In Gastonia, senior care services are priced depending on the level of care required, staff-to-senior ratio offered and location care is received. At $6,935 per month for a semiprivate room, nursing home care is the most expensive option because it includes around-the-clock skilled nursing along with room-and-board in a state-licensed facility. Assisted living also includes room and board and costs less than in-home care from a homemaker or home health aide, based on 44 hours of service weekly. Adult day health is the least-expensive option because this service is delivered in a group setting for a limited number of hours on weekdays only.

Medicaid, the national government health plan, provides 1 in 5 low-income North Carolina residents with health care coverage for emergency, acute, primary and long-term care services. Approximately 28% of NC Medicaid enrollees are elderly or disabled.
Medicaid is designed to help those who cannot afford private health insurance, therefore, all applicants are required to meet income and asset limits. In North Carolina, seniors who receive Supplemental Security Income benefits or funds through the State-County Special Assistance program are automatically eligible for Medicaid enrollment.
To qualify, seniors can earn no more than $1,041 per month ($1,410 per couple) and own no more than $2,000 in countable assets when applying as an individual or $3,000 when applying with a spouse.
Income from all sources is included, although some assets, such as one vehicle, personal belongings and an owner-occupied home worth up to $585,00, are exempt.
Seniors with excess income and high medical expenses may be able to enroll in Medicaid through the Medically Needy pathway. Also referred to as a Medicaid spend-down program, this pathway allows seniors to pay their own medical expenses up to a predetermined limit every six months. Once they reach the limit, Medicaid coverage takes effect for the remainder of the eligibility period.
Note: This program cannot be used to reduce assets which exceed Medicaid limits.
Personal Care Services
Seniors with Medicaid coverage who reside in an assisted living facility and require help with at least two activities of daily living may be eligible for up to 3.5 hours of care daily through the Personal Care Services program.
This Medicaid-entitlement program lets seniors who have a chronic illness, disability or age-related mobility loss that impacts their ability to eat, bathe, get dressed, use the toilet or navigate their environment remain in the community. An NC Medicaid designated assessor evaluates the care needs of each applicant and recommends services based on the applicant’s individualized service plan.
To qualify, applicants must have one of the following unmet care needs:
Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly

Participants also have access to the PACE center which offers recreational, social and nutritional programming and space for physical, occupational and speech therapy.
Participation is voluntary and seniors are free to leave the program at any time.
