Open Arms Retirement Center
Open Arms Retirement Center sits at 612 Health Drive in Raeford, North Carolina. The community is licensed for 90 beds and provides assisted living, memory care, and respite care. Its neighborhood scores 63 for walkability, which places it in moderate territory. Some errands work on foot from here. Most others will call for a car.
Fifty of the 90 beds are currently occupied, putting the community at 56 percent capacity. For families working against a hospital discharge date, that available room is the practical detail. It means a bed can likely be secured without a long wait.
Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants handle resident care, and staffing coverage runs 24 hours. Rehabilitation services are offered on site, which keeps therapy appointments from becoming a separate logistical problem. The memory care option matters for a specific reason: a resident whose cognitive needs grow may be able to stay put rather than move to a new building and a new set of faces.
State inspections here have focused on medication management, care planning and documentation, and housekeeping and upkeep. Those three areas govern how reliably daily care actually gets delivered.
The community fits older adults in and around Raeford who need hands-on daily support, particularly families who want assisted living and memory care available under a single roof.
