Browse public home-care, home-health, HCBS, workforce, payer, and Piedmont Triad evidence. Each record keeps its source, date, scope, and caveats close to the figure.
Evidence labels are part of the result.
Verified figures, estimates, occupational proxies, and data gaps are intentionally distinct—so a missing measure is never disguised as a fact.

Public occupational data are all-industry context, not proof that a specific agency can cover a future schedule.

Non-medical / personal home care
Frame a workforce questionMedicare-certified skilled home health
Frame a public-evidence questionPiedmont Triad workforce context
The combined Winston-Salem and Greensboro–High Point workforce proxy below uses May 2023 BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS). It covers employment across all industries, not the number of home-care agency employees or exact agency job titles.
| Occupation | Context | Estimated employment |
|---|---|---|
| Home health and personal care aides | Non-medical / direct care | 8,390 |
| Nursing assistants | Non-medical / direct care | 8,710 |
| Registered nurses | Skilled home health | 14,760 |
| Licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses | Skilled home health | 2,410 |
| Medical and health services managers | Operations context | 1,950 |
Skilled home health
Use the two BLS MSA tables to review public occupation-level wage measures for registered nurses and licensed practical/licensed vocational nurses. They are not a Medicare-certified home-health agency pay schedule or a wage guarantee.
Non-medical / direct care
Review BLS OEWS occupation-level wage measures for home health and personal care aides, alongside nursing assistants where relevant. They do not establish a universal personal-care agency rate or predict an individual employer’s pay.
Wage-method limitation: CareSignal does not present a single “average caregiver pay rate” for the Triad here because an occupational estimate is not an agency-specific rate. BLS wage measures vary by occupation, MSA, period, employer mix, credentials, shift, and benefits; follow the linked source tables for the applicable occupation and geography.
North Carolina public guidance
A directional public-information flow for prospective operators planning a North Carolina non-medical home-care agency. It is structured for orientation, not as a substitute for the current DHSR process.
Step 1 of 7
Define the non-medical services, intended counties, service area, and operating structure before preparing an application.
Step 2 of 7
Read the applicable statutes, rules, forms, and DHSR guidance for the license type before relying on a checklist.
Step 3 of 7
Develop required policies, administrator and staffing plans, documentation, and operational processes that match current requirements.
Step 4 of 7
Use the current DHSR application instructions and forms; retain copies and track DHSR requests for additional information.
Step 5 of 7
Respond to review questions, inspections, or findings within the process and timeframes DHSR communicates.
Step 6 of 7
Do not begin operating until DHSR has issued the required authorization for the approved scope.
Step 7 of 7
Monitor current renewal, reporting, staffing, and operational obligations after authorization.
Official federal sources
A curated reference layer for public Medicare, Medicaid, workforce, and demographic context. Each card links to the exact official dataset, report, or tool—not an agency homepage.
Public dataset discovery
Search the federal catalog for dataset metadata relevant to home health, non-medical/personal home care, caregiver workforce, aging, Medicare, Medicaid, and HCBS/LTSS.
Catalog.Data.gov is a discovery layer. Review the linked source, methods, dates, and scope before using a listing as evidence.
The search loads up to 8 metadata records after a short pause or when you submit. Medicare-certified skilled home health, non-medical/personal home care, and broader HCBS/LTSS have different scopes and should not be treated as interchangeable.
Use these sources for the Medicare-certified skilled home-health provider landscape—not for non-medical or private-pay agency counts.
Start here to identify the official CMS home-health datasets and their data dictionaries.
Use the direct agency dataset for Medicare-registered home-health provider lookup and published ratings fields.
These sources describe Medicare-certified skilled home health. They do not represent all home care, private-pay demand, or agency financial performance.
Use the direct national CMS dataset to interpret national home-health quality-measure context.
Medicaid HCBS/LTSS is broader than non-medical/personal home care and is not a total home-care market measure.
Start with CMS’s official report index for state and national LTSS users, expenditures, methods, and rebalancing context.
Use the direct 2023 report when reviewing the HCBS share of Medicaid LTSS users and expenditures.
Use the official program overview to orient Medicaid HCBS policy context before comparing state-specific material.
Use CMS measure references to understand LTSS quality context and link through to measure-specific documentation.
Use these labor-market tools for occupational context; they do not measure one agency’s staffing, retention, or compensation plan.
Use the direct BLS occupation page for national pay, employment, projections, and state/area data links.
Use these sources to size and compare local demographic context. They do not estimate private-pay market size, payer mix, referrals, or revenue.
Use the ACS Data Profiles when you need a transparent, standard set of local demographic, economic, housing, and social context.
Use Census Data Explorer to select the correct table, vintage, and geography for more detailed comparisons.

Where are neighborhoods, development patterns, planning areas, and map layers relevant to a service-area or site-planning question?
What published county economic-development layers help orient a location, infrastructure, or business-environment question?
Local economic-development resources
Local planning and economic-development resources for regional workforce, employer, site, and support context—not a substitute for regulated care, reimbursement, or agency-performance analysis.
What workforce, education, employer, and community indicators should be considered when evaluating local business conditions?
