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

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.
