Caldwell County, North Carolina, operating under active license HAL-014-017 and rated 3 out of 5 overall by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Health Service Regulation, ranking 40th (tied) among 138 homes statewide.
The regulatory record is the central placement question here, and it warrants careful attention. Four inspections conducted between April 2024 and June 2025 produced a combined 15 deficiencies, yielding 7.5 per year against a North Carolina average of 5.2, putting the facility 44 percent worse than the state benchmark. Most consequential is the November 26, 2024, complaint investigation that substantiated a Type A1 physical abuse violation: a staff member slapped a resident in the face on August 14, 2024. Multiple witness statements confirmed the incident.
The staff member was suspended, and a corrective plan was due by December 26, 2024.
Earlier that same month, a follow-up survey from August 6 through 14, 2024, produced 9 deficiencies, one of them an unabated A1 fall-supervision violation, alongside incontinence care failures, delayed health referrals for post-fall injuries, physician medication review lapses, errors in administering anti-seizure medications and insulin, staff sleeping during shifts, malfunctioning call lights, and inaccurate controlled substance records.
The April 2024 annual inspection added 3 more deficiencies covering fall supervision failures across two residents with 17 and 7 documented falls respectively, delayed notification of primary care providers following sexual assault incidents, and failure to protect a resident from sexual harassment. The most recent inspection, June 11, 2025, found 2 deficiencies: a 12 percent medication error rate and missing written profiles for 3 of 5 Special Care Unit residents.
No fines or enforcement actions appear in available records.
Beyond the regulatory record, Grace Village provides assisted living and memory care through a dedicated Special Care Unit, with rehabilitation services and short-term rehab also on-site.
The facility holds an active North Carolina license.
Granite Falls sits in western Caldwell County, roughly 60 miles northeast of Asheville, with Caldwell County Memorial Hospital serving as the primary nearby acute-care resource.
Families considering placement should ask administrators directly about corrective actions following the August 2024 abuse finding, fall supervision protocols, and current medication administration error rates.
