A Helping Hand was established as a non-profit in Chapel Hill, NC in 1995 to provide support services to older adults, filling an unmet need by providing access healthcare. The organization also serves younger adults who have a temporary or ongoing need due to an accident, illness, injury or disability. It is not part of a franchise or national corporation. Any adult 65+ years of age is eligible to receive services and assistance is provided to people of all income levels 7 days a week/24 hours a day. Assistance includes companionship, transportation, in-home assistance.

Our key programs are designed to increase access to health care, increase home independence, and educate future care providers for older adults and adults with disabilities. Please see our Services and our Service Learning Internship pages for more information.

The service area includes Orange, Durham, Chatham and western Wake counties and is available across county and state lines.

A Helping Hand is fully insured and bonded.
