Unfamiliar with Charlotte? Highlights for seniors

Costs of nursing homes in Charlotte, NC

Senior living costs in Charlotte are largely dependent on the level of care offered in a community. You can expect communities that offer extensive medical support and round-the-clock supervision to cost more than those that don’t. When you’re weighing different senior living options for you or a loved one, it’s important to be familiar with which specific services are provided so that you can avoid paying for ones you don’t need.

Skilled nursing facilities

Skilled nursing facilities are typically the costliest type of senior care facility, as patients have access to an extensive array of on-site services, like round-the-clock medical supervision and support. The cost of skilled nursing facilities in Charlotte can range from $7,756 per month for a semi-private room to $8,608 per month for a private room, according to the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey.^[05] People who don’t need the level of skilled medical care provided in a skilled nursing home may find other senior living facilities are a better match for their needs — and possibly their budget, as well.

Cost of assisted living and memory care in Charlotte

Assisted living communities generally offer supportive personal care services for residents who need help with their activities of daily living (ADLs). Charlotte assisted living communities cost an average of $4,900 per month, according to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data on our partner communities in 2022.^[01] This reflects the total cost, which accounts for rent as well as services often included in the monthly rent rate, such as those listed below:

Housekeeping
Meals and snacks
Transportation services
Personal laundry and linen service
Parking fees
Monthly pet fees
Community activities

Some assisted living facilities also offer memory care or special care units for residents with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia. Residents in memory care units receive help with ADLs, but they also have access to additional services like specialized therapies and activities, 24-hour awake staff, and higher security measures to prevent unsafe wandering. Because of the additional care services available, memory care facilities tend to cost a bit more than assisted living at an average of $5,200 per month in Charlotte.^[01]

How people pay for a nursing home in Charlotte

Many families pay for a Charlotte nursing home using a blend of private and public funding sources. Medicare and Medicaid can be excellent resources when it comes to paying for long-term care or skilled nursing care services. There are also benefits available to help veterans and their families with long-term care costs.

Knowing what financial options may be available can help you stay a step ahead of the costs of long-term care. Explore what different private payment methods and public resources could be available to you or a loved one below.

Private pay methods in Charlotte, NC

Seniors and families often check into the private funds they may have been building up over time in a savings or retirement account to get their ideal senior living situation. Employer pensions, Social Security benefits, and investment returns are some sources of income families will utilize to pay for their ideal senior care facility.

Depending on a person’s financial means and the amount of care needed in the long run, private funds may be able to pick up the tab for the total or at least partial cost of a senior care facility. You can also look into additional options such as those listed below.

Note: You’ll want to directly check with your provider regarding long-term care insurance, as the services covered can vary on a policy-by-policy basis.

VA benefits for nursing homes in Charlotte, NC

Federal benefits provided through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) can help eligible veterans or their surviving spouses access long-term care services in settings like nursing homes and assisted living communities. Among these is the Aid and Attendance benefit, which is additional income available to disabled veterans already receiving a VA pension.

Navigating this process is often complex. It’s best to start by seeking benefit advocacy from veterans service organizations (VSOs) as you look into additional benefits, even before filling out an application. This support may be available to veterans and their families through the North Carolina Department of Military and Veteran Affairs (DMVA). The Mecklenburg County Community Support Services offices can be of assistance to veterans who need help accessing resources or getting in touch with their local veteran service officer.

Veterans will find Charlotte is chock-full of local organizations and veterans advocacy groups that can help with the time-consuming process of applying for benefits. NCServes is a local veterans organization that connects North Carolina veterans to resources throughout the state and helps veterans access benefits. Your local Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) offices can also help veterans and families apply for claims and may even help appeal denied claims.

Medicaid for nursing homes in Charlotte

Many people turn to NC Medicaid — North Carolina’s Medicaid program — to help pay for a senior care facility when their personal assets are no longer available. Some seniors may be eligible to receive long-term care services through NC Medicaid, depending on their income level and the type and extent of care needed.

