Assisted Living in your area

Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. North Carolina licenses these communities as adult care homes under Chapter 131D, one license type statewide, with no acuity tiering.

Three things worth knowing first

• Ask which services are included in the base rate versus billed as a separate care level.
• Ask whether the community accepts State/County Special Assistance (NC has no assisted-living Medicaid waiver) and how many current residents use it.
• Ask what happens if your parent's needs exceed the community's admission/retention limits, since NC does not set a statewide skilled-nursing-day cap the way some states do.
