Questions families ask

What should I ask a facility in Smithfield about its 'admission and retention' policy?

Adult care homes operate under 10A NCAC 13F rules governing which residents they may admit and continue to serve based on assessed level of care — facilities are generally required to use a state-approved assessment (commonly the FL-2 medical form completed by a physician) to determine whether a resident's needs fall within what the facility is licensed and staffed to provide, and to discharge or transfer residents whose needs exceed that scope. Ask the facility directly what level-of-care threshold would trigger a required move, since this varies by facility and by whether the resident is in a general unit or a licensed Special Care Unit.

Can I trust glowing online reviews of an assisted living facility in Durham, or should I check something official first?

Online reviews aren't part of North Carolina's regulatory oversight and can't substitute for it — the official sources are DHSR's Regulated Facilities search to confirm licensure and DHSR's ACLS Facility Inspections, Ratings and Penalties search (info.ncdhhs.gov/dhsr/acls/star/search.asp) to review actual inspection findings, corrective action history, and any penalties within the last 36 months. Reviews can supplement that picture but shouldn't replace checking the state's own compliance record.

Will NC Medicaid pay for the room-and-board cost of an assisted living community in Cary?

Not directly — North Carolina does not have a Medicaid HCBS waiver covering room and board in assisted living/adult care homes (there is no 'CAP/AL' equivalent). Instead, eligible low-income residents can receive State/County Special Assistance (SA), a state- and county-funded cash supplement toward room and board, and SA recipients automatically become eligible for Medicaid, which can then cover medical and personal care services layered on top.
