Questions families ask

What does long-term care insurance typically cover, and should I buy it now to help pay for future care in Raleigh?

Long-term care insurance is a private insurance product that can help pay for services like assisted living, nursing home care, memory care, and in-home care once a policyholder meets the policy's benefit trigger (typically needing help with a set number of activities of daily living or having cognitive impairment). Whether to buy a policy is a personal financial decision that depends on health, age, and budget, and should be made with a licensed insurance agent or financial advisor -- this is general information, not personalized financial advice.

If my family can't afford private-pay assisted living in Wake County, what are our realistic options?

Options generally include North Carolina's State/County Special Assistance program (a state/county cash supplement for low-income adult care home residents, paired with automatic Medicaid eligibility), CAP/DA Medicaid waiver services if the person can remain safely at home, and eventually nursing facility Medicaid if a nursing-facility level of care is needed and financial limits are met. VA Aid & Attendance can also help qualifying wartime veterans and surviving spouses. Contact the Wake County Department of Human Services or an elder law attorney to determine which programs apply.

What is the NC Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program and who runs it?

The NC Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program advocates for residents of nursing homes, adult care homes, and family care homes, investigating and resolving complaints and protecting resident rights. It is run by the NC Division of Aging and Adult Services (part of NCDHHS) at the state level, with 16 regional Offices of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman housed within regional Area Agencies on Aging across the state.
