Questions families ask

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.

My wife is in assisted living in Cary but her dementia has progressed — does she need to move to memory care?

If she's showing signs like wandering, exit-seeking, or needing more supervision than the general assisted living staff can safely provide, ask the facility directly whether they have a licensed Special Care Unit (SCU) on-site or whether a transfer to a memory-care-designated community is recommended. In North Carolina, a Special Care Unit is a distinct designation added to a facility's adult care home license, requiring a specific state-approved disclosure statement about staffing, programming, and physical safety features — ask to see that disclosure before deciding. If you're the community spouse and finances are a concern, know that Medicaid rules protect a minimum monthly income allowance for you even if she eventually needs Medicaid-covered nursing facility care.

How do we compare two assisted living communities in Cary and Wake Forest before deciding for my aunt?

Look up both communities' inspection history and any penalties on NC DHSR's Adult Care Home Facility Inspections, Ratings and Penalties search tool before touring, since this state-specific rating reflects actual compliance history rather than marketing claims. During tours, ask each facility directly about staff-to-resident ratios at night, whether they hold a Special Care Unit license if memory care might be needed later, and what triggers a rate increase or involuntary discharge. Compare total monthly cost including any levels-of-care add-ons, not just the advertised base rate, since Cary and Wake Forest communities can price these very differently.
