Dayspring of Wallace is an 80-bed assisted living and secured living facility at 4026 S NC 11, Wallace, Duplin County, North Carolina. It provides 24-hour staffing, accepts Medicaid, and holds a 3-star state rating tied for 40th of 138 North Carolina facilities. Current occupancy is 59 percent (47 of 80 beds), below the state average of 76.4 percent. The facility offers restaurant-style dining, housekeeping, transportation, library, entertainment, outdoor common areas, therapy services, pharmacy services, and structured daily activities.
Infection control failures during acute illness and medication management gaps define DaySpring’s recent regulatory challenges. The April 24, 2025 follow-up survey found one critical deficiency: the facility failed to follow CDC recommendations and its own infection control policies during a COVID-19 outbreak. Nine residents and one staff member tested positive; four residents remained positive at the time of inspection. The facility failed to quarantine COVID-19 positive residents, notify the local health department, and ensure staff wore required PPE including masks.
This deficiency reflects fundamental infection control protocol breaches during a communicable disease outbreak.
January 2025 annual survey documented four deficiencies consolidating maintenance and medication management failures. A resident toilet clogged on January 3 and overflowed; the facility did not repair it until January 6, creating unsanitary conditions. A medication aide lacked required competency validation for Licensed Health Professional Support tasks, indicating inadequate staff onboarding oversight. The facility failed to notify the primary care provider of multiple medication refusals spanning 13 and 17 days for one resident, placing the resident at risk of unmonitored health changes.
A resident received cold pureed food instead of hot food. June 2022 annual survey documented medication administration failures when a medication aide did not perform hand hygiene before and after administering oral medications to three residents; the facility also failed to administer ten medication doses to one resident due to family refusal without physician orders to hold treatment.
Physical plant deficiencies spanning 2018 surveys included obstructed corridors, improperly maintained plumbing with algae growth, wall holes, non-functioning equipment, incomplete fire rehearsals, missing ground fault interrupters on electrical outlets in wet locations, compromised fire-resistant barriers, fire sprinkler system issues, blocked self-closing doors, corridor doors failing to resist smoke passage, and electrical hazards. October 2018 follow-up found four uncorrected deficiencies including sharp mounting brackets, improperly posted evacuation maps, electrical outlet deficiencies, and propped open self-closing doors. Over five years, DaySpring averaged 8 deficiencies annually, 54 percent above North Carolina’s 5.2-deficiency benchmark. Occupancy has declined over time.
No fines or license suspensions appear in the record.
Families should ask about corrections following the April 2025 COVID-19 infection control deficiency, medication aide competency, and protocols for notifying physicians of medication refusals.
