Personal Care
Our Home Care Program is designed to provide elderly adults with homemaker/home care services that enable them to remain in their homes rather than face confinement in a nursing facility. Eligibility requirements specify that the individual receiving home care services be at least 60 years of age, have a functional disability, and live in Randolph County. An assessment will be completed to determine home care needs. RCS employs Level 1 Certified Nursing Assistants and homemakers. Supervision is provided under the direction of a registered
nurse. The Home Care Program is licensed under the Division of Facilities Services, NC Department of Human Resources. Regional Consolidated Services’ Home Care Program is funded through the Title III Older Americans Act, NC State Funds for the Elderly, and United Way of Randolph County. Persons receiving assistance can make monthly contributions to the program based on a sliding fee scale. Private pay clients are also accepted!
