What to Consider About Assisted Living in Arden

The community of Arden is part of the Asheville metropolitan area, which has a population of over 92,000 residents. Senior citizens make up more than 17% of this population and may require the service of an assisted living residence (ALR), 51 of which can be found in the Asheville area.

In North Carolina, including Arden, both adult care homes (ACHs) and multi-unit assisted housing with services facilities are classified as ALRs. The North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation licenses ACHs and registers multi-unit assisted housing with services communities.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Arden

Seniors in Arden have plenty of access to financial assistance to help cover the cost of an ALR. North Carolina's Medicaid State Plan provides coverage for personal care services in an ACH environment. To help with the cost of room and board, a supplemental state/county assistance payment is available to seniors, which includes a personal needs allowance and income disregard. The state also permits supplementation from family members whose loved ones reside in an ACH and request a private room.
