Walden House has been in operation about 10 years. It's a 56-bed facility and is owned and operated by DePaul — a private, not-for-profit organization founded in 1958.

DePaul Adult Care provides temporary and long-term residential care to adults over the age of 18 who are unable to live independently and do not require continuous medical or nursing care.

The N.C. Division of Health Service Regulation Adult Care Licensure Section conducted an inspection of Walden House on Jan. 8 year and issued the facility a three-star rating with a score of 100 and no demerits.

On Nov. 19, 2007, Walden House was fined $4,000 when the facility failed to supervise two residents who were confused and disoriented who would leave the building and cross a nearby four-lane highway.

• Assisted living residential services for seniors

• Mental health residential services

• Mental health treatment and rehabilitation services

• Addiction prevention and support programs
