READ MOREAccording to Genworth’s 2018 Cost of Care study, the monthly average assisted living cost for Asheville is moderately higher than the national average and significantly higher than the state average of $3,693. In fact, only two cities in North Carolina have higher monthly costs: Wilmington ($5,355) and Raleigh ($5,750). While these cities have larger populations than Asheville, other similar-sized cities, such as Charlotte ($3,803) and Durham ($3,150), have significantly lower assisted living costs than Asheville.
Costs for senior care depend on location and type of care offered as well as the number of direct service hours. In Asheville, although assisted living is $300-$600 more per month than homemaker services or home health aides, the cost includes rent, upkeep, food and the necessities that typically are not part of in-home care. While nursing home costs are nearly 75% more than assisted living, they also provide the most specialized and complete spectrum of senior care.
A federal and state-funded health care program, Medicaid provides a broad spectrum of coverage, including doctor and hospital visits, home care and nursing home care, to low-income Americans of all ages. Medicaid also covers the costs associated with long-term care. North Carolina Medicaid is administered by the North Carolina Division of Health Benefits.
To be eligible for Medicaid benefits, applicants must be 65 or older, U.S. citizens and North Carolina residents. They must also have a monthly income of $1,041 or less and assets of $2,000 or less. Couples must receive no more than $1,410 in monthly income and possess $3,000 or less in assets. Income from all sources is considered, including but not limited to wages, pension payments, IRA withdrawals, alimony, SSI and SSDI payments.
Countable assets include all bank accounts, vacation homes or properties, investments, cash, cash value of life insurance, and stocks and bonds. However, some assets are considered noncountable; these include a principal residence valued at $585,000 or less (the applicant or applicant’s spouse must live in the home), personal effects and home furnishings, one automobile and burial trusts.
Seniors receiving SSI are automatically eligible for Medicaid and do not need to apply. Those who wish to learn more about North Carolina Medicaid or want to apply may do so online or by calling the North Carolina Medicaid Division of Health Benefits at (919) 885-4100.
In North Carolina, seniors who qualify for Medicaid may have long-term care needs covered through one of the two Home-Based and Community Services for the elderly: Home Health Services and Personal Care Services. Both are available to residents of assisted living facilities, and while neither covers the cost of room and board, they do offer other necessary services.
The Home Health Services can provide the following to those who qualify:
