Medicaid is a government-sponsored health insurance program that provides health care coverage for eligible low-income Americans. Elderly adults, pregnant women, children, people with disabilities and other groups may be eligible for Medicaid coverage. <a href="https://medicaid.ncdhhs.gov/medicaid/get-started/apply-medicaid-or-health-choice/medicaid-services" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">North Carolina Medicaid</a> covers an assortment of medically necessary services, such as doctor visits, hospital visits, outpatient therapy, nursing home care and home health services. It may also cover Medicare recipients&rsquo; deductibles, co-payments and premiums. 
 
Seniors who live in Cary may be eligible for North Carolina Medicaid if they meet the program&rsquo;s <a href="https://medicaid.ncdhhs.gov/medicaid/get-started/learn-if-you-are-eligible-medicaid-or-health-choice/medicaid-income-and" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">financial requirements</a>.

Resources, which include cash, retirement accounts and stocks, are limited to $2,000 for single seniors and $3,000 for couples.&nbsp;

ADLs include bathing, dressing, eating, mobility and toileting. 
 
To qualify for assistance through this program, seniors must have a disability or medical condition. They must also need at least limited hands-on assistance with three ADLs.
