Chapel Hill has been named one of North Carolina’s finest retirement destinations, thanks to attractive features such as its bustling music scene and numerous restaurants and museums. The town also has much to offer outdoor lovers, including arboretums and parks. Those positive traits have helped attract many older adults to the area. Just over 11% of Chapel Hill’s 64,051 residents are seniors 65 years of age and up. For medical care, they can rely on the UNC Medical Center, which is a highly rated facility whose network includes a dedicated geriatric practice.
Many high-quality home health care providers serve the seniors of Chapel Hill. Per the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey, the average Chapel Hill home care provider charges $4,385 per month, while for home health care, the average monthly rate is $4,767. Nationally, the average home care price of $4,481 is higher than Chapel Hill’s, but the home health care rate of $4,576 is lower.
Note: Home care cost data was not available for Chapel Hill, so data for the closest city, Durham, was used.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Chapel Hill area – complete with types of care provided, services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled a list of resources to help seniors and their families access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

I’m using HomeCare.com. It’s fine. They’re very good and very responsive to any concerns I have, and they’ve provided me with a good health care aide, not great necessarily, but good. They also provide light housekeeping, they help me clean myself up, and they take me to my appointment. They get here within a certain time window between 7 and 7:30, and that’s when I need them here. A lot of times my communication is directly with the aides. If she can’t come on a certain day, the agency would contact me to see whether I need some assistance or need somebody to fill me in on a given day. I think I’m paying more than I probably should because they have a mandatory number of days that I can contract for, and that’s probably more than I usually need. To maintain the contract, I have to keep them on a certain number of days.

I have somebody from Affordable Family Care Services coming in for two hours a week, and so far so good. I have no real complaints. At first they said, they had a twelve hour a week minimum and I can’t afford that. I said that I only needed two hours and they were willing to work with me. I needed somebody to give my mom a bath, wash her hair, and besides that, they clean her room. The girl that comes in is very hard-working and she gets everything done, which I thought was going to take more than two hours, but she gets it done in an hour and a half. She is very efficient and she does a good job. She’s sweet and patient with my mom, and she has developed a very good rapport with her. I even changed my time to accommodate her schedule because I’d just as soon have her and not start with somebody else. I like her that much. I will adjust her schedule if I had to.

This company has more of a focus of telling the client what they will do for them than of asking what is needed. The saddest part is that they are dishonest about the schedule consistency that they promise, and then they REFUSE to return phone calls when a phone conference is requested to discuss such matters. Due to their NO SHOWS, prioritizing “having to attend a party”, and similar behavior, my grandmother was left without the needed care we’d hired, and she ended up hospitalized.
The stories change frequently based on whatever untrue statements they cook up for not being available to either provide care or call a client back I would never recommend them.
Even when their managers make promises, we quickly learned that we could not rely on that due to high management turnover.

Chapel Hill Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Chapel Hill:
Address: P.O. Box 2102, Chapel Hill, NC 27515

Meals on Wheels delivers food to people who otherwise have trouble accessing nutrition, providing five meals per week. Deliveries take place between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. If recipients are not home during that time period, the organization can make once-weekly deliveries of five frozen meals. Eligible enrollees include homebound seniors as well as convalescing individuals. A sliding, income-based scale determines the fees for meals.

Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
