Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Forest City

Seniors requiring assistance to pay for an ALR may be able to get help through the Medicaid State Fund. The fund pays for personal care provided to eligible residents. Eligibility is based on the Federal Supplemental Security income payment and any other sources of income. The fund does not pay for a private room, which must be supplemented by the patient or family members.

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in North Carolina page.
