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.

Mill Creek Manor

1902 Ora Drive Statesville, Nc 28625, Statesville, NC 28625
Overview of Mill Creek Manor

Mill Creek Manor sits at 1902 Ora Drive in Statesville, North Carolina. The community holds licenses for assisted living, independent living, and memory care, so a resident whose needs change can often stay at the same address instead of moving somewhere new. Walkability here is strong, scoring 81 out of 100, which puts most everyday errands within reach on foot.

The community is licensed for 80 beds and currently serves 65 residents. That works out to 81 percent occupancy, so rooms are open for families who need placement in the near term. It is a larger shared setting rather than a small home, which usually means more common space and more organized group programming.

Nursing services, rehabilitation services, and respite care are all available on site. Staffing runs around the clock, and the overnight coverage is awake staff rather than sleeping or on-call. Memory care operates within the same community, which is a practical consideration for anyone whose family member has a dementia diagnosis that will progress.

Daily life covers restaurant-style meals, social events and activities scheduled every day, and housekeeping and laundry handled by staff. There is a salon and barber service on site, an outdoor courtyard, and a TV lounge with social seating. WiFi reaches the building, and pets are permitted.
