It depends on your loved one’s needs—but for many families in Chapel Hill and beyond, in-home care offers the most personalized, flexible, and comforting option.
Most older adults we serve want to stay in the home they love—whether that’s a cozy house in Carrboro or a retirement community in Pittsboro. In-home care makes that possible by providing the right level of support without the disruption of a move.
Home care vs. assisted living
Assisted living might work for those who prefer a community setting, but in-home care allows your loved one to:
- Stay in familiar surroundings
- Receive one-on-one attention from a consistent Care Pro
- Keep their own routines, pets, and preferences
- Avoid adjusting to a new environment or staff
Home care vs. hiring privately
Hiring an independent caregiver may seem less expensive—but it comes with risks. You're responsible for taxes, liability, background checks, and finding backup if they can’t show up.
With Home Instead Chapel Hill, you get:
- Fully vetted, trained, and insured Care Pros
- 24/7 local support and backup coverage
- A Care Manager who oversees quality and communication
- Peace of mind knowing we handle the logistics
