What the contract does that the tour does not

The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable.

Ask for a blank copy to take home before you are asked to sign anything.

You can check any facility's record free. NC DHSR's Regulated Facilities search shows license status; its ACLS tool shows inspection history and penalties. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

Does Medicare pay for assisted living or long-term nursing home care in North Carolina?

No. Medicare does not cover the room-and-board cost of assisted living or long-term custodial nursing home stays anywhere, including North Carolina. Medicare Part A will cover a short-term skilled nursing facility stay (up to 100 days per benefit period, with a copay after day 20) only after a qualifying inpatient hospital stay and only for skilled rehabilitative care, not ongoing custodial or assisted living care.

Does North Carolina Medicaid have a waiver that pays for assisted living room and board?

No. North Carolina does not have a Medicaid HCBS waiver dedicated to covering assisted living or adult care home room and board. Instead, low-income adult care home residents may qualify for the State/County Special Assistance (SA) program, a state- and county-funded cash supplement (not a Medicaid waiver) that helps pay for room and board, with SA recipients also automatically becoming eligible for Medicaid to cover medical and personal care costs.

What is CAP/DA and how can it help pay for in-home care in Wake County?

The Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA) is North Carolina's Medicaid home- and community-based services waiver for adults 18+ who need a nursing-facility level of care but want to remain at home. It covers 18 in-home and community-based services including in-home aide services, home modifications, adult day health, respite care, and consumer-directed care, but it does not pay room and board since it serves people in their own homes, not facilities.
