No. Franklin County (where Louisburg is the county seat) is part of the Raleigh metro area but is covered by a different Ombudsman region — the Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments, at (252) 436-2050 or toll-free 1-866-506-6223 — rather than the Central Pines/Triangle J region that covers Wake, Durham, Orange, Chatham, Johnston, Lee, and Moore counties.
What this means in practice
This is a genuinely easy mistake for Franklin County families to make, since Louisburg and nearby Youngsville and Franklinton are commonly described as part of the greater Raleigh area and residents there often travel into Wake County for medical care. But North Carolina's Area Agency on Aging and Long-Term Care Ombudsman regions are drawn by county, not by metro-area convention, and Franklin County falls under the Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments (also covering Granville, Person, Vance, and Warren counties) rather than the Central Pines region that serves the rest of the Triangle. A family calling the Central Pines/Triangle J number about a Franklin Regional Medical Center-area facility would be routed to the wrong regional office; the Kerr-Tar number, (252) 436-2050 or 1-866-506-6223, is the correct contact for a Louisburg-area nursing home or adult care home complaint.
