Is there a memory care wing at New Light Community Care?
DPH's record for New Light Community Care has no Alzheimer's special care unit flag, so it has no secured dementia area; someone who begins to wander would usually need to move to a facility that has one.
Regulation 60-84 bars a CRCF from keeping a resident whom a physician considers a danger to self or others, and unsafe wandering is the usual reason that line is crossed. The closest senior CRCFs flagged for a secured unit are Wellmore of Lexington (1.8 mi), Lakeside Place Senior Living (2.9 mi), Lexington Memory Care (3.1 mi).
Does New Light Community Care have any state penalties on record?
No. None of the DPH Healthcare Quality enforcement reports for January 2025 to September 2026 names New Light Community Care.
A clear enforcement history means no recent fines or sanctions. It does not mean no citations, which only show up in the inspection report itself.
Are inspection results for New Light Community Care public?