NC Medicaid for nursing homes

Nursing facilities, also called skilled nursing facilities and nursing homes, can be covered by NC Medicaid when the services are considered medically necessary by a person’s physician. This means a person has to demonstrate they meet a nursing home level of care and need services that can only be provided by licensed nurses or health professionals in a skilled nursing facility. Some qualifying conditions to meet a nursing home level of care include the need for services like the following:

Respiratory therapy
Dialysis treatment
Rehabilitative therapies
Regular medication administration
At least eight hours of nursing care per day
Round-the-clock monitoring and assessment of a condition^[06]

A person must also meet financial eligibility criteria to qualify for nursing home coverage. NC Medicaid’s monthly income limits range from $1,133 for an individual to $1,526 for a couple. NC Medicaid also has resource limits that can’t exceed $2,000 for one person and $3,000 for couples.^[07]

It’s still possible to qualify if your income and resources are above these limits. You can contact the Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services to go over your income and assets and get hands-on help walking through eligibility.

NC Medicaid for assisted living and memory care

NC Medicaid generally doesn’t cover the costs of room and board or the custodial care services provided in these types of settings as it does for nursing homes. However, the state offers some in-home health care programs for seniors who need a nursing home level of care. These programs are for seniors who would rather receive services from their community — such as assisted living or memory care communities — instead of an institution like a skilled nursing facility. These programs include the following:

Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is a joint Medicare and Medicaid program that provides access to services like transportation and nursing care from a senior’s community.
Personal Care Services (PCS) benefit seniors in an adult care home or assisted living facility who need help with daily activities like eating, bathing, and getting dressed.
Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA) helps medically fragile seniors remain in their community by providing services like coordinated caregiving, adult day health, and specialized medical supplies.

To apply for NC Medicaid, you can visit the North Carolina ePass website or visit your local Department of Social Services (DSS) office. You’ll find the North Carolina Medicaid Division of Health Benefits has a wealth of resources and information on its website. Additionally, you can contact the NC Medicaid Ombudsman for Medicaid-specific questions and the local Area Agency on Aging to access other senior services in your area.

Medicare nursing home coverage in Charlotte

Some services provided in a senior care facility are covered by Medicare. This can depend on the type of Medicare coverage a person has and the setting where services are provided.

Short-term care in a nursing home or skilled nursing facility is usually covered by Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) when skilled nursing care is considered medically essential. Some Medicare-approved services provided in a skilled nursing facility include the following:

Medications
Physical, speech, and occupational therapy
Medical supplies and equipment
A semi-private room
Meals and dietary counseling^[08]

All skilled nursing home costs are usually covered for the first 20 days of a stay. A coinsurance rate of up to $200 is typically charged daily from day 21 to day 100 in a nursing home, and all costs are out of pocket from day 101 on.

Skilled nursing services must be provided in a Medicare-certified facility, and a person’s physician has to determine the need for daily skilled care from licensed health professionals. The following conditions also need to be met to receive Medicare coverage:

A person needs to have a qualifying three-day inpatient hospital stay.
A person has to be enrolled in Medicare Part A with unused days left in their benefit period.
A person needs skilled services for a medical condition that developed while receiving care in a nursing home or during the qualifying hospitalization.^[08]

While these skilled services are often covered through Medicare, most of the services provided in an assisted living or memory care facility aren’t. These types of facilities primarily offer help with activities of daily living, which isn’t usually paid for by Medicare since it’s considered custodial care. However, some of the medical costs incurred at an assisted living or memory care facility may be eligible for Medicare coverage like preventative care, medical supplies, and prescriptions.

Medicare support

Charlotte has several supportive services that seniors can turn to for help with Medicare. The Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) is available through the North Carolina Department of Insurance. SHIIP has free counseling available for seniors with questions about Medicare plans, how to apply for benefits, and where to access Medicare Savings Programs.

