READ MOREMooresville is a small town near Lake Norman about 30 miles north of Charlotte. The town is home to around 51,594 residents, 11.8% of whom are aged 65 and over. Low taxes, warm summers, and health care facilities such as Iredell at Mooresville, a 24-hour facility offering physical therapy for balance and gait issues, make Mooresville an attractive option for seniors. The area’s relatively low nursing home costs may further draw seniors. Mooresville residents pay an average of $7,756 per month, less than the $7,908 it costs nationwide, according to Genworth’s 2021 Cost of Care Survey.
Nursing home residents are monitored and treated by skilled nurses and caregivers 24 hours a day. Medical professionals are available on-site, allowing additional treatments and procedures to be delivered. Nursing home care is typically the most expensive senior care option. For seniors who don’t need such high levels of care, assisted living and home health care are two cheaper alternatives.
This guide includes detailed information about the costs of various types of care. There’s also a list of valuable resources for Mooresville seniors and their families.

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.
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 following table includes resources that may be helpful for seniors requiring some level of care. These resources may be used by seniors or their families to retain their independence or to make life in senior care easier.
