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.

Questions families ask

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.

If my mother qualifies for Special Assistance in an adult care home in Garner, does she automatically get Medicaid too?

Yes — residents approved for State/County Special Assistance are automatically eligible for Medicaid, which then covers medical costs and can cover Medicaid State Plan Personal Care Services (PCS) delivered within the licensed adult care home, layered on top of the SA-funded room-and-board payment. SA itself, however, remains a separate state/county cash program, not part of Medicaid.

How do Medicaid Personal Care Services (PCS) work for a resident in a licensed adult care home near North Hills?

Medicaid State Plan Personal Care Services can pay for hands-on personal care — help with bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, and similar activities of daily living — provided to a Medicaid-eligible resident within a licensed adult care home, but PCS does not cover the room-and-board portion of the facility's cost, which is typically covered separately by State/County Special Assistance for eligible residents. PCS hours are individually assessed based on the resident's documented need.