SHIIP volunteers also help educate seniors on how to recognize and prevent Medicare fraud through the North Carolina Senior Medicare Patrol Program (NCSMP). This educational program breaks down Medicare benefits and statements to help Charlotte seniors become masters at detecting and preventing Medicare scams.

Your local Social Security Administration can assist with enrollment and provide more information for seniors. The Medicare website also has an extensive amount of information and resources regarding eligibility, benefits, and enrollment.

Understand North Carolina laws and regulations for nursing homes

The North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation (DHSR) is in charge of licensing and overseeing senior care facilities in the state. This includes nursing homes — or skilled nursing facilities — and adult care homes that provide assisted living and memory care to residents.^[11]

The DHSR conducts regular inspections of senior care facilities to make sure the state’s laws and regulations are being followed. When you’re considering a senior care facility, it’s important to be familiar with local regulations to make sure the proper care and safety standards are being met. We run through some of DHSR’s requirements for different long-term care settings below.

Skilled nursing facility regulations

Nursing home inspections can be conducted by the DHSR at any time without warning to make sure facilities are following North Carolina’s rules and regulations for nursing homes. Inspections are usually performed annually, assuming no complaints or violations are found.

The rules for North Carolina nursing homes cover a range of topics from admission and dietary services to living spaces. We’ve highlighted some of these requirements below, but you can access all DHSR regulations on its website.

Patients have to be referred to a nursing home by a physician.
All facilities must have a Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) policy.
Medications should be administered as indicated in a patient’s medical records.
Facilities that allow pets must keep animals out of any space where food is prepared.
Facilities must provide outdoor spaces for activities that are accessible to patients of all abilities.
All bedrooms must have access to a window and provide one closet or wardrobe per bed.
Facilities must coordinate an ongoing activity program that supports the individual needs and interests of each patient.
Patients who can’t perform activities of daily living (ADLs) must receive any assistance that helps them maintain their personal hygiene or restore their ability to complete ADLs.
Physicians should see a patient at least once every 30 days for the first 90 days and a minimum of every 60 days from day 91 on.
Menus must meet patients’ dietary needs and be planned at least two weeks in advance, have nutritionally similar substitutions available, and be communicated to patients regularly.
Private, single bedrooms must have at least 100 square feet of floor area, and semi-private rooms with more than one bed must have at least 80 square feet of floor space per bed.^[09]

Assisted living and memory care regulations

Assisted living and memory care facilities are usually inspected by the DHSR annually, unless follow-up inspections are required because of complaints or violations found during an assessment. These annual inspections are also often unannounced and can last from one to several days.

Assisted living facilities have a different set of regulations than nursing homes do in North Carolina. We break down some key ones to note below, but you can also access all regulations on the DHSR page.

Facilities must prepare at least three daily meals and offer snacks between meals.
Designated staff may administer medications, but residents can self-administer if ordered by a physician and specific instructions are printed on the medication label.
All residents must have a care plan in place that’s based on residents’ initial assessment and updated as needed.
Residents must receive a pre-admission assessment within 72 hours of moving into a community, as well as an assessment within 30 days of admission and annually thereafter.
At least 14 hours of weekly group activities must be planned, with a minimum of one monthly outing for all residents.
Residents must receive an adequate amount of personal care and supervision based on their individual needs and care plan.
Facilities can’t admit a resident who needs continual skilled nursing support or has care needs that go beyond what a facility can provide.^[10]

Assisted living facilities that care for residents with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia ultimately have similar regulations in place. The following are some additional rules memory care communities have in place to account for the safety and additional care needs of memory care residents.

