How Raleigh Families Save Thousands on Home Care with Medicaid
Caring for a loved one at home is one of the greatest responsibilities a family can take on — but it can also be one of the most expensive. Many families in Raleigh and the surrounding areas struggle to balance work, household responsibilities, and caregiving, all while worrying about how to pay for the help they need.
The good news is that North Carolina Medicaid offers Personal Care Services (PCS) that can significantly reduce or even eliminate the cost of in-home care. This program allows families to access licensed, trustworthy caregiverswithout draining their savings. At LifeLink Home Care, we specialize in helping families navigate this process so they can focus on what matters most: their loved ones.
What Does Medicaid Cover for Home Care in NC?
In North Carolina, Medicaid covers Personal Care Services (PCS), which include:
Assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, and mobility.
In-home care delivered by licensed caregivers who are trained and background-checked.
Support that is approved based on medical need, not just age.
As a licensed, Medicaid-approved provider, LifeLink ensures that care is not only affordable, but also safe, professional, and compassionate.
Why Families Choose Medicaid Home Care
Without Medicaid, in-home personal care in Raleigh can cost $25–$30 per hour. Just 20 hours a week can add up to over $2,000 a month — a heavy financial burden for most households.
With Medicaid PCS, families can access the same quality care for little to no out-of-pocket cost. This makes it possible for loved ones to remain in the comfort of their own homes while receiving the care they need.
