Greensboro, North Carolina, is a historic city that is ranked as one of the best places to retire in North Carolina, according to data gathered by Caring’s 2019 Senior Living Report. The city appeals to seniors with an interest in sporting events and those looking for a city with a low cost of living and easy access to outdoor activities. Greensboro experiences hot summers and mild winters, making it possible to explore all that the city has to offer throughout the year. The 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey indicates that the average senior in Greensboro pays $4,195 per month for home care services and the same amount for home health care services. Home care differs from home health care in that it does not offer medical support and assistance. Seniors requiring hospital care will find all the services they need at the Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital and the Kindred Hospital Greensboro, which is an acute care hospital that also treats chronically ill patients.
Below we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in Greensboro– complete with services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled resources to help seniors and their families to access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

I can’t say enough about how Right at Home helped us out at the last minute, over a holiday weekend, with a very difficult situation caring for my mother. They were able to give us quality round-the-clock help with mother so that we could take care of other plans for her care. They really hung in there with us throughout the weekend.
I want to thank all caregivers involved and, particularly, Shanita for finding all the resources and keeping us informed on status.

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.

Paying for Home Care in Greensboro, NC
The Cost of Home Care in Greensboro, NC
In Greensboro, the average monthly cost of home care is $4,195 according to the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, which is almost $200 less than the North Carolina state average and significantly more affordable than the national median of $4,957. In the nearby cities of Burlington and Durham, home care costs are higher at $4,576 and $4,767 respectively. Seniors looking for affordable home care options may want to look at Winston-Salem or New Bern, which both have some of the cheapest care averages in the state.
The Cost of Home Care vs. Other Senior Care Options in Greensboro, NC
Home care costs in Greensboro are about $400 more than assisted living costs and around $3,400 less than the average cost of a semiprivate room in nursing home care. Adult day care is much more affordable; however, it is best suited to seniors who only require assistance during the working week. Home health care has the same average cost as home care in Greensboro. While home care offers assistance with the basic tasks of everyday living, home health care offers light medical services such as wound care or physical therapy administered by registered nurses and therapists.

Financial Assistance for Home Care in Greensboro, NC
Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
- Long-Term Care Insurance: Long-term care insurance covers expenses related to senior care, including in-home care. Depending on the policy type, beneficiaries may receive a cash payment to use towards long-term care or reimbursement for qualifying long-term care expenses. Note that there are limitations- typically a maximum benefit of $150 per day- and exact coverage terms vary depending on the exact policy, so always check the details.
- Medicare: Medicare does not cover in-home care because it is classified as custodial, or non-medical, care. However, some Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, which offer expanded benefits, may cover in-home custodial care.
- Medicaid: Medicaid coverage of in-home care varies between different states because it is not a federally mandated benefit. Currently, all states cover some in-home care either through their standard Medicaid or a waiver program. The specific coverage rules are set individually by each state.
- Veterans’ Benefits: The Aid and Attendance benefit is a monthly cash payment that beneficiaries can use to pay for senior care, including in-home care services. To qualify for A&A, Veterans must already receive the VA pension and meet several additional requirements, including needing assistance with the activities of daily living. Contact the Department of Veterans Affairs to learn more.
- Reverse Mortgages: Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) are federally insured loans that are available to homeowners age 62 and over. Reverse mortgages allow you to access a portion of your home’s equity in cash, tax free. Many seniors use reverse mortgages to finance their care expenses, including in-home care. Note that although there are no monthly payments due on reverse mortgage loans, borrowers do have to repay the loan once the last surviving homeowner passes away, moves, or sells the home.
Greensboro 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 Greensboro:
Address: 1398 Carrollton Crossing, Kernersville, NC 27284
Phone Number: (336) 904-0338

Services offered by the program include energy assessments, weather-stripping, attic insulation and furnace repairs or replacement. There is no charge for any of the services.
Address: Multiple Locations
Phone Number: (336) 333-6981
The Community Nutrition Program is available at seven community centers around the city. The program is funded by the state and by donations from the public. It enables seniors over the age of 60 to partake in a nutritious noon meal and have social time with others their age. After the meal, seniors participate in educational and cultural programs, field trips and health classes. There is no charge for the meal or any of the activities.
Address: 301E Washington Street, Greensboro, NC 27401
Phone Number: (336) 373-4816

Some of the activities offered include exercise classes, field trips and wellness classes. Educational seminars are held on senior health, caregiving and dealing with grief.
Address: 1401 Benjamin Parkway, Greensboro, NC 27408
Phone Number: (336) 333-6981
The Greensboro Meals on Wheels is a nonprofit organization that delivers meals to homebound seniors throughout the region. Volunteers deliver one hot meal each day from Monday to Friday. Special diets can be accommodated if requested in advance. There is a small charge for each meal but financial assistance is available. Volunteers check on the well-being of each senior when they deliver the meal and notify the authorities if there is an issue.
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 – often times 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.
