Home Care in Concord, NC

Paying for care is usually the first question families have, so we'll answer it right away. We accept private pay, long-term care insurance and veterans benefits, and we also provide home care for Medicaid CAP/DA and CAP/C members. That gives Concord families more than one way to cover care, and often more options than they expected.

We take a personal interest in each client and keep in steady contact with family members, so you always know how Mom or Dad is doing. Our home care services in Concord are shaped around your loved one's routines, their comfort and what matters most to them.

Every family's situation is a little different, so our in-home care in Concord starts with what your loved one needs right now and grows with them over time. Our caregivers, who we call CarePros, can help in a few main ways:

• Our senior home care in Concord, NC gives older adults help with the daily tasks that have gotten harder, so they can keep living comfortably and independently at home.
• A CarePro can be a friendly face through companion care with conversation, outings, meals and light housekeeping, along with rides to appointments and medication reminders.
• Some days call for more, and our CarePros offer hands-on help with bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting, always with patience and respect for your loved one's dignity.
• Care can fit your family's schedule, with hourly visits, overnight help, live-in care and 24-hour care, anywhere from a few hours a day up to shifts of 8 to 12 hours.
• Families living with memory loss can lean on CarePros trained in gentle communication, steady routines and home safety for Alzheimer's and dementia, so your loved one stays calm and engaged in familiar surroundings.
• Veterans and surviving spouses can receive home care shaped around a veteran's needs, with help accessing VA benefits they may be eligible for.

Every CarePro goes through a complete screening process before they ever care for your loved one, with background checks above and beyond industry standards, a drug screen and a driver's license check. All of our CarePros are employees, so they're bonded, insured and fully covered by workers' compensation. We take real care matching each client with the right CarePro, and our office takes urgent calls 24/7, day or night.

Why Concord Families Are Choosing Home Care Now

Concord has grown from about 105,000 residents in 2020 to nearly 117,000 today, and Cabarrus County grew by more than 9% in about four years. You can see it in the new neighborhoods and the busier roads, and in how many households here are balancing work, kids and an aging parent all at once.

Concord is also home to nearly 14,000 residents age 65 and older, roughly one in every eight people in the city. That's a lot of moms, dads and grandparents with deep roots in their neighborhoods, and staying home keeps them close to their church, their doctors and the friends they see every week.

The houses themselves matter, too. More than half of the homes in Concord were built before 2000, often without step-free entries or the bathroom safety features newer homes include. A couple of front steps or a tub you have to climb over can become a real worry as balance and strength change. Our free fall risk analysis looks at those trouble spots, and a CarePro can steady the walk to the car, help with bathing and keep the house safe and tidy from day to day.

Elderly care in Concord works best when it fits the home your loved one already has. Home care brings the help to them and grows as their needs change, so they can keep their own bed, their own kitchen and their own routine.

Paying for Home Care in Concord

A lot of families assume home care is private pay only and rule it out before they ask. TenderHearted accepts four kinds of payment, and here's how each one works.

Private pay comes with affordable rates and flexible shifts, so you can start with a few hours and add more as you need them. Long-term care insurance can help cover care when your loved one has a policy. Medicaid CAP/DA and CAP/C members can receive home care from us as well, which matters a great deal for families who count on those programs.

Cabarrus County is home to more than 11,500 veterans, so veterans benefits matter to a lot of families here. The VA Aid and Attendance pension can help eligible wartime veterans and surviving spouses pay for care at home. Because the application usually takes four to six months, TenderHearted offers an interest-free loan program during the Aid and Attendance application process. You can read more about eligibility and how the pension is used on our page about home care for veterans and their families.
