How people pay for independent living in Wilmington, NC
Many seniors use a combination of private income sources to pay for rent in an independent living in Wilmington. Veterans or their surviving spouses may also qualify for supplemental income through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that can help offset their costs of living.
In this section, we outline the common private payment methods residents utilize to cover costs of senior living. We also run through public benefit options, what services they cover, and how to seek local benefit assistance as a senior in Wilmington. Most services provided in an independent living facility aren’t covered by public benefits like Medicare or Medicaid, however, some medically necessary care services may be covered by these programs.
If you prepared for retirement, you may have built up a substantial amount of income in personal savings, stock returns or investments, and retirement income. Some of your sources of retirement income may be able to go a long way when paying for independent living thanks to North Carolina’s tax laws. Your Social Security benefits, in particular, aren’t taxed in North Carolina. Other forms of retirement income (pensions, 401(k), IRA, etc.) are taxed at North Carolina’s 4.99% income tax rate.[02]
Depending on your available resources, you may also use the following to pay for your ideal retirement in an independent senior living community in Wilmington:
Number of veterans living in Wilmington, NC in 2021
Around 46% of Wilmington veterans are age 65 and older.
Eligible veterans and surviving spouses could receive benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Some VA benefits can be used to help pay for independent living in Wilmington. In particular, the Aid and Attendance is a VA benefit that can be used for anything that improves a veteran’s quality of life. Aid and Attendance can provide a generous source of monthly supplemental income to those who qualify, which can be put toward senior living expenses. The veteran must be enrolled in VA health care and qualify for a VA Pension to receive Aid and Attendance. There are several disabilities that could qualify a senior veteran for this benefit.
There are many other VA benefit programs that could be available to qualified veterans and surviving spouses through the state and county veteran offices — North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) and the New Hanover County Veteran Services (NHCVS) office, respectively. You can find qualified benefit specialists through these veteran service centers.
We recommend getting in touch with a benefit specialist or veteran service organization (VSO) before applying for benefits. Benefits counselors at local VSOs can help you verify your eligibility for benefits to make sure you don’t miss out on any VA benefits you’re entitled to. They’ll help you file claims and some even appeal denied claims. VSOs can be found at the Wilmington veterans service centers below. We also provide some helpful online guides to veterans benefits.

NC Medicaid is North Carolina’s public health insurance program that’s jointly funded by the state and federal governments. It doesn’t pay for rent or room and board costs if you reside at an independent living community in Wilmington. However, some personal care and medically necessary home health services may be covered if you come to need them.
In the event you need access to certain long-term services and supports, you may be able to benefit from one of the state’s home and community based services (HCBS) programs. HCBS programs help Medicaid beneficiaries access specified health services, so they can continue living in their home or a licensed adult care home — or assisted living community — and avoid nursing home placement. We run through some of NC Medicaid’s HCBS programs below.
Personal care services (PCS)
As the name suggests, personal care services (PCS) provide supportive services to people who need help with activities of living such as eating, bathing, and getting dressed. PCS is available to individuals who live in any of the following settings:[04]
- Private living arrangement (such as their independent living home or with a caregiver)
- Licensed adult care home (assisted living community)
- Licensed group home
- Combination home — a nursing home that provides one or more levels of care (i.e. a blend of skilled nursing care with assisted living and/or intermediate care)
Home health services
Medicaid beneficiaries who live in private residences could be eligible to receive medically necessary home health services. These are the types of services that can be received at your independent living home:[05]
- Skilled nursing care
- Physical, speech, and occupational therapies
- Medical supplies
- Home health aide services
Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA)
Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA) is designed to help disabled adults who meet a nursing home level of care. CAP/DA provides services from a beneficiary’s home or community setting to provide an alternative to nursing home placement. Here are some of the approved services under this waiver:[06]
- In-home health aide
- Meal preparation and delivery
- Personal assistance
- Specialized medical supplies
- CAP in-home aide
Applying for Medicaid
You need to be enrolled in NC Medicaid before you can access any of the programs listed above. You can apply for NC Medicaid online using the ePass website or in person at the New Hanover County Department of Social Services. You can also download an application and mail it to your local Department of Social Services office.
Help with Medicaid
Your local Department of Social Services office can help you sort out any issues that emerge during the process of applying for NC Medicaid. You can also contact the NC Medicaid contact center for assistance.
The NC Medicaid Ombudsman can be a tremendous resource for Medicaid-related questions or complaints. They provide support if you have any trouble accessing care and can refer you to other helpful services in the community, such as the following:
- Legal aid
- Housing assistance
- Social services
- Food assistance

Seniors age 65+ are eligible to receive coverage for short-term health care services through Medicare. Coverage varies depending on the type of plan selected.
- Medicare Part A can help cover hospice or short-term skilled nursing care, and hospital stays.
- Medicare Part B covers preventative medicine, such as medical appointments, supplies, and other preventative services.
- Medicare Part D helps seniors with the costs of prescription medication and offers an insulin benefit to cap costs.
While the federal health insurance program can’t be used to pay rent or living costs at an independent living community, you may qualify for Medicare-approved home health services if there’s a medical need for them. To qualify for home health services, you must already be enrolled in Medicare Part A and/or Part B and meet all of the criteria below:[07]
- You must be homebound because of a condition or illness.
- You must be under a doctor’s care and have a regularly reviewed care plan.
- You must need part-time skilled nursing and/or specialized therapies for a condition.
Save on Medicare costs
North Carolina has several Medicare Savings Programs that can help lower out-of-pocket costs for Medicare premiums, deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance for Medicare Parts A and B. The Extra Help program is designed to help pay for Medicare prescription drug costs. Those who qualify for Extra Help will pay no more than $4.15 for a generic drug or $10.35 for a brand-name drug in 2023.[08]
You may qualify if you have an annual income of less than $21,876 for a single person (or $29,580 for a married person) in 2023. You must also have less than $16,660 in other types of resources (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc.) if you’re single and less than $33,240 in extra resources if you’re married. You can automatically qualify for Extra Help if you meet any of the following conditions:[08]
- You already have Medicare.
- You receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
- You qualify for a state Medicare savings program that helps pay your Medicare Part B premiums.
- You have complete Medicaid coverage.
Medicare counseling in North Carolina
You can access free Medicare counseling through the state’s Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP). SHIIP counselors are trained to provide unbiased information about Medicare and can help you navigate through Medicare coverage and benefits. You can also take part in SHIIP’s North Carolina Senior Medical Patrol Program to learn how to recognize and avoid potential Medicare fraud and billing errors.

