How Charlotte Senior Advisor works

Start to finish — that first anxious search through to move-in day — usually runs a couple of weeks for Charlotte families.

📋1

Lay out the situation

Answer a handful of straight questions — care level, budget, which side of the metro, and your timeline. Your name and number stay yours until you're ready to hand them over.

🤝2

Get a shortlist, not a phone book

A local advisor works through your answers and comes back with one to three verified communities that actually fit — nobody dumps a list of a dozen on you.

🔑3

Visit, weigh it, settle in

We book the tours, translate the quotes into apples-to-apples numbers, and stay in your corner through the paperwork and move-in day. Free the whole way.

Common questions

Who licenses assisted living communities in Charlotte?
North Carolina licenses senior care through one division — the NC Division of Health Service Regulation (DHSR), part of NCDHHS. Within DHSR, the Adult Care Licensure Section licenses Adult Care Homes (7+ beds) under 10A NCAC 13F and Family Care Homes (2–6 beds) under 10A NCAC 13G, and the Nursing Home Licensure and Certification Section licenses nursing homes under 10A NCAC 13D. Families can verify a community's license and inspection history with the NC DHSR facility search — one lookup covers adult care homes, family care homes, and nursing homes.
How can Special Assistance or Medicaid help pay for care?
North Carolina's State/County Special Assistance (SA) program is a state and county cash supplement — not Medicaid itself — administered through your county Department of Social Services (DSS) that helps eligible low-income seniors pay room and board in a licensed Adult Care Home or Family Care Home. SA recipients are automatically Medicaid-eligible. The SA/SCU track covers memory-care Special Care Units, and Special Assistance In-Home (SAIH) helps seniors stay at home. Separately, NC Medicaid's Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA) funds in-home personal care as a nursing-home alternative. Our advisors help you understand eligibility, which you apply for through your county DSS.
What cities/areas do you serve?
Charlotte, Concord, Gastonia, Huntersville, Matthews, Mint Hill, Cornelius, Davidson, Monroe, Indian Trail, Waxhaw, Mooresville, Belmont, Pineville, and Kannapolis — across Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Gaston, Union, and Iredell counties throughout the Greater Charlotte metro in North Carolina.
How much does assisted living cost around Charlotte?
Standard assisted living in Greater Charlotte generally runs $4,200 to $5,800 a month, while memory care runs $5,400 to $7,200 a month. Costs vary by area — South Charlotte/Ballantyne, the Lake Norman towns (Cornelius, Davidson, Mooresville), and Waxhaw skew highest; west/northwest Charlotte, Gastonia, and parts of east Charlotte run comparatively lower.
How fast can a parent move in?
Most non-urgent moves close in 7–14 days. Hospital discharges from Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center, Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center, or CaroMont Regional Medical Center can sometimes happen the same day.
Can the Area Agency on Aging or VA benefits help?
The Centralina Area Agency on Aging serves the whole Charlotte metro, and each county's Department of Social Services offers local guidance — along with the NC Division of Aging and Adult Services for statewide benefits counseling. Veterans can reach the Salisbury VA Health Care System — the W.G. (Bill) Hefner VA Medical Center — plus the VA Charlotte North and VA Charlotte South Health Care Centers for benefits guidance, including Aid & Attendance.
Is my information shared with lots of companies?
No. We narrow it to one to three communities that genuinely fit and stop there. Whatever you tell our local Charlotte team stays with our local Charlotte team — it's not sold on or passed around.
What does this service cost families?
Not a cent. The community your loved one chooses pays us, and only after the move actually happens — so the cost never lands on your family.

A Charlotte shortlist worth acting on — minutes, not weeks.

Free, online, zero pressure. The family calls the shots here; the communities pay the tab.
