58 Home Care Services for Seniors Serving Raleigh, NC
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.

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.

We have struggled for six months to have this service handle the most basic of services without any luck. They have a dedicated service provider at my mother-in-law’s independent living facility and we have contracted with them to give her her medication every morning. One simple task. And more than half the time they fail to complete it. Moreover, their communication has been VERY spotty, despite their committing to us to be in touch if they encounter any problems fulfilling their responsibilities. We cannot recommend this service at all.

My mom has been using Homewatch CareGivers of Cary since mid-May. It’s been working great. The people are always punctual. They always let me know if there’s a conflict of schedule. They do cleaning, meal preparation, grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions, and just taking a walk or spending time. It is great. They’re doing medication reminders, too. They were coming twice a week, four hours each day, but we just changed it starting this week to three times a week. My mom recently fell, and she needs a little more assistance. It was the same person coming in for the last couple of months, but she just got another job. We have a new person starting this week. It worked out well with the same person coming all the time.
Homewhat Caregivers have been very helpful and very organized. They keep in touch with you, and they are easy to get in touch with if you have a question or if you need to tell them anything. They’re excellent.

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.

Raleigh 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 Raleigh:
Resources for Seniors
Address: 1110 Navaho Drive, 4th Floor, Raleigh, NC 27609
Phone Number: (919) 872-7933
Resources for Seniors was founded in 1973 with the core mission of providing area seniors with home-based services that would allow them to maintain their independence as long as possible. Home modification and repair services can be found through this resource with payment determined based on household income. Resources for Seniors can also help coordinate transportation and other components of in-home care.
The Center for Volunteer Caregiving
Address: 1150 SE Maynard Road, Cary, NC 27511
Phone Number: (919) 460-0567
The Center for Volunteer Caregiving provides seniors with transportation assistance as well as light housekeeping and yard work, grocery shopping, companionship and respite support. The services provided are targeted toward seniors that want to continue living independently without family or friends nearby to offer a hand. All of the center’s services are free of charge, but donations are encouraged.
Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP)
Address: 220 Swinburne Street, 4th floor, Raleigh, NC 27620
Phone Number: (919) 212-7000
LIEAP is a federal program that helps Raleigh-area seniors with payment for their heating bills. There are eligibility requirements, but seniors get priority and may sign up for the program a month before other residents. Applicants must provide a phone number so that a caseworker can reach out if any additional information is necessary.
A Helping Hand
Address: 1502 West NC Highway 54, Suite 405, Durham, NC 27707
Phone Number: (919) 403-5555
This nonprofit organization offers respite care, senior companionship, medical transportation and home care services. While the group charges for its services, it works with people at all income levels through grants and charitable contributions to ensure that its services are in reach of any older adult that needs them.
Weatherization Assistance Program
Address: 217 West Jones Street, Raleigh, NC 27603
Phone Number: (919) 707-9198
A program of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, the Weatherization Assistance Program improves household safety and energy efficiency for low-income residents. The goal is to ensure that residents stay warm during the harsh winter months and cool in summer, with an emphasis on North Carolina’s senior population.
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.
