11 Nursing Homes Near Fayetteville, NC
Fayetteville is home to the U.S. Army military installation, Fort Bragg, a host of historic sites, colleges, museums and the Cape Fear Botanical Garden. With a population estimated at more than 211,600 people, Fayetteville’s adults who are 65 years old and up account for 11.6% of that number. Seniors in Fayetteville can access seven different area hospitals, including a Veterans Administration Medical Center, Cape Fear Valley Medical Center and Highsmith-Rainey Specialty Hospital. With 217 physicians per 100,000 people, Fayetteville surpasses the U.S. average for physicians per capita. According to the 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, a semiprivate room in a Fayetteville nursing home averages $6,722 a month, which is lower than the nation as a whole, which costs $7,756 monthly.
Nursing homes are set up like hospitals and are appropriate for seniors who require a high level of supervision, custodial care and medical monitoring that aren’t practical for individuals living in their own homes. Professionals working in a nursing home typically include registered nurses, nurse’s aides, and other care providers, such as speech, physical, and occupational therapists. Because of the extent of services provided in nursing homes, this senior care option is typically more expensive than other types of senior living arrangements. Elderly individuals who do not require a nursing home level of care may want to look into in-home care services or an assisted living facility, either of which may be more practical and appropriate.
This guide goes over the costs of various types of senior care in greater detail, including some resources for Fayetteville’s elderly citizens.

Do not go here !! Find somewhere else . The Nurses and CNAs are rude . Example my dad got a bed sore from being at Cape Fear so he has a bandage on his butt. He rolled in his sleep and it came off the nurse told him if it happens again she will not put a bandage on it again. One of the cnas told my dad they only get 4 bedsheets a day so if he had an accident he doesn’t get any more sheets. He will be on a bare mattress . They yell and have bad attitudes with patients . A guy next to my dad has some kind of disability where he can’t walk and I hear a nurse tell him to clear his table but having a real bad attitude about it . It’s so dirty here to .

Whispering Pines Nursing & Rehab Center was fine. The room that we went to where my aunt was in was very nice and very large. It had a sofa and a regular chair. Her bathroom was right there, too. She was there for probably six months or so. My family really liked Whispering Pines.
The staff were very nice, very calm, and very responsive. Personal care was excellent. They were very nice people and very skilled.
They had activities. In fact, there was a question of participating in the religious services there. The only thing we needed to do was make sure that she was dressed appropriately for the services. We wanted to make sure that she didn’t have on scrubs because it was a religious service. We wanted to make sure that she had an outfit rather than a nursing gown. We want to make sure she was dressed nicely, and they were very kind and said that’s wonderful.
She was in the rehab because she’d had a stroke. The place was nice and clean, and we knew exactly where we were going. When I say nice and clean, it didn’t smell. There was no odor and no offensive odor at all.
Even though she had a stroke, she was very able to to talk to express her ideas. We did ask her about the food, and we saw the tray which was an adequate amount of food.

My relative has been here for six years. I am sitting in the ED at Cape Fear with my family member who had to be taken to hospital because she has possible bowel blockage after complaining of nausea and sharp pain in abdominal area for two weeks. Once I met her at ED I now see a huge red area on her lower back which doctors tell me it is beginning of a bedsore. The nursing home has tried for four months unable to diagnose the problem and all the while it is skin breaking down because of lack of care and neglectful care from this facility among other things. I would not put my dog on this facility there is a lack of care compassion and trustworthiness.

No communication between their staff members. One shift has no idea what the other one did. monitoring their patients like they should… NOT HAPPENING. They did a quick evacuation for the hurracane on september… (pretty good I guess) but after they send all the patients to different facilities… some as far as more than 2 hour drive away… they failed to contact the family to give them updates on when will they reopen leaving many scrambling finding another placer closer to home for their family member. Going to the building to get info its like a joke… no one there or no concrete answer.
They spend a lot of money fixing the lobby area before the storm but no building fixing will fix the staff issue. They are obviously under staff, over worked and underpaid (it seems).

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Fayetteville, NC
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
