There are several programs for financial assistance for adult daycare in North Carolina. These include federal, state and/or local programs. One program is the Medicaid Waiver program for the Aged and Disabled. The purpose of this program is to keep people in the community who would otherwise require nursing home placement. The Day Care facility must be approved by the State and accept the Waiver. Other programs include the NC State Medicaid Plan, Older American's Act Title III B and Social Services Block Grants. The best source for finding out which programs are available to your mother is to contact your county Agency on Aging. These offices are run by the NC Department on Aging and Adult Services.
