Questions families ask

How much income can my mother keep at home in Chapel Hill if my father moves into a nursing facility on Medicaid?

NC's Minimum Monthly Maintenance Needs Allowance (MMMNA) rules allow a community spouse to retain between $2,643.75 and $3,948.00 per month in income before excess shelter allowance adjustments, with the institutionalized spouse's income potentially diverted to the community spouse if the community spouse's own income falls below this range. The exact figure depends on the community spouse's housing and utility costs, calculated under the MA-2270 policy manual's shelter allowance formula.

Is the PACE program available for seniors in the Durham/Triangle area?

The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is an NC Medicaid program (not a 1915(c) waiver) for adults 55+ who need nursing-home-level care but want to remain in the community, and it accepts Medicare, Medicaid, dual-eligible, private-pay, and 'PACE Medicaid' participants. As of NC Medicaid's most recent published information, there are 11 PACE organizations operating in 14 locations statewide, and Senior CommUnity Care of North Carolina is a PACE provider based in the Durham/Triangle area, though families should confirm current Triangle service areas directly through NC Medicaid's PACE contact list before assuming coverage in a specific city.

What is the Medicaid Estate Recovery Program, and will the state take my parents' house in Cary 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 the covered services. Recovery only happens after death and is deferred while a surviving spouse is alive, with additional protections for a minor or disabled child and for cases of undue hardship, and the primary residence may be exempt while a qualifying survivor lives there.
