Verified assisted living in Selma

Nothing verified in Selma yet. There is no verified assisted living provider based in Selma itself.

We only list providers we have confirmed against their own published information, so this list is shorter than the aggregator directories — and more reliable.

The Selma market specifically

A small railroad town adjacent to Smithfield with historic downtown housing stock; residents rely on nearby UNC Health Johnston facilities for hospital-level care.

Selma families most often rely on Smithfield's larger senior-care market a few miles away, since Selma itself has limited licensed capacity.

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

Did North Carolina's 2023 Medicaid expansion change anything about nursing home coverage for my father in Durham?

No — North Carolina's ACA Medicaid expansion, effective December 1, 2023, created a separate eligibility pathway covering low-income adults ages 19–64 generally, and it did not change the eligibility rules, income limits, or asset limits for long-term-care Medicaid (the aged/blind/disabled category covering nursing facility and waiver services). Nursing facility Medicaid eligibility continues to run through its own, generally lower, income and asset tests.

What are the asset limits to qualify for nursing facility Medicaid in North Carolina in 2026?

For 2026, the NC DHHS Aged/Blind/Disabled resource limit for nursing facility Medicaid is $2,000 for a single applicant and $3,000 for a married couple where both spouses need coverage, per NC DHHS's Basic Medicaid Eligibility Requirements. These limits are far lower than the ACA expansion Medicaid category's rules and apply specifically to the long-term-care eligibility pathway.

What's the income limit to qualify for nursing home Medicaid in North Carolina?

NC's general nursing facility Medicaid income cap is approximately $2,982/month, derived by applying the standard rule of 300% of the 2026 SSI federal benefit rate ($994/month) used in NC's aged/blind/disabled long-term-care Medicaid category. This is a derived estimate based on the SSA-published 2026 SSI rate rather than a figure independently confirmed in the current MA-2270 policy manual excerpt, so families should verify the exact current figure with NC Medicaid or a county DSS caseworker before relying on it for planning.

How much money can a nursing home Medicaid resident in North Carolina keep for personal expenses each month?

NC's nursing facility Medicaid Personal Needs Allowance (PNA) is $70 per month for an institutionalized individual, or up to $140/month combined for a married couple sharing a room in the same facility. Nursing facility Medicaid residents generally must apply nearly all of their remaining monthly income toward the cost of care beyond this allowance, per the NC DHHS MA-2270 policy manual.
