Raleigh, North Carolina is North Carolina’s capital city and part of the three-city area known as the Research Triangle, along with nearby Durham and Chapel Hill. From the North Carolina Museum of History to the natural beauty found along the hiking trails of William B. Umstead State Park, seniors have plenty of options for active living in Raleigh. The city’s senior population aged 65 and older represent 10.2% of Raleigh’s 474,069 residents. Because of the city’s position in the Research Triangle, Raleigh is home to two of the nation’s top-tier research and teaching medical facilities at Duke University and UNC-Chapel Hill.
Raleigh seniors also have access to a wide array of home health services. Per the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2019, homemaker services cost $4,004 monthly on average and home health aide services run $4,195 monthly on average. Both monthly costs are lower than the national averages of $4,290 monthly for homemaker services and $4,385 monthly for home health aides.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Raleigh 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.

Aware Senior Care hire the best people. My husband fractured his pelvis and was in rehab until they had an outbreak of Covid-19. We felt he would be better at home than at the facility, but he still required 24/7 care. Aware Senior Care was recommended to us and we hired them. Was the best decision we made.
All the aides were extremely professional, dedicated and compassionate. They were like family to us, especially Happy, Maryse, Margaret and Jeneba. They were always there on time and would not leave until the new aide arrived, even when they had another appointment and I said it was ok to go, Happy would not leave. They helped with everything, attending his bathroom needs, dressing him, washing him, helping with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Always willing to do whatever it took. The agency always kept in touch to see that we were satisfied with the service. Tim even came on Angelo’s birthday with goodies. Gina was there the first day to make sure the house was safe and everything that was needed was in place. Cannot say enough wonderful things about this group. Thank you all for all you did for us. So comforting to have you there and a very stressful time.

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.

I don’t usually take the time to write reviews but in this case I wanted other people to be able to feel the overwhelming relief that my sister and I did when we called Home Helpers to care for my father. I can honestly say that everyone there… the owners and the staff bent over backwards to help us any way they could. My father had reservations about anyone other than us helping him but he was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable he was with all the helpers he met! They were friendly yet professional and most importantly they didn’t try to change my dad’s routine… only assisted him through it. They also helped with doing his laundry and running to the store when needed and preparing meals. In our situation we needed help FAST and they were able to quickly respond with caring, intelligent, qualified people…. what more can you ask for?

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.
