Pembroke Center: 11 Deficiencies, No Corrections - NC
Federal inspectors cited the facility following a complaint inspection completed November 21, 2025. The violation, tagged F0658, affected some residents, according to the inspection report. CMS rated the level of harm as minimal or potential for actual harm.
The facility's own physician, interviewed by inspectors on November 17 at 1:10 in the afternoon, said there would be no adverse effects from the expired medications the residents had already received. But the physician was direct about the underlying problem: nursing staff needed to follow proper procedures and make sure expired medications never made it onto the carts in the first place.
The reason wasn't just paperwork. The inspection report notes that expired medications carry contamination risk because of their short shelf life. The physician's reassurance about this particular incident came with no guarantee the outcome would be the same next time.
The violation fell under a federal standard requiring nursing homes to provide services that meet professional standards of quality. Inspectors found Pembroke Center had not met that standard.
The facility has 27 pages of deficiency findings from this inspection. Pembroke Center is located at 310 East Wardell Drive in Pembroke, North Carolina. For information on the facility's plan to correct the expired medication violation, CMS directs the public to contact the nursing home or the North Carolina state survey agency directly.
What the physician's interview made plain is that the medications were expired, they were on the carts, and residents received them. The question of how long that had been happening before inspectors arrived is not answered in the report.
