The Cost of Nursing Home Care in Nearby Cities
The North Carolina average price for nursing home care is $7,483 per month. Hickory is about $700 higher than that, and the city is also a few hundred more than the national average of $7,908. This is likely due to its more remote location away from major metropolitan areas. Asheville, located to the west near the Tennessee state border, is $7,665. The larger central city of Charlotte is $7,756. Winston is a little to the northeast and similar to Hickory at $8,197, but the capital city of Raleigh is significantly lower at $6,996.

Nursing Home Costs in Hickory, NC

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Hickory, 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.
The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
Nursing homes aren’t the only option for senior care. Some might prefer to age in place and receive in-home care which costs $4,099 per month or home health care at $4,385. If conditions allow, seniors may benefit from adult day health care and periodic visits or companion services, which costs $1,300. With nursing homes averaging $8,152 and $9,460 for a semiprivate or private room, assisted living might be a more budget-friendly option. Residents in Hickory who only need minor assistance with activities of daily living will pay about $3,523 each month, which is more than half the cost of a semiprivate nursing home room.
