The primary purpose of the Nursing/Adult Care Homes Advisory Committee is to maintain the intent of the Nursing/Adult Care Homes Resident Bill of Rights within nursing homes and adult care homes and to promote community involvement and cooperation with such homes to ensure quality of care for older adults. The advisory committee is comprised of citizens of Pender County appointed by the Board of Commissioners in accordance with North Carolina G.S. 131D-31. The Committee consists of up to ten members, who serve one, two-, or three-year terms. Pender County does not provide funding to the nursing homes.