Memory care units must have security monitoring systems in place for any unlocked exit doors.
Residents must have a care plan developed within 30 days of admission, which is updated quarterly.
Memory care units within a wing or distinct area of an assisted living facility must be separated by closed doors.
All memory care residents must receive a pre-admission screening for cognitive impairment and have a confirmed diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia.
Memory care staff must undergo extra training that includes a six-hour orientation during their first week, 20 hours of memory care-specific training within their first six months, and an annual 12 hours of continued education.^[10]

All senior care facilities, whether a nursing home or adult care home, are required to report any suspected and confirmed incidents of resident abuse or neglect, as well as illnesses and injuries. You can also report any concerns about the care or treatment of a loved one by filing a direct complaint to the NCDHSR or by contacting your local ombudsmen office and Area Agency on Aging.

Another handy resource is your local Department of Social Services, which conducts quarterly visits to all senior care facilities and can provide current information regarding recent facility complaints. You can also search for a senior care facility on the DHSR website, which provides access to inspection reports, any penalties found within the past 36 months, and star ratings based on previous inspections. You can also look up and compare nursing homes near you using the Medicare.gov search tool.

COVID-19 regulations for Charlotte nursing homes

North Carolina rescinded the state’s COVID-19 state of emergency status in August 2022, lifting any remaining mitigation requirements or restrictions. No new regulations or mandates have been enforced since then.^[12] However, COVID-19 continues to evolve with new variants emerging across the state. You’ll want to check with your prospective community for their most current guidelines.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) continues to monitor COVID-19 cases and outbreaks in congregate living settings like nursing homes, adult care homes, and assisted living facilities. You can track outbreaks in senior care facilities throughout North Carolina on the DHHS website. These reports are updated weekly and give a county-by-county breakdown of outbreaks in different congregate living settings.

The DHHS also posts regularly updated data with information about COVID-19 cases, hospital admissions, and detected variants in North Carolina on the COVID-19 dashboard. Mecklenburg County also has a wealth of local COVID-19 data and where you can find vaccines and testing sites.

Many senior care facilities will likely base their policies on guidance from local officials, but some may have stricter rules in place when it comes to masking or social distancing. We provide an overview of some of the current county suggestions, but you’ll want to check directly with a facility or community on their COVID-19 rules beforehand.

Vaccinations. NCDHHS and Mecklenburg County officials recommend residents stay current with COVID-19 vaccines and boosters.

Masking. The county and state currently suggest those at high risk of severe illness should wear a mask in public indoor spaces.

Social distancing. Most senior care facilities continue to plan community activities, but some may have individual social distancing measures in place.

CDC guidelines. State and county officials advise residents to follow isolation guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) if they test positive for COVID-19 or are exposed to someone who has.

What to expect from nursing homes in Charlotte, NC

Charlotte is filled with charming senior living options to satisfy a variety of care needs and lifestyles. Oftentimes, senior care is grouped into one general category, but these facilities can differ considerably in the care services provided.

Recognizing the different types of care available in these communities is important to make sure your loved one’s needs can be properly met. Take a look at some of the distinctions between these different care types below.

Skilled nursing facilities

Skilled nursing facilities accommodate people who need rehabilitative care or services like round-the-clock skilled nursing and supervision. A physician’s referral is almost always required to be eligible for this type of care. Skilled nursing is usually only a short-term option for people who need to recover from an illness or injury before returning to their home or senior living community. A Place for Mom doesn’t partner with stand-alone skilled nursing facilities.

However, on-site nursing is available at nearly half of our Charlotte partner assisted living and memory care facilities, and around 5% of these partner communities have an on-site skilled nursing facility.^[01] Additionally, many of our partnered assisted living and memory care facilities have access to services like an on-call doctor; visiting speech, physical, and occupational therapists; and round-the-clock awake staff.

Assisted living facilities

Assisted living facilities with seven or more residents are called adult care homes in North Carolina. Smaller ones with six or fewer residents are called family care homes. These types of senior care facilities are intended to help seniors who struggle to complete activities of daily living (ADLs) on their own. Staff at an assisted living facility generally provide help with personal care, as well as other services like housekeeping, personal laundry, and transportation arrangements.

