Family Learning Center
Our Family Learning Center provides online training for families who are caring for loved ones. The modules offer detailed guidance for dealing with Alzheimer’s, memory loss, fall risks, the stress of being a caregiver and more.
Acorn owner, Lorenzo Mejia, was recently featured on ABC 11 Eyewitness News, discussing the Center.
This is a free service. You do not have to be a client.

Caregiver Selection Process
We put caregivers though a rigorous, multi-step interview process and competency assessment to give you peace of mind as you make arrangements for yourself or a loved one. Our process is so stringent that we select fewer than 10% of the individuals who apply.

Our Mission
Our goal at Acorn Home Care Services is to provide compassionate, non-medical care to seniors, those recovering from surgery, new and expectant mothers and other loved ones. Options include 24-hour live-in care, weekly, weekend or hourly care. We can arrange for services to individuals residing in assisted-living facilities and nursing homes. We serve Chapel Hill, Durham, Hillsborough, Pittsboro and surrounding areas in Orange, Chatham, Durham and Wake counties.
Acorn operates as a registry and refers highly qualified caregivers who are self-employed. Our caregivers are carefully screened through a meticulous, multi-step process. Unlike caregivers at other agencies who may simply work as hourly employees, Acorn caregivers are committed to the home care profession and are passionate about helping others.
Contact us today to schedule a no-obligation visit at your home to see if Acorn is the right fit for you or your loved ones.
