NC Direct Care Worker Wage and Rate Analysis

NCDHHS and the North Carolina Center on the Workforce for Health are launching a statewide analysis to understand direct care workforce challenges, assess current reimbursement rates, and shape future workforce strategies. There will be a confidential provider survey released as part of this analysis. The survey will launch on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, and close on Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.

Provider participation, while voluntary, is essential to ensure meaningful results. Two orientation webinars are offered for more information on Friday, July 31, 2026 from 10:00-12:00 p.m. and Monday, Aug. 3 from 3:00-5:00 p.m. The sessions will feature a survey overview and walkthrough for all provider types. For more information about covered services, project background, and the upcoming survey process, please visit the NC Center on the Workforce for Health’s NC Direct Care Worker Wage & Rate Analysis webpage.
