Beyond finding a community, Charlotte Senior Advisor points Charlotte-area families to the free and low-cost resources that help an older adult stay safe and supported — whether they're aging at home or planning a move. Here's where to start across the Charlotte metro.
Core resources for Greater Charlotte seniors
- Centralina Area Agency on Aging or your county DSS: free options counseling, benefits screening, and caregiver support for Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Gaston, Union, and Iredell counties. The NC Division of Aging and Adult Services connects families statewide.
- Special Assistance & CAP/DA: room-and-board help and in-home support for eligible seniors through your county DSS — see our North Carolina senior care hub.
- Veterans benefits: VA Aid & Attendance and the Salisbury VA Health Care System (Hefner VA Medical Center + the Charlotte North/South VA health care centers); VA Caregiver Support Line 1-855-260-3274.
- Meals, transportation & senior centers: Meals on Wheels, non-emergency medical transport, and community senior centers throughout the metro.
- Verify a license: check any facility's record on the NC DHSR facility search (one lookup covers adult care homes, family care homes, and nursing homes) before you tour.
