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 a hospice provider

Ask how quickly a nurse responds after hours and on weekends, and whether that is an on-call clinician or an answering service that pages someone.
Ask what is provided in the home versus what requires an inpatient unit, and where that inpatient care would take place.
You can change hospice providers, and you can revoke hospice and return to curative treatment.

Questions families ask

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.

Do assisted living costs vary between different parts of the Triangle, like Cary versus more rural Harnett County?

Almost certainly yes in practice, but there is no published metro-specific cost breakdown to confirm exact differences -- CareScout's Cost of Care Survey reports only a single North Carolina statewide median ($6,496/month for assisted living in 2025), not figures broken out by city or county. Wake County communities in higher-cost areas like Cary or North Raleigh may charge more than communities in more rural counties such as Harnett or Franklin, but families need to request direct quotes to compare.
