Back to top
Assisted living in North Carolina is defined as “any group housing and services program for two or more unrelated adults, that makes available, at minimum, one meal a day and housekeeping services and provides personal care services directly or through a formal written agreement with one or more licensed home care or hospice agencies.”
Assisted living in North Carolina can be broken down into three types of residences:
- Adult care homes are for seniors who require 24-hour supervision and assistance with personal care needs. Medical care is not routinely needed but it may be provided on occasion.
- Group homes for developmentally disabled adults cater to this specific population. These group homes are licensed to house up to nine residents.
- Multi-unit assisted housing communities are made up of apartments or other residential living arrangements where special services allow seniors to maintain independence while having special needs met.

Back to top In 2012, the Medicaid eligibility requirements for North Carolina citizens were revised by the North Carolina legislature. One of these revisions established requirements of protecting the income of couples when one spouse is living at home while the other spouse is a nursing facility.There is still an issue regarding the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ approval of North Carolina’s Medicaid State Plan Amendment Application that addresses a new benefit for Medicaid-eligible seniors with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. At issue is whether assisted living communities can provide care for seniors needing memory care services. For updates related to this issue, visit the North Carolina Assisted Living Association.
