Home Care Resources in Wilmington, NC

While home care allows people to safely remain in their own homes, it doesn’t mean they have to stay at home. Our caregivers can offer you the opportunity to enjoy some of the many events, activities, and great restaurants New Hanover County and Brunswick County have to offer.

Our caregivers can accompany you to medical appointments as well as to parks, libraries, church services, theaters, museums, or to participate in one of the many activities at our senior centers. They can take you out to Greenfield Lake, Long Leaf Park or Airlie Gardens during azalea season, or attend a local concert with you. Do you miss walking around a mall? A caregiver could also accompany you to Mayfaire, Independence Mall, or Lumina Station. Go for a stroll along the Cape Fear River or Carolina Beach boardwalk, enjoy a walk on the beach or take a stroll back in time aboard the Battleship North Carolina.

For those who wish to stay at home, you can ask a caregiver to bring the community to you by bringing you a meal from your favorite restaurant or library books about a new subject you’d like to learn.
