At Givens Home First, we take pride in offering a comprehensive Home Care program designed to cater to unique needs. Maintaining independence and staying in the comfort of familiar surroundings are essential to maintaining health and well-being. That’s why our licensed Home Care agencies encompass a wide range of person-centered options, providing clients with the support and care they deserve.

We offer an array of personalized services to address specific needs, from in-home aide and companionship services to respite and nursing support.

For Older Adults and Their Loved Ones:
Our caregivers support older adults and their families throughout Buncombe and Mecklenburg counties and surrounding communities. By easing the challenges of daily living, we help clients maintain independence, safety, and quality of life at home.

Home Assessment:
To ensure clients receive the most appropriate care, a Givens Home First team member will conduct an initial assessment and ongoing evaluations, as required by the State of North Carolina. This personalized approach allows us to create a customized care plan that adapts to evolving needs, preferences, and health requirements.

Assess

To begin services, a Givens Home First registered nurse completes an in-home assessment. There is no cost for Givens residents; for individuals living in the broader community, an assessment fee applies and will be discussed prior to scheduling.

Assess
Plan

Our team will partner with you to design a plan of care that meets your unique needs. Home Care is paid out of pocket, though many Long Term Care Insurance plans contribute. If you are a Givens resident, your social worker can review your policy to determine eligibility.

Once the plan of care has been designed, it will be time to welcome us into your home!

Reassess

As required by the State of North Carolina, all Home Care clients must be reassessed every 90 days (or when needs change) to review and refine the care plan.

We believe in providing accessible and affordable care.
