Questions families ask

Does North Carolina Medicaid have a waiver that pays for assisted living room and board?

No. North Carolina does not have a Medicaid HCBS waiver dedicated to covering assisted living or adult care home room and board. Instead, low-income adult care home residents may qualify for the State/County Special Assistance (SA) program, a state- and county-funded cash supplement (not a Medicaid waiver) that helps pay for room and board, with SA recipients also automatically becoming eligible for Medicaid to cover medical and personal care costs.

What is CAP/DA and how can it help pay for in-home care in Wake County?

The Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA) is North Carolina's Medicaid home- and community-based services waiver for adults 18+ who need a nursing-facility level of care but want to remain at home. It covers 18 in-home and community-based services including in-home aide services, home modifications, adult day health, respite care, and consumer-directed care, but it does not pay room and board since it serves people in their own homes, not facilities.

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.
