The Princeton market specifically

A small eastern Johnston County town near Goldsboro's edge, offering rural, low-cost living for aging residents with access to UNC Health Johnston in Smithfield.

Princeton families typically rely on Smithfield's larger senior-care market, since this small eastern Johnston County town has little licensed capacity of its own.

Visit twice, at different hours

A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.

Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.

You can check any facility's record free. NC DHSR's Regulated Facilities search shows license status; its ACLS tool shows inspection history and penalties. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

Can my father use both VA Aid & Attendance and NC Medicaid at the same time to pay for care near Raleigh?

VA Aid & Attendance is a federal pension add-on, not a North Carolina state program, and it is generally counted as income when NC Medicaid evaluates a long-term-care applicant's financial eligibility — so a veteran may receive VA Aid & Attendance and separately pursue NC Medicaid, but the VA payment itself typically factors into the Medicaid income calculation rather than being ignored or 'stacked' independently. Families should discuss the specific interaction with county DSS or a benefits counselor, since VA and Medicaid rules can interact in ways that affect eligibility for either program.

Does CAP/DA pay for home modifications like a wheelchair ramp for an elderly parent in Holly Springs?

Yes — CAP/DA is NC's Medicaid HCBS waiver for adults needing a nursing-facility level of care who wish to remain at home, and its covered services explicitly include home modifications and equipment (such as ramps, grab bars, or other accessibility changes) alongside in-home aide services, adult day health, meal preparation, respite care, and consumer-directed care options, administered through NC Medicaid with local CAP/DA case management coordinating services by county.

How much does assisted living cost in the Raleigh area in 2025?

There is no Raleigh-metro-specific figure published for assisted living costs. The most current benchmark is North Carolina's 2025 statewide CareScout Cost of Care Survey median of $6,496 per month for assisted living, which reflects a statewide blend of urban and rural markets rather than a Triangle-specific number. Families should treat this as a starting reference point and confirm actual rates directly with individual communities in Wake, Durham, Orange, Chatham, Johnston, Franklin, or Harnett counties.

What is the median cost of a nursing home in North Carolina, and does it differ for a private room?

According to the 2025 CareScout Cost of Care Survey, North Carolina's statewide median nursing home cost is $9,733 per month for a semi-private room and $10,798 per month for a private room. These are statewide medians, not Raleigh-metro-specific figures, so actual costs at individual Wake or Durham County nursing facilities may run higher or lower.
