The Enclave

A small, upscale residential care home in Clayton (part of a multi-site eastern NC operator) capped at 6 residents, offering assisted living and dementia/Alzheimer's care.

The Enclave operates several small residential care homes across eastern North Carolina, including this Clayton location at 118 Eagle Point Lane. Per the operator's own site, each Enclave home is capped at 6 residents and offers over 3,000 square feet of senior-friendly living space, positioned as an 'upscale' alternative to larger institutional communities.

Services described include assisted living support intended to provide 'security and peace of mind for our residents and their families,' plus dementia and Alzheimer's care delivered at varying levels depending on individual need. The operator organizes its care philosophy around four elements: Physical Care, Mental Care, Social Care, and Nutritional Care.

The company's stated motto, 'We Treat Our Residents Like Family,' reflects its small-home, high-touch model. The Enclave brand also operates additional Clayton-area and Durham-area homes, with an administrative office in Raleigh, indicating an established regional family-care-home operator rather than a single-site facility.

Questions families ask

What's the difference between reporting a licensing problem and reporting resident abuse at a facility in Clayton?

A licensing problem (unsafe conditions, inadequate staffing, rule violations) is reported to DHSR's Complaint Intake Unit at 1-800-624-3004 or 919-855-4500, which can investigate and cite the facility under Chapter 131D. Suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a specific resident is reported to Johnston County's Adult Protective Services through the county Department of Social Services, since APS in NC is administered county-by-county, not through a single state hotline.

Does a Special Care Unit disclosure requirement apply to every dementia unit in the Triangle, or only some facilities?

The Special Care Unit disclosure requirement under G.S. 131D-8 applies to any licensed adult care home that operates, markets, or advertises a distinct unit or program for residents with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia (or mental health/developmental disability population); a facility that simply serves individual residents with dementia within its general population without designating a special unit is not required to file the SCU disclosure. This distinction is why some Triangle memory-care marketing language should prompt families to specifically ask whether an SCU disclosure has been filed.

Are adult care home license fees and penalties the same for a small facility in Zebulon as a large one in North Hills?

No — while both are licensed under the same single 'adult care home' category, DHSR's fee schedule and civil penalty tiers differ by bed count, generally distinguishing facilities with 9 or fewer beds from those with 10 or more. This is a difference in fee/penalty structure within one license type, not a separate license classification.
