Less than an hour northeast of Raleigh, Rocky Mount straddles Edgecombe and Nash Counties and is home to 54,341 residents. About 17.3% are seniors, which is above the national average of 16.5. Their health care is capably managed by around 15 hospitals, each unique in their own way. They include Nash General Hospital, Rocky Mount Medical Center and PAM health Specialty Hospital. The city also boasts a significant number of physicians and other medical professionals registered to treat Medicare beneficiaries.
Rocky Mount’s nursing homes provide high levels of care for seniors who need around-the-clock medical supervision from skilled nurses. Although care is near hospital levels, residents’ rooms are often furnished with personal items and the general ambiance is more like home. As a consequence of their wealth of services, nursing homes can be costly — typically $6,083 per month in Rocky Mount; although the city is more affordable than average for North Carolina and the U.S. Not every senior needs 24-hour care, however. Assisted living facilities and home health aides are excellent alternatives for the more able-bodied.
This guide covers senior care costs in more detail. It also lists some useful resources for seniors and their families.

I really enjoyed visiting this facility. The landscaping is great. They have multiple sitting areas outside for the residents. The residents were so nice and lovable. I spoke to several resident there while visiting and was told repeatedly that they are comfortable and enjoy living in a place were the staff is respectful and friendly. I also seen several other resident’s family members visiting as well. I over heard a conversation that a nurse was having with a family about they’re father. Sounds like dad is improving rapidly. Putting a family member in a adult-care residence is never easy, but if if came down to it. Make sure you think threw and make the best decision. This would be a good place

Brian center, where do I start. Starting with the administration, they pass the buck when they are questioned about your family member that resides at the Brian Center not being cared for properly. Some of the new or contracted employees are not doing their job to satisfaction. They don’t don’t follow directions, and to be honest I don’t think they could care less because it’s not their family member. There are employees that have been there since the arrival and they are very compassionate and does their job well. I suggest if you’re thinking about a place for your family member, find somewhere else, stay clear away from that place. My biggest issue is I feel my family member is being punished for the lack of poor operation by administration, social worker’s, and certified nursing assistance. I will be contacting every person that I can with documentation of the unfair treatment we have encountered.

Located pretty far west of Phoenix, the Mondell House is a pretty to look at facility.
Reminds me of one of those Victorian houses you might see in Georgia. Very pleasing to the eye, with great long lawns of grass, trees, a huge entry way with pillars and small steps up onto a patio. Actually, very pretty.
When my mother and I visited, we were most impressed by the activity. Residents everywhere and many appeared comfortable, at home so to speak and in an environment they enjoyed.
One tiny little downfall for me, in fact I hate even saying this because this did seem like a well staffed facility, but there is a full time registered nurse on staff, but what about when her shift ends? We were told that there is 24 hour access to a nurse, which made me think, we (or should I say she?) would have to make phone calls for assistance.
The facility does offer incentives as far as baseball Spring training nearby, Bingo (yet in a nearby location), and credit if you refer a friend (as long as the friend stays for at least a month).
A truly beautiful home with courtyards and studio apartments, one bedroom apartments. It seemed to me, personally, although I am only 41 years young, the residents seemed equal to my abilities. Able to care for themselves, just in need of some very basic assistance.
My impression of this place was good. I liked their amenities. I liked how they cared for the home itself and its surroundings. I just wanted more for my mom, more access to help in the event more help was required.

Not a pleasure group to work with people some of them. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

My mom is currently in Accordius – Health Wilson for rehab. Our first impression of it wasn’t very appealing, it’s kind of in rough shape, and the room is kind of in bad repair. They need more staff to make sure they attend to their patients. The staff members are friendly and helpful. My mom’s a very picky person, so she complained about the food a lot, but some are good. They have a sunroom and a dining room, and they do the laundry there for the patients. It’s not an expensive place, so I think she’s getting what’s being paid for.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Rocky Mount, 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.
Free Resources for Seniors in Rocky Mount, NC
The following free resources can serve and support Rocky Mount’s seniors and their families. They can help resolve disputes with care providers, enable some seniors to remain at home for longer and support unpaid caregivers who may need help to care for their loved ones.
Rocky Mount seniors who can't resolve disputes with their care providers can call on the assistance of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman, a free service that advocates for care home residents in the city. Ombudsmen are volunteers who investigate complaints from residents, their families and third parties. Complaints can be of any nature, with issues surrounding nutrition, medication and neglect being among the most common.
Meals on Wheels of Rocky Mount is a nonprofit organization that provides homebound seniors with freshly prepared hot meals. Its volunteer drivers deliver meals on weekdays, using the opportunity to also conduct a wellbeing check on the senior.
The Family Caregiver Support Program is managed by the Upper Coastal Plain Council of Governments. It helps unpaid caregivers looking after loved ones aged 60 and over. Help can include advice on the benefits available to seniors in their care, information on how to be the best caregiver they can and access to several support services in Rocky Mount, including one-on-one counseling and group support programs. There's also a respite service that enables the caregiver to catch up on aspects of their own lives they may have neglected due to caring for someone else.
Nash County Department of Social Services operates many resources dedicated to helping the county's seniors. These include assisting homebound residents with common chores, such as collecting groceries, delivering freshly prepared meals and arranging door-to-door transportation. The department also advises seniors on the various state and federal benefits to which they may be entitled, such as the Low Income Home Energy Assistance program.
