Brunswick County is North Carolina’s southernmost county, bordered by South Carolina, the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean. The 2020 Census reveals the county’s population to be 136,693, of which 33.3% are in the 65 and over age group. This is significantly above the U.S. average of 16.9%, suggesting Brunswick County is popular with older citizens. This may be due to its many charming and peaceful towns, numerous beaches and a generally healthy environment that contributes to the average life expectancy being almost 1.5 years above the country’s norm, according to the U.S. News and World Report. The county’s medical facilities include the well-regarded Brunswick Medical Center in Bolivia and Brunswick Community Hospital in Supply.
Seniors better served by registered nurses and therapists at home have several home health care agencies to choose from, while those who need nonmedical assistance with daily living tasks also have plenty of home care agencies at their disposal. The typical fee for home care in Brunswick County is $4,576 according to the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, which is a little above North Carolina’s average.
