How North Carolina regulates this provider

Adult care homes -- the license category covering assisted living and memory care in NC -- are licensed under N.C.G.S. Chapter 131D and 10A NCAC 13F by the Division of Health Service Regulation. A community marketing secured memory care must additionally hold an approved Special Care Unit disclosure under G.S. 131D-8. Nursing homes are licensed separately and carry the federal CMS Five-Star rating that adult care homes do not receive. Inspection history for any NC-licensed facility is free to pull from DHSR's Regulated Facilities search and, for adult care homes specifically, the ACLS Inspections, Ratings and Penalties tool.

Evaluating an assisted living community

Ask which services are included in the base rate and which are billed as a separate care level, and get the current assessment in writing.
Ask whether the community accepts State/County Special Assistance (North Carolina has no assisted-living Medicaid waiver) and how many current residents rely on it.
Ask what happens if your parent's needs exceed the community's admission/retention limits, since North Carolina does not set a statewide skilled-nursing-day cap for adult care homes.

Questions families ask

What VA Aid & Attendance rate applies to a surviving spouse of a veteran?

A surviving spouse with no dependent children who qualifies for Aid & Attendance under the VA Survivors Pension program can receive a Maximum Annual Pension Rate (MAPR) of $18,697 per year, or about $1,558 per month, effective December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026. This rate is lower than the veteran's own Aid & Attendance rate and is subject to the same net worth and income limits.

What is the net worth limit for VA pension and Aid & Attendance eligibility?

As of December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026, the VA's combined net worth and annual income limit for pension eligibility (including Aid & Attendance) is $163,699. This figure combines countable assets and annual income and is used to determine whether a veteran or surviving spouse qualifies for the underlying VA Improved Pension before any Aid & Attendance add-on is calculated.

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.