These communities are better suited for seniors with less complicated care needs who don’t require the continual medical support provided in a skilled nursing home. Many Charlotte assisted living facilities are set in lovely residential-like buildings, with most surrounded by beautifully maintained grounds and courtyard areas.

Several of our in-network assisted living facilities have access to five-star amenities, like on-site fitness centers, beauty salons, and chef-prepared meals. You’ll also find plenty of opportunities to socialize among other residents with engaging activities ranging from cooking clubs and wine tastings to barbecues and picnics.

Memory care

Nearly 60% of our in-network senior care facilities in Charlotte are designed to serve residents with some form of cognitive impairment.^[01] Some communities exclusively accommodate residents with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, but several assisted living facilities have special care units available for residents with varied types of cognitive impairment. Memory care facilities generally provide access to round-the-clock staff and supervision. These facilities also provide access to enhanced safety features like enclosed courtyards and security systems to prevent residents from wandering.

Memory care facilities offer specialized activity programs that help residents reduce aggressive behaviors, loneliness, and boredom. Sensory-based therapies and reminiscence programs, which are designed to help residents recall positive memories, are available at about half of our in-network memory care facilities in Charlotte.^[01] Residents in memory care also participate in similar activities as those in an assisted living community. These activities promote socialization among other memory care residents and include gardening clubs, stretching classes, and birthday parties.

Transportation for seniors in Charlotte

Complimentary transportation is provided at about 77% of our in-network senior care facilities in Charlotte.^[01] Transportation services can be especially beneficial to residents living in assisted living or memory care facilities, where the health services may not always be available on-site.

Access to these services helps seniors get to and from the places they need to go, like medical appointments or even the beauty salon, in some instances. While a car is an ideal way to get around Charlotte’s neighborhoods, the city has its own transportation system for seniors and a convenient public transit system.

Public transit in Charlotte

Charlotte’s primary public transit system is operated by the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) and is made up of bus and light rail lines. CATS has discounted fares available for seniors age 62+ and disabled individuals with a valid Transit ID or Medicare Card.

The CATS rail lines are the next best thing to a car when trying to get around Charlotte. Its LYNX Blue Line covers nearly 20 miles of the Charlotte metro, with 26 stations that provide safe and convenient access to the area’s favorite locales and diverse neighborhoods. You can also hop aboard the CityLYNX Gold Line Streetcar, which provides fare-free rides from the Historic West End to the buzzing Elizabeth neighborhood.

Many locals also utilize the CATS bus systems, which consist of over 70 routes throughout the Charlotte region.^[04] CATS meets the requirements outlined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on all of its fixed rail and bus routes, with features like lifts and ramps available on all buses and accommodations for riders with service animals.

CATS also offers a paratransit service through CATS Special Transportation Services (STS). These services offer door-to-door transportation to eligible people who can’t access CATS fixed routes because of a disability. Riders with disabilities can also receive one-on-one training to learn how to safely use CATS fixed routes with the CATS Travel Training program.

Mecklenburg County Transportation System (MTS)

The Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services (DSS) has several transportation programs for seniors available through the Mecklenburg County Transportation System (MTS). MTS helps eligible seniors get to and from medical and nonmedical destinations. Some of the MTS programs include the following:

Veterans services transportation. Qualified veterans can receive free transportation to VA hospitals in North Carolina and Charlotte medical clinics.
Senior Citizens Nutrition Congregate. This program helps seniors age 60+ access nutritious meals and social activities at Mecklenburg County Senior Citizens Nutrition locations.
Medicaid transportation. Primarily operated through CATS bus services, this program helps eligible Medicaid recipients travel to and from medical-specific destinations.
Enhanced mobility of seniors and individuals with disabilities. This service helps seniors age 65+ and disabled individuals access places like medical facilities and grocery stores.^[03]
