About Us

Description of Work
The Facility Compliance Consultant I (Nursing Home Surveyor) conducts regulatory inspections of nursing homes to determine compliance with state and federal requirements. The position performs routine surveys and complaint investigations, documenting findings through formal survey reports and statements of deficiency.
Work is home‑based and requires frequent onsite inspections across assigned counties, with occasional weekend, night‑shift, and overnight travel. The role functions within a compliance‑focused environment that supports consistent monitoring of long‑term care facility performance and adherence to established standards.
This is a home-based position servicing Cabarrus, Davidson, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Stanly, and Union counties region. The Nursing Home Surveyor spends an average of three days per week in nursing homes conducting inspections. Occasionally inspections are required on weekends and night shift. Although management attempts to schedule inspections within a region, the consultant needs to expect overnight stays when the nursing home is greater than 60 miles from their home-base.
Key Duties Include:
– Conduct onsite inspections of nursing homes during routine surveys and complaint investigations to assess compliance with state and federal requirements.
– Review, verify, and document facility operations and care practices through structured evaluation methods.
– Complete survey reports, including statements of deficiency and written findings related to complaint allegations.
– Apply standardized regulatory criteria during inspections to ensure consistent and accurate assessment outcomes.
– Coordinate inspection schedules across multiple counties and adjust to weekend, night‑shift, or extended‑hour needs when required.
– Conduct onsite work an average of three days per week in nursing homes within the assigned region.
– Document observations and findings promptly to support regulatory determinations and follow‑up processes.
– Communicate inspection expectations and outcomes with facility representatives to support regulatory compliance.
– Travel overnight when inspection sites exceed regional distance guidelines or scheduling requires extended presence.
