The Zebulon market specifically

Eastern Wake County's edge town near the Franklin/Nash County lines, with a small-town feel and growing new-construction senior housing; residents typically travel toward Raleigh or Wilson for major hospital care.

Zebulon is one of the few eastern Wake towns with a Medicaid-accepting assisted living and memory care option locally, which matters for families who would otherwise have to travel toward Raleigh or Wilson.

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 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.

What are the income and asset limits for nursing home Medicaid in North Carolina in 2026?

For 2026, North Carolina's aged/blind/disabled Medicaid resource limit is $2,000 for an individual and $3,000 for a couple. The nursing facility Medicaid income cap is generally derived as 300% of the SSI federal benefit rate, and nursing facility residents must apply nearly all monthly income toward their cost of care, retaining only a $70/month personal needs allowance.

What is the NC Medicaid Estate Recovery Program and will it take my parent's house after they pass away?

North Carolina's Medicaid Estate Recovery Program (MERP) allows the state to seek reimbursement from a deceased Medicaid recipient's probate estate for nursing facility, home- and community-based waiver, and related hospital/prescription costs paid on their behalf, generally for recipients who were 55 or older when they received those services. Recovery only begins after death, is generally deferred while a surviving spouse is alive, and includes protections for a minor or disabled child and for cases of undue hardship.
