READ MOREThe Genworth 2018 Cost of Care study suggests that the average monthly cost of assisted living in Moore County is lower than in most larger cities in North Carolina. At $3,100 per month, the cost of assisted living in Moore County is below the state ($3,693) and the national ($4,000) averages. Seniors considering assisted living in Raleigh, the state capital, may find that the Moore County area is a more affordable, as the cost is over $2,500 less per month. Those who are looking for an even less expensive choice can consider assisted living in Burlington, where the average cost is $2,800 per month, or in Goldsboro at $2,750 per month.
Note: Specific senior care cost data isn’t available for Moore County. Data for the closest major city in the state, Fayetteville, has been used instead.
The cost of senior care generally depends on the type of care needed. In Moore County, this is particularly evident when comparing the cost of nursing home care with the cost of assisted living ($3,100). At $6,144 per month, nursing home costs are nearly double that of assisted living in the state. While the cost of homemaker services in the area is much closer to the cost of assisted living, a home health aid is over $1,000 more, and when considering the additional expenses of a home’s upkeep, such as rent, food and utilities, assisted living becomes a more affordable option.

North Carolina’s Medicaid program serves low-income clientele, including senior citizens, families with children, disabled persons and pregnant women. It covers the cost of several health care services and other health care related expenses, including routine care, medical treatments, hospitalization, medical equipment and prescription medications. In North Carolina, the standard state plan also covers the cost of care provided in a nursing home.
While the state plan doesn’t provide assistance with the cost of assisted living, seniors may be able to access care under the Personal Care Services program, which is a Medicaid waiver that provides hands-on personal care services to seniors who either reside in their own home or in a licensed assisted living facility. To qualify for this program, an individual must have a medical condition, be cognitively impaired or disabled and require daily assistance with activities of daily living, such as mobility, dressing, bathing, toilet use and eating.
Financially, to qualify for the state Medicaid plan or the Personal Care Services program, single applicants may not have an income that exceeds $1,041 per month, while couples may not exceed $1,410 per month. Asset limitations stipulate that single applicants may not own more than $2,000 in countable assets and couples $3,000. Exempt assets include the applicant’s house, household furnishings, personal belongings and a single vehicle. In North Carolina, a spend-down program exists to allow seniors who don’t meet income requirements to exclude the cost of medical bills from their monthly income.
Seniors can apply for Medicaid programs in North Carolina online or by calling (888) 245-0179.
Special Assistance Program for Adult Care Home Residents
This program pays the cost of room and board for seniors who reside in assisted living facilities and other care homes. In some cases, the full cost may be covered but for those with some disposable income, assistance is determined on a sliding scale. The maximum benefit provided by this program is $1,228 per month.
To be eligible for this program, seniors must be 65 years of age, have a medically documented need for supportive care and be financially eligible to receive Medicaid funding.
To apply, seniors can contact the Department of Social Services at (910) 947-2436 or in person at 1036 Carriage Oaks Drive in Carthage, North Carolina.
Optional State Supplement
In North Carolina, seniors who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may be eligible to receive up to $887 per month via the Optional State Supplement program. This benefit exists to provide additional cash funding to low-income seniors aged 65 or older and disabled persons who receive long-term care. By providing this supplement, the state intends to assist these individuals with costs that aren’t covered by Medicaid, such as room and board.
In order to be eligible for this benefit, seniors must receive SSI and meet the same income requirements that are in place for the state’s Medicaid program. To apply, seniors can contact the Department of Social Services at (910) 947-2436 or in person at 1036 Carriage Oaks Drive in Carthage, North Carolina.
Senior centers exist to provide elderly people with a gathering place to build relationships with their peers, while partaking in a variety of activities and programs, which may include congregate meals, social outings, seminars and fitness classes.
