Nursing home care is usually the best option for seniors with conditions that require close observation by doctors. In Raleigh, such care is roughly 30% more expensive than in-home care, averaging $6,996 monthly. Assisted living represents a 7% increase over in-home care at $5,388 monthly. Adult day health care is much less expensive than all other types at $1,300 monthly, although it includes light medical services such as wound care and medication management. However, this option is usually insufficient for all a senior’s care needs and often must be supplemented with other types of caregiving.

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.
The resources in the following chart help Raleigh seniors stay connected to their community, find legal representation and keep their homes in good repair. Some serve all North Carolina residents, while others serve only residents of Wake County or Durham County; Raleigh is in parts of both counties.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Triple J Area Agency on Aging | (919) 627-0080 | This organization works as a portal to senior services in and around Raleigh. In addition to providing limited assistance with respite care, it can help seniors find and apply for programs that help with home repair and energy costs. |
| Wake County Meals on Wheels | (919) 833-1749 | Homebound seniors in Wake County may use this service to receive hot meals delivered directly to their doorsteps five days a week. The service doubles as a regular wellness check, helping ensure participants maintain a personal connection with the community. |
| Project Access Health Equipment Loan Program | (919) 748-1022 | This program provides free short-to-medium-term loans of medical equipment for seniors in need. The program's inventory includes mobility and safety equipment, such as wheelchairs, canes and transfer benches. Some small assistive devices, such as shoe horns and dressing sticks, are also available. |
| Legal Aid of North Carolina Senior Law Project | (866) 219-5262 | LANC lawyers provide free legal help to all North Carolina residents aged 60 and up. This pro bono firm can assist seniors in fighting against eviction and foreclosure, drawing up wills, assigning powers of attorney, claiming public benefits and other issues of landlord-tenant law and elder law. |
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.
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.