Understand North Carolina laws and regulations for independent living communities
Independent living communities aren’t in the same way as assisted living or memory care facilities, which are licensed and overseen by the state. This goes for stand-alone independent living communities, as well as those located within a facility that offers assisted living and memory care. In those cases, the assisted living and memory care sections are regulated differently than the independent living areas.
For the most part, independent living communities in Wilmington are looked at in the same light as an apartment community. This means independent living communities are ultimately held to Wilmington’s housing codes and rules outlined in North Carolina landlord/tenant law. We detail information about local housing standards and responsibilities for owners and residents. You’ll also find information about laws in place to prevent housing discrimination.
Housing code
Independent living communities in Wilmington must comply with the local housing code to provide a safe and habitable environment. Housing inspectors are in charge of evaluating independent living apartment units for any violations, like the following:[09]
- Overloaded and unsafe flooring or roofs
- Insufficient ventilation, light, heating, or sanitary facilities
- Hazardous damage from fire, wind, or other causes
- Decay or unsanitary conditions that present a health hazard
- Damaged or buckling interior walls
- Lack of electrical, plumbing, or heating utilities
Landlord responsibilities
North Carolina independent living community owners operate similarly to a landlord at a senior apartment in Wilmington. As such, Wilmington independent living communities are responsible for making sure the building is in compliance with Wilmington’s minimum housing code, keeping the buildings safe and fit to live in, and making all necessary repairs. To keep a building safe with necessary repairs means landlords are responsible for the following types of maintenance tasks:[10]
- Provide smoke alarms.
- Repair any broken-down appliances or structural defects.
- Keep all building common spaces (sidewalks, stairs, hallways, etc.) clear and in a safe condition.
- Make sure all heating, electrical, and plumbing equipment is in proper working condition.
Responsibilities for residents
In most cases, independent living community residents rent their units and also have certain obligations to meet. Tenants in North Carolina are responsible for paying rent on time, as well as keeping to the following expectations:[10]
- Keep unit in clean condition.
- Dispose of trash properly.
- Give notice if you plan to move out at the end of the lease.
- Prevent unnecessary damage to the unit caused by the tenant or their guests.
Protection from housing discrimination at an independent living community
All rental properties in North Carolina have to follow laws that prevent housing discrimination. These laws include the federal Fair Housing Act and the North Carolina State Fair Housing Act. Both laws are designed to ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to be considered for housing. These laws prevent housing discrimination based on a person’s sex, race, disability, religion, or family status (with the exception of the housing for older persons).[11]
There are a few different ways you can report an independent living community you feel isn’t following anti-discrimination housing laws. You can take any of the actions below to file a formal complaint:
- Download a Housing Discrimination Inquiry form and email it to HRC.Complaints@oah.nc.gov.
- Call the North Carolina Office of Administrative Hearings Civil Right Division’s Housing Discrimination Section at 984-236-1914.
Reasonable accommodations and modifications for disabled seniors
Landlords have to make reasonable accommodations and modifications to a property under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Both accommodations and modifications are aimed at helping disabled individuals have equal access to the community’s spaces.
Accommodations are generally exceptions to a community’s policy. This can look like a community overlooking its no-pet policy and letting residents with a disability bring their service or therapy animal. Any physical changes or adjustments to a community’s physical structure or construction are considered modifications. For example, installing ramps at community entrances or exits. Any modifications to common spaces should be paid for by the landlord or property owner.
The law also requires landlords to let tenants make in-unit modifications that help them live and function better in their homes. In-unit modifications are usually paid for by the tenant. Some landlords also ask for these modifications to be removed before moving out, so the unit is returned to its original state. Examples of in-unit modifications include the following:
- Installing grab bars
- Lowering light switches
- Widening doorways
- Removing carpets
COVID-19 regulations for Wilmington independent living communities
As of 2023, stand-alone independent living communities don’t have any COVID-19 regulations or mandates in place. Communities are allowed to make their own COVID-19 policies for residents, visitors, and staff that may be stricter than those set by the state. We recommend reaching out to a prospective community directly to see what measures they may have in place for COVID-19.
Additionally, you can check the New Hanover County COVID-19 community level tracker to monitor local cases and vaccination rates. You can also check local hospital admissions by using the COVID-19 County Check on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website. The hospital admission for New Hanover County is rated low as of June 2023. Based on this admission level, the CDC recommends following practices such as the following:
Vaccinations. Stay current on COVID-19 vaccines and boosters.
Masking. Wear a face covering if you have COVID-19 symptoms, test positive, or were exposed to someone with COVID-19.
Social distancing. Stay away from anyone with confirmed or suspected COVID-19.
Quarantine. Follow the CDC’s isolation guidance if you have confirmed COVID-19 or think you do.
