In-home caregiver help in Jacksonville, NC
Connecting Jacksonville and Onslow County families — including Marine Corps households — with local in-home care providers.
If this is a medical emergency or someone is unsafe right now, call 911 immediately. This website does not provide emergency services.
Jacksonville families balance the rhythms of a Marine Corps community with the day-to-day reality of caring for an aging parent or spouse. Many of the calls we get come from adult children stationed elsewhere — sometimes overseas — trying to coordinate steady, reliable in-home care for a parent who lives off Western Boulevard, in Hubert, or out toward Sneads Ferry. Eastern NC Home Care Match is a neutral matching platform that helps Onslow County families connect with local in-home care providers without juggling a dozen agencies on their own.
What families need varies. Some are looking for a few hours of companion care, a check-in to make sure mom is eating and taking her medications. Others need hands-on personal care after a hospital stay at Onslow Memorial, dementia supervision, or 24-hour coverage when family is no longer enough. We listen first, ask the right questions about schedule, payer, and care needs, and then point you to local provider partners that may be a fit.

Local context: hospitals, neighborhoods, and ZIP codes
Onslow Memorial Hospital is the primary local hospital, and many of our Jacksonville home care requests start with a discharge from there. Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune serves active-duty service members and military beneficiaries. A network of skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and rehabs across Onslow County feed steady demand for in-home help after a short-term stay.

What in-home care costs around Jacksonville
Hourly in-home care rates in Eastern North Carolina vary by the type of help, total hours per week, and whether overnight or 24-hour coverage is needed. According to CareScout's 2025 Cost of Care data, the median hourly rate for non-medical home care in North Carolina is around $35 per hour, with most families landing between roughly $28 and $40 per hour depending on schedule and acuity. Short overnight or live-in arrangements are usually quoted differently than standard hourly care.
On an annual basis, Genworth and CareScout's most recent North Carolina figures put the median cost of a home health aide at roughly $68,640 per year for full-time care. Most families do not pay that full amount — they use part-time hours, family backup, and other supports to keep weekly costs manageable. Medicare generally does not pay for non-medical in-home care; Medicaid (through North Carolina's CAP/DA waiver and PACE programs) may help for those who qualify, and long-term care insurance, VA benefits like Aid & Attendance, and private pay are the most common funding sources.

A good fit for Jacksonville families who…
- Military and veteran families using a mix of private pay, Aid & Attendance, or long-term care insurance
- Adult children stationed elsewhere coordinating care for a parent in Jacksonville or the Camp Lejeune area
- Families wanting non-medical in-home help (companion, personal, dementia, post-hospital, respite, overnight)
When we may not be the best fit
- Active medical emergencies — call 911 or go to Onslow Memorial Hospital
- Skilled nursing visits ordered by a physician — that is Medicare home health, a different service
- Hospice or end-of-life medical care — we'll point you toward local hospice providers instead
