A regional benchmark, not this home’s price. Ask the facility for a written estimate. Medicaid may cover long-term care for those who qualify — participation is not a guarantee of coverage or an available bed.
What may pay for nursing-home care
- Medicare. Covers only a short, skilled stay after a qualifying hospital stay (up to 100 days, with cost-sharing after day 20) — not ongoing custodial long-term care.
- Medicaid. The main payer for long-term nursing-home care for those who qualify financially; participation is shown per home, but participation is not the same as eligibility or an available bed. In most states this is delivered through a Medicaid managed-care plan (MLTSS — Managed Long Term Services and Supports) that coordinates the care; check your state's program.
- VA benefits. May help eligible veterans and some spouses; rules and facilities vary.
- Long-term care insurance. Pays per your policy's terms, elimination period, and daily limits.
- Private pay. Out of pocket, often combined with the above. Ask each home for a written estimate.
Medicaid managed care in NC: In NC, Medicaid long-term care is generally provided directly (fee-for-service) rather than through a managed-care plan (2024). Check your state Medicaid office for current rules.
