Cadence Mooresville

Cadence Mooresville is a North Carolina-licensed adult care home (license HAL-049-034) in Mooresville with 96 beds, 36 of them in a licensed Special Care Unit. Below is its public state record — license, star-rating history, posted inspections and penalties — plus local cost context and what to ask on a tour.

Is Cadence Mooresville licensed in North Carolina?

Yes. Cadence Mooresville holds North Carolina adult care home license HAL-049-034 from the DHSR Adult Care Licensure Section and appears on the state's current licensed listing, with 96 beds at 198 E Waterlynn Road in Mooresville. Its 96 licensed beds rank 2nd of 12 adult care homes in Iredell County by size.

The licensee of record is GAHC3 Mooresville NC TRS Sub, LLC. An adult care home is North Carolina's assisted living license: personal care, medication administration and supervision under 10A NCAC 13F — not 24-hour skilled nursing, which requires a nursing home license under 10A NCAC 13D.

What star rating does North Carolina give Cadence Mooresville?

Cadence Mooresville's current DHSR star rating is three stars (score 94.50), issued September 16, 2024 after a annual inspection. The previous rating was also three stars.

North Carolina rates every adult care home 0-4 stars from inspection points (100 base points, plus merits for rule-exceeding performance and minus demerits for violations); four stars requires 100+ points on two consecutive annual surveys. In Iredell County, 5 of 12 rated adult care homes currently hold four stars. The rating is the state's — we do not rate facilities.

Has Cadence Mooresville been penalized by North Carolina regulators?

No. DHSR reports no administrative penalties for Cadence Mooresville in the last 36 months — the period the state publishes — and the facility's own DHSR record states it has not received any penalties in the last three years.

That is a good sign, not a guarantee. Inspection findings below the penalty threshold still appear as Statements of Deficiencies, covered in the next section. Check the current penalty listing before you sign.

Does Cadence Mooresville offer memory care?

Yes. DHSR's Special Care Unit listing shows 36 of Cadence Mooresville's 96 beds licensed for Alzheimer's/dementia care — a secured memory care neighborhood inside the adult care home, with the rest of the building serving assisted living residents.

North Carolina has no separate memory-care license. A Special Care Unit must add dementia-trained staff, unit staffing, a secured environment and a written disclosure statement. Ask for that statement and compare it with what the tour guide tells you. Browse all licensed Special Care Units.
