Arbor Acres Celebrates National Care at Home Month

Arbor Acres is celebrating National Care at Home Month this November by recognizing the staff of Fountain Hill Home Care, who support people in their homes at Arbor Acres and throughout Forsyth County. Every caregiver is welcomed into someone's home, and that work asks for skill and trust. This month is a chance to say thank you.

What Is Home Care?

Home care lets older adults keep living in the place they know, with help for the parts of the day that have become harder. Support comes to the home a person already has, and it can include personal care, meals, housekeeping, rides, and companionship. Home care is one point on a range of support, and Arbor Acres can help at every level of care as needs change.

When You Should Consider Home Care

The need for home care shows up in specific moments. A hospital stay ends and the return home goes more smoothly with a few weeks of steady help, or cooking and laundry begin to take more energy than they once did. For others, a diagnosis of Alzheimer's or another form of dementia calls for patient support in familiar surroundings.

These situations arise for residents of Arbor Acres and for people living in their own homes. Learning what services exist before they are needed makes it easier to choose the right level of help when the time comes.

Who Is Fountain Hill?

Fountain Hill Home Care by Arbor Acres is a locally owned and operated provider serving homes throughout Forsyth County since 2019. Residents who live independently at Arbor Acres can add in-home support without changing residences, and neighbors in homes across the area can receive the same care.

The Fountain Hill team is what makes that care work. Fountain Hill sends only fully vetted professionals into the home, and local staff coordinate each schedule so appointments run smoothly.

Celebrating the People Behind the Care

The work of home care happens inside people's homes, which makes it personal. Fountain Hill caregivers help with the routines that shape a day, from washing and dressing to meals, rides, and companionship, and they do it with compassion and respect for the person in front of them.

Arbor Acres and Fountain Hill are proud of every caregiver on their teams. National Care at Home Month is a fitting time to thank them for the care they provide, for the families they support, and for the trust that makes this work possible.
