READ MOREThe North Carolina average price for nursing home care is $7,483 per month. Hickory is about $700 higher than that, and the city is also a few hundred more than the national average of $7,908. This is likely due to its more remote location away from major metropolitan areas. Asheville, located to the west near the Tennessee state border, is $7,665. The larger central city of Charlotte is $7,756. Winston is a little to the northeast and similar to Hickory at $8,197, but the capital city of Raleigh is significantly lower at $6,996.

Seniors in Hickory can expect to pay an average of $8,152 each month for a semiprivate room in a nursing home and $9,460 monthly for a private room.
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
Nursing homes aren’t the only option for senior care. Some might prefer to age in place and receive in-home care which costs $4,099 per month or home health care at $4,385. If conditions allow, seniors may benefit from adult day health care and periodic visits or companion services, which costs $1,300. With nursing homes averaging $8,152 and $9,460 for a semiprivate or private room, assisted living might be a more budget-friendly option. Residents in Hickory who only need minor assistance with activities of daily living will pay about $3,523 each month, which is more than half the cost of a semiprivate nursing home room.
