READ MOREAt $4,138, the monthly cost of assisted living in Rocky Mount sits between the state ($4,451) and national ($4,000) averages. This type of senior care is priced somewhat higher in other moderately sized Virginia cities, including Staunton ($4,250), Charlottesville ($4,577) and Blacksburg ($4,695). Not surprisingly, assisted living is significantly more expensive in the capital city of Richmond, where the rate is $5,049 per month. Only Harrisonburg ($4,100) and Lynchburg ($3,695) have lower monthly costs than Rocky Mount.

Costs for senior care in Rocky Mount vary dramatically depending on the type of care needed and where it’s provided. Monday-to-Friday daytime care in an adult day health services group setting average only $1,571 per month, while 24-hour skilled care in a residential nursing facility costs over five times as much at $8,030. The supervision and room and board provided in an assisted living community is almost half the cost of nursing home care, but $375 to $750 more expensive than homemaker and home health aide services. While these appear to be significant savings, they may be quickly erased when monthly household expenses are added on to the service-hours-only rates for in-home care.

Medicaid provides health care services for over 65 million low-income Americans nationwide. This jointly funded program is regulated federally and administered at the state level. The Virginia Medicaid program is managed by the Department of Medical Assistance Services and covers about 1 million of the state’s most vulnerable residents, including families with young children, expectant mothers, disabled and blind adults, and the elderly.
Rocky Mount residents aged 65 or older in need of long-term care can qualify for Medicaid coverage if they’re U.S. citizens or legal aliens and have $2,313 or less in monthly income and a maximum of $2,000 in countable assets.
Medicaid considers all sources of income when determining eligibility, including wages, pensions, Social Security and disability payments, and investment income. Most assets also count, including cash, bank account balances, retirement accounts, stocks, bonds and investment real estate. A limited number of assets are excluded, such as personal effects, one vehicle, a primary home valued at less than $585,000, household goods and irrevocable burial trusts.
Applicants with too high an income who otherwise qualify for coverage may be eligible for a spend-down. Medicaid calculates the person’s spend-down liability, and once this amount is used for specific medical bills, they receive up to six months of coverage. Allowable medical bills can include doctor, dentist and hospital bills, health insurance premiums, prescriptions and approved medical supplies.
Seniors in Rocky Mount can apply for Medical Assistance coverage online, in person at the Franklin County Department of Social Services office at 11161 Virgil H Goode Highway in Rocky Mount or by calling (855) 242-8282.
Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus Waiver
The Virginia Medicaid program only covers nursing home care as an entitlement, but it offers the Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus waiver to allow eligible seniors to stay at home or in a community care setting. The waiver serves the dual purposes of reducing the state’s expense for institutional care and providing seniors with a higher quality of life in a less restrictive environment.
Waiver services are delivered through state-approved managed care providers and cover comprehensive medical and long-term care. In addition to all the medical services normally covered by Medicaid, the range of additional services available to CCC Plus participants can include:
Virginia Auxiliary Grant
Rocky Mount residents with limited income and assets who are aged 65 or older may be eligible for a monthly benefit through the Auxiliary Grant program administered by the Virginia Department of Aging and Rehabilitative Services. Those presently living in or moving to a participating assisted living facility may qualify if they:
