Everyone deserves to feel supported at home.

Care can make a meaningful difference in everyday life. When money is tight, finding that support shouldn’t feel out of reach.

Our Care Assistance Program offers non-medical home care at $23 per hour for approved applicants in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. It’s here for individuals and families facing limited incomes or financial hardship.

No account needed. No commitment to book care.

Caring for the community we call home.

Strong communities are built by people who show up for one another.

Through this program, LoLo reduces its own fee to help make care more affordable. Together with participating local caregivers who share our commitment to supporting their neighbors, we’re working to bring dependable, compassionate help within reach of more families.

Whether it’s companionship, help with everyday routines, or support for a loved one, our purpose is simple: to help people feel cared for, respected, and connected at home.

Neighbors supporting neighbors. That’s the heart of LoLo.
