Charles House
Charles House is a well-established daytime eldercare home providing individualized, homelike care for seniors who have physical or mental difficulties. For 25 years it was in Carrboro, but is now off Sunrise Road on the edge of the Carol Woods campus. It is an independent non-profit, not officially tied to Carol Woods. Elders can come for varying number of days in the week and for varying hours, depending on the needs of their families. This allows family members to go to work or to have much needed respite time. There is a high ratio of trained staff to participants. This is supplemented by volunteers and students from UNC health care fields who get practical experience. In addition to the daycare facility, there are two local very small residential homes which follow the same philosophy, but care for people who no longer can live with their families. Volunteers can help at either location on a weekly schedule or only come one time, depending on what suits their desire. They can contact [email protected] for much more detailed information.
