If you’re starting to wonder whether your loved one is safe at home—or if you’re feeling overwhelmed by caregiving—it might be time to explore in-home care.

At Home Instead Burlington, we’ve helped hundreds of families across Alamance County recognize those early signs and take action before a crisis occurs.

Here are some signs your loved one may be ready for care:

• Missed medications or increasing forgetfulness
• Difficulty with mobility, bathing, or daily hygiene
• Isolation or changes in mood or engagement
• Unpaid bills or stacks of unopened mail
• Fatigue or burnout from trying to manage care alone

From Graham to Elon to Mebane, we’re here to help your loved one stay safe and supported in the home they love.

Caregiving can be incredibly rewarding—but also incredibly exhausting. You might be helping out of love, but that doesn’t mean you have to do it all alone.

At Home Instead Burlington, we’ve delivered over 589,000 hours of care to help families regain balance, reduce stress, and provide their loved ones with consistent, compassionate support.

Home care can help when:

• You’re balancing caregiving with work or other family responsibilities
• You’re worried about safety, especially after a recent fall or hospitalization
• You want companionship and engagement for your loved one
• You’re feeling stressed, stretched thin, or emotionally drained

Whether your loved one is near Alamance Regional or living independently in Mebane or Gibsonville, we’ll meet them where they are—with care that fits your family.

It depends on your loved one’s needs—but for many families in Burlington and the surrounding communities, in-home care offers the most flexibility and familiarity.

In-home care offers:

• Personalized, one-on-one care in the home your loved one knows
• Support that adapts as needs change
• Continuity and consistency from the same Care Pro
• The ability to keep pets, routines, and community connections

Home Instead vs. hiring privately:

Hiring someone on your own may seem more affordable—but it comes with added responsibilities:

• Managing payroll, taxes, and liability
• No guaranteed backup if the caregiver cancels
• No professional oversight or training

With Home Instead Burlington, you get:

• Vetted, trained, and insured employees
• Backup care and 24/7 support
• A locally managed care experience you can count on
• No long-term contracts—just care that works for your family

In-home care is personalized support for daily living—from companionship to help with personal care—delivered where your loved one feels safest: home.

Here’s how we do it at Home Instead Burlington:

1. Start with a free consultation. We get to know your loved one’s routines, needs, and personality—at home or virtually.
2. Create a care plan. We’ll design a flexible plan that could include help with hygiene, meals, dementia support, transportation, or around-the-clock care.
3. Match with a Care Pro. We pair your loved one with a caregiver based on personality, skills, and schedule—someone they’ll enjoy seeing regularly.
4. Start care—usually within 48 hours. We move quickly to get the right support in place, with regular check-ins along the way.
5. Stay connected. We offer 24/7 local office support and real-time updates for families.

We call them Care Pros because they bring more than help. They bring training, consistency, and compassion into every visit.

What makes our Burlington team different:

• Carefully screened and background-checked
• Employees (not contractors)—we handle taxes, scheduling, and insurance
• Skilled in dementia care, chronic condition support, and fall prevention
• Matched for compatibility with your loved one
• Backed by a local team that’s available 24/7

Whether it’s support after a hospital stay, memory care in Elon, or companionship in Graham, our Care Pros show up ready to make a difference.
