Questions families ask

How much does in-home caregiving cost per month in the Raleigh area?

The 2025 CareScout Cost of Care Survey puts North Carolina's statewide median for homemaker/non-medical home care services at approximately $5,720 per month, based on an hourly rate applied to a standard number of care hours. As with other CareScout figures, this is a statewide median only -- there is no published Raleigh-metro-specific home care cost figure, so actual hourly rates from Triangle-area home care agencies should be confirmed directly.

Is there a published average cost for memory care in North Carolina?

No. There is no published statewide or Raleigh-metro memory care cost median from CareScout or any other primary source -- CareScout's Cost of Care Survey covers assisted living, nursing home (semi-private and private), and home care, but does not break out a separate memory care figure. Families should not rely on any specific memory care dollar figure found online without verifying its source, and should instead request current, written memory-care rate quotes directly from individual communities.

What is VA Aid & Attendance and how much can a wartime veteran in Raleigh receive?

VA Aid & Attendance is an add-on allowance that raises a qualifying wartime veteran's VA pension rather than a separate benefit. For a veteran with no dependents, the 2025-2026 Maximum Annual Pension Rate (MAPR) with Aid & Attendance is $29,093 per year, or about $2,424 per month, effective December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026. This is a federal benefit set nationally and does not vary based on living in Raleigh or anywhere else in North Carolina.
