Our Apex, Garner, and Fuquay-Varina office serves Clayton, NC and surrounding Johnston County communities, including Smithfield, Selma, Wilson&#8217;s Mills, and Archer Lodge. Over 40 years of high quality care experience sits behind the team you actually meet at your kitchen table.<\/p><p>Every caregiver is screened through our 7-step process and matched by personality, not by who happens to be available that day. There&#8217;s no long-term contract to begin and no minimum hours. The Family Room portal lets out-of-state family see visit notes from anywhere, so an adult child working in Charlotte or living in Virginia has the same access as a son who lives ten minutes away in Garner. We&#8217;re committed to helping seniors and older adults age in their own home with the respect, dignity, and independence they deserve, and we serve Clayton families with the same care we&#8217;d want for our own parents.<\/p><p>Learn more about our home care services or call us anytime at (919) 363-6688 for a free in-home consultation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bde3c90 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"bde3c90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/apex-garner-and-fuquay-varina\/contact\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Get Care Now<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a61e40a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a61e40a\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae8071c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ae8071c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/apex-garner-and-fuquay-varina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2025\/12\/pcah-2025-images-232-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-759\" alt=\"Personal Care\" srcset=\"https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/apex-garner-and-fuquay-varina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2025\/12\/pcah-2025-images-232-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/apex-garner-and-fuquay-varina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2025\/12\/pcah-2025-images-232-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/apex-garner-and-fuquay-varina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2025\/12\/pcah-2025-images-232-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/apex-garner-and-fuquay-varina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2025\/12\/pcah-2025-images-232-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/apex-garner-and-fuquay-varina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2025\/12\/pcah-2025-images-232-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/preferhome.com\/locations\/apex-garner-and-fuquay-varina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2025\/12\/pcah-2025-images-232-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-613c3a6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"613c3a6\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cbbb5a7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cbbb5a7\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f301e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4f301e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b911e19 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"b911e19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;expanded&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.
