Overview of Morning Star Special Care Unit

Facebook X (Twitter) Instagram LinkedIn

Morning Star Special Care Unit is an assisted living home in Fayetteville, North Carolina, at 3017 Dunn Road on the city’s southeast side. The area is car-dependent. Residents and the family who visit them will want a vehicle for errands and appointments.

The home has 44 beds and runs at about three-quarters full, with 33 people living there. It stays small by design, and the resident count reflects that.

Staff are on-site at all hours. Residents can also use telehealth, which brings some medical visits to them instead of sending them out to an office.

North Carolina inspectors review homes like this one on a regular basis. Their work here has covered fire-safety systems, staffing and staff credentials, dietary and food service, and resident rights and protections.
