Summary
The Aging With Dignity Act requires that Medicaid‑funded long‑term care for North Carolinians 55 and older be provided at home or in the community unless a medical review shows an institution is needed. It also orders regular medication reviews and ties behavioral health services to geriatric care. The goal is to let seniors stay where they prefer, keep them safer, and reduce costly hospital and institutional use.
