Premium Private Home Care
for Charlotte & Raleigh Families
No waitlists. No insurance paperwork. Just exceptional caregivers — ready when you are.
When your family needs care now — not in six weeks — private pay gives you the flexibility to choose your caregiver, set your own schedule, and start within 24 to 48 hours. At Carolina Home Health Care, we've been trusted by NC families since 2004 because we hold every caregiver to The Mom Standard: we only send someone we'd trust with our own mother.
Why Families Choose Private Pay Home Care
Private pay puts you in control. There's no insurance company deciding how many hours of care your loved one "qualifies" for — you decide what they need, and we deliver it.
Care Starts in 24–48 Hours
No prior authorizations, no insurance approvals, no waiting. We match you with a caregiver and begin care almost immediately.
You Choose Your Caregiver
We carefully match based on personality, experience, and your family's preferences. If it's not the right fit, we'll find someone who is.
Completely Flexible Scheduling
A few hours a week, overnight shifts, weekends, or around-the-clock live-in care. Your schedule, your terms.
What's Included with Private Pay Care
Every service we offer is available through private pay — with no restrictions on hours or visit frequency.
Personal Care & Daily Living
Dignified assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, mobility, and toileting. We help your loved one maintain independence and comfort in their own home.
Companionship & Social Care
Meaningful conversation, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, and transportation to appointments. Companionship that keeps your loved one engaged and safe.
Alzheimer's & Memory Care
Specialized dementia care with trained caregivers who understand redirection, safety protocols, and compassionate communication for memory-loss patients.
Post-Surgery & Hospital Discharge
Coming home from Atrium Health or Novant? We provide transitional care to prevent readmission — medication reminders, mobility help, and wound monitoring.
Respite Care for Family Caregivers
Need a break? Our caregivers step in for a few hours, a weekend, or a full week so you can rest, travel, or simply recharge — without worrying.
Why Families Trust Carolina Home Health Care
Family-Owned Since 2004
We're not a franchise or a staffing agency. We're a family-run company that has earned the trust of NC families for over 20 years — one caregiver at a time.
CHAP-Certified Quality
We voluntarily meet the highest standards in the home care industry through CHAP accreditation — the same body that certifies hospitals and health systems.
The Mom Standard
Every caregiver we hire passes a rigorous background check, skills assessment, and one final test: would we trust this person with our own mother? If not, they don't work here.
100+ Experienced Caregivers
Our team of CNAs and home health aides, supervised by registered nurses, means we always have the right person available — with the right experience for your loved one's specific needs.
