Any person may receive crisis and emergency services in North Carolina. Regardless of where you are in the state, simply call the LME's 24-hour Access/Crisis hotline at any time. The trained person answering the crisis line arranges for the right service for you and your situation. You may receive crisis services regardless of your ability to pay.
Admissions to most state-operated healthcare facilities are referred through the Local Management Entities (LME).
Residents in our facilities are accorded many rights. See our Patient’s Rights page.
Money Follows the Person (MFP) provides funding to help people who live in a state operated developmental center or in a neuro-medical treatment facility to move to the community if they choose to participate in the program. People who move to the community through MFP will receive services in one of the Community Alternatives Programs (CAP) which includes CAP-MR/DD and CAP-Disabled Adults (DA). People who are eligible participants for MFP are those who lived in a private or public intermediate care facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities (Intermediate Care Facility for the Mentally Retarded, or ICF-MR) or a nursing facility for at least three months; are eligible for Medicaid; and meet the enrollment criteria for one of the CAP programs.
