As our clients age and start planning for their long term care, clients may and their families should research local Assisted Living, Memory Care, and/or Skilled Nursing Facilities before making any decisions. Certainly we encourage and assist our clients to stay in their homes as long as they wish and as long as they can get the care they need. Nonetheless, often an Assisted Living facility may be the next best step.
When choosing a facility, we advise our clients to take into account their resources and their health care needs. Some clients may only need Assisted Living care while others may need Skilled Nursing care. Keep in mind that the level of care required may change as the resident ages. Likewise a resident’s ability to pay may change over time. Some clients receive enough monthly income and have enough available resources to pay privately for a facility, while other clients may need to apply for Special Assistance or Medicaid Benefits.
In addition, we recommend that our Elder Law clients carefully review the admission agreements and financial stability of a facility before making a deposit or signing any documents. Important provisions include cost increases, possible tax deductions of long term care payments, who decides what level of care is required, what happens if spouses need different levels of care, what happens if a resident runs out of funds, what happens to any deposits in the event of a death, etc.
Below is a chart that may be useful in locating local Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing Facilities in New Hanover County and surrounding counties. This list also indicates if the facility accepts Special Assistance or Medicaid payments. Special Assistance is a public benefit that provides payment for care in an Assisted Living facility or Memory Care facility for those who meet the eligibility requirements. Medicaid is a public benefit that provides payment for care in a Skilled Nursing facility for those who meet the eligibility requirements. Please note when referring to the below chart that the list is non exhaustive as some facilities did not wish to be included or did not respond to requests for information.
Craige & Fox, PLLC does not endorse any of the below facilities, but simply provides this list as a reference. We encourage you to visit the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services website which provides facility inspections, ratings and penalties for Assisted Living, Memory Care and Skilled Nursing Facilities in the state of North Carolina when searching for a facility for you or a loved one. And of course there is no substitute for an on-site visit to make a determination of how a facility takes care of its residents.
