The Best Caregivers!

This is an opinion, of course, but we believe that the caregivers you get through Acorn are superior.  They are caregiving professionals who have committed themselves to caring for elderly people and those suffering with dementia, Alzheimer’s and other conditions.  We believe they are the best in the Chapel Hill – Durham – Raleigh area. Each one has gone through an extensive multi-step screening process. In addition, because of our registry model, clients have a direct relationship with their caregivers; as a result, caregivers often enjoy their clients more and have greater commitment toward them.
