SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness.

City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.
NC DHSR Star Rating (0–4 stars). Issued by North Carolina's Division of Health Service Regulation based on annual facility inspections. Stars reflect overall compliance with state health and safety rules - 4 stars requires scores of 100+ on two consecutive annual inspections. Ratings can change between inspections if new violations or licensure actions occur.
DHSR Quality Score (/200). Each annual inspection starts at a base of 100 points. Facilities earn demerit points for violations and citations, and merit points for correcting issues, maintaining resident/family councils, sprinkler systems, and other quality programs. The "/200" display reflects the two most recent annual inspections combined - giving a longer-term view of compliance trends rather than a single snapshot.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Share of inspections that resulted in deficiencies, expressed as a percentage of total inspections in the window.
Housing or bed configuration options (e.g. studio, shared), often from facility-reported amenities and licensing details.

Trinity Elms

3750 Harper Road Clemmons, Nc 27012, Clemmons, NC 27012
Overview of Trinity Elms

Trinity Elms is a 104-bed community at 3750 Harper Road in Clemmons, North Carolina. Accordius Health At Clemmons, LLC operates it. The building holds licensure for nursing home care, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing, which is a wide span for one address. A resident whose needs change does not necessarily have to move.

The surrounding area carries a Walk Score of 56, which places it in moderately walkable territory. Some errands work on foot, and some do not.

Short-term rehab and general rehabilitation services are both offered, alongside respite care for families managing a caregiving gap at home. The mix suggests a census divided between people recovering from a hospitalization and people who have settled in for longer stays.

Total nursing care runs four hours and six minutes per resident per day. Nurse aides account for two hours and 49 minutes of that, licensed practical nurses for 56 minutes, and registered nurses for 32 minutes.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted here, which covers the funding routes most families end up using. Trinity Elms is built for older adults who need skilled nursing or memory care, with enough licensure range that a change in condition does not automatically mean a change in address.
