Questions families ask

I'm exhausted from caring for my husband with Parkinson's in Durham — what respite options exist before I burn out completely?

Adult day programs in the Durham area provide structured daytime supervision so you can work, rest, or run errands, and the Central Pines/Triangle J Area Agency on Aging (1-800-310-9777) maintains referral information on local options. If your husband qualifies for the CAP/DA Medicaid waiver, respite care is one of its covered in-home services, allowing a paid aide to step in for scheduled breaks. Short-term respite stays at licensed adult care homes are another option for a multi-day break; ask Duke Health's care coordination team or the Area Agency on Aging for current openings.

I live in Seattle and my mother lives alone in Raleigh — how do I manage her care from across the country?

Start by identifying a local point of contact: a geriatric care manager, a trusted neighbor, or a home-care agency that can do in-person check-ins, since phone calls alone won't reveal safety issues at home. Contact the Central Pines/Triangle J Area Agency on Aging (1-800-310-9777) for free options counseling covering Wake County, and ask your mother's primary care provider (WakeMed, UNC REX, or Duke-affiliated practices all offer patient portals) whether you can be added as an authorized contact so you can join telehealth visits remotely. Establishing power of attorney for healthcare and finances now, while she's able to sign, will make it far easier to act quickly if a crisis happens.

My father's savings are almost gone after 18 months in an adult care home near Raleigh — what happens next?

Before his funds run out entirely, apply for North Carolina's State/County Special Assistance (SA) program through Wake County DSS, which is a state- and county-funded cash supplement (not a Medicaid waiver) that helps pay room-and-board costs for eligible low-income adult care home residents. SA recipients are automatically eligible for Medicaid, which then covers his personal care and medical needs. Start the application at least a month or two before his assets are projected to hit the $2,000 asset limit, since processing takes time and a gap in payment can jeopardize his placement.
