When it comes to paying for assisted living in Charlotte, seniors and their families have a variety of options to choose from. In some circumstances, families can source from their private and public funds to pay for the costs of assisted living in Charlotte.
You’ll learn about the options seniors or their families might have on hand to cover costs of assisted living. We also outline several public resources, such as Medicaid, Medicare, and VA benefits, that may be available to help you pay for care services.
To get their ideal assisted living environment, seniors or their families typically dip into their personal funds to pay. This can be savings built up over the years, retirement, pensions, and any income or assets the senior has available.
It’s also worth noting that some forms of income are taxed differently in North Carolina. While Social Security income isn’t taxed in the “Tar Heel State,” other forms of retirement income are taxed at the state’s 4.99% income tax rate (as of 2022):
- Pensions
- IRA/401k withdrawals[02]
Depending on the cost of care needs over time and an individual’s financial situation and assets, the private pay methods below could fully fund the costs of an assisted living facility in Charlotte. Seniors and families might want to consider all possible ways to fund their ideal senior living situation.
Note that long-term care insurance policies can differ in what services are covered. You’ll want to check directly with your provider to see what services are covered. The same goes for life insurance. You may be able to sell or surrender your life insurance policy, but you need to consult with your insurance provider directly first to see what’s possible.
Qualified veterans and their spouses in Charlotte may be able to pay for assisted living costs with federal benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), like the pension and the Aid and Attendance benefit. The North Carolina Department of Military and Veteran Affairs (DMVA) and other local resources may help residents attain these benefits.
It can be a lengthy and complicated process to find and apply for VA benefits. Before beginning your application, get connected with a veterans service officer (VSO) who can help you maximize your benefits and help ensure your application is accepted. Some local organizations within Charlotte can also provide assistance with VA benefits and claims. You can also contact the Mecklenburg County Community Support Services office for help with getting access to veterans services and to get in touch with your local VSO.
Nonprofit veterans advocacy groups, like Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), can help veterans file for benefit claims. Another resource is NCServes, which can help provide benefit navigation and connect North Carolina veterans and families to local resources across the state.

About 22% of Charlotte veterans are age 75 and older, per the U.S. Census Bureau.

NC Medicaid is North Carolina’s Medicaid program, which can’t be used to pay for the room and board costs in assisted living facilities. However, some services may be covered through the home- and community-based service programs offered through NC Medicaid’s Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS).
LTSS is intended to help provide support to older adults and people with disabilities. Eligible recipients have access to a variety of care services that help them live more independently, which can be provided in a community setting like an assisted living facility. Find out more about the services provided and eligibility requirements for LTSS below.
Personal care services
Eligible Medicaid beneficiaries can receive personal care services (PCS) in a residential facility, such as an assisted living community. These services provide help to individuals who need help with activities of daily living and struggle to do the following independently:
- Eating
- Getting dressed
- Transferring themselves
- Going to the bathroom
- Bathing and/or showering[11]
To qualify, individuals need to already be enrolled in NC Medicaid.
Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA)
The Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA) helps Medicaid-eligible beneficiaries remain in or return to their community or home as an alternative to placement in a nursing home. The waiver program is aimed at helping medically fragile Medicaid recipients who would otherwise be institutionalized if services weren’t able to be provided in a community- or home-based setting. Here are some of the home- and community-based services that are covered:
- In-home caregiver
- Community integration and transition
- Specialized medical supplies
- Personal emergency response services[12]
Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)
The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) provides a range of long-term care services to frail older adults living in a community setting. The program helps seniors remain in their chosen community while receiving the care services they need, rather than having to move to an institutional setting.
Individuals must meet the following requirements to be eligible for PACE services:
- Be age 55+
- Meet a nursing home level of care
- Live in a PACE organization service area
- Be enrolled in Medicaid and/or Medicare, or able to pay with private funds
- Meet NC Medicaid’s financial eligibility requirements for long-term care
- Able to safely live in their community without compromising their health[11]

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for older adults age 65 and older, as well as those under age 65 with disabilities. Medicare doesn’t pay for a majority of services provided in assisted living, like support with activities of daily living that are considered custodial care. Additionally, room and board expenses of an assisted living community aren’t covered by Medicare.
In some instances, Medicare may pay for short-term care services if there’s a medical need for the services and it’s provided by a certified health professional. Some examples of these services that may be covered by Medicare include:
- Inpatient hospital stays
- Skilled nursing care
- Prescription medications
- Medical supplies and equipment
- Rehabilitation following surgery
You can locate more information about Medicare eligibility and enrollment on the Medicare website. You can also enroll in Medicare and find more information on Medicare by contacting the Social Security Administration.
North Carolina also offers free, unbiased Medicare counseling through the North Carolina Department of Insurance with the Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP). Trained SHIIP counselors are chock full of information about Medicare plans and can help you find and apply for your eligible Medicare Savings Programs.
The North Carolina Senior Medicare Patrol Program (NCSMP) is an educational program taught by trained SHIIP volunteers. The program is aimed at helping Medicare beneficiaries understand Medicare statements and benefits, so they can better identify and prevent Medicare fraud.

Understand North Carolina laws and regulations for assisted living facilities
In North Carolina, assisted living facilities — also called adult care homes — are defined as residences that provide round-the-clock personal care services.[06] Assisted living facilities in Charlotte are licensed and regulated by the Division of Health Services Regulation (DHSR), which operates under the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

These annual assessments help identify any significant changes to a resident’s health status or abilities, like the following:
