What it costs
NC Medicaid paid this home $318.53 a day (about $9,683 a month) for a resident on Medicaid, effective Jan 1, 2024 — the newest rate NC Medicaid has published. The typical nursing home near Charlotte was paid $322.34 a day.
This is what Medicaid pays, not what the home charges.

What you can do
Questions to ask on a tour, from this record
- Weekend staffing is thinner here. Who is on duty on a Saturday night, and how many residents does each aide care for?
- May I see your most recent inspection report? (Nursing homes must keep it where residents and visitors can read it.)
- How many residents does each nurse aide care for on day, evening and night shifts?
If your family member already lives here
A record like this is a reason to watch closely and ask questions, not necessarily to move — moving a frail person carries risks of its own. Raise concerns with the director of nursing first, in writing if serious. If that doesn't resolve them, call the free Long-Term Care Ombudsman (Centralina, (800) 508-5777) or file a complaint with the state (NC DHSR, 1-800-624-3004, weekdays). If someone is in danger now, call 911.
