What a stay may cost
- Medicare: this home isn’t certified for Medicare, so Medicare won’t pay for a stay here.
- Paying privately: ask the home for its daily rate and what it includes. As a guide, North Carolina’s Medicaid program uses about $11,904 a month as the average cost of nursing home care (June 2026); see the state’s figure.
- Medicaid: this home is certified for Medicaid, which pays for most long-term care once savings run low. Ask whether a Medicaid bed is available. Medicaid rules in North Carolina →
