About Aegis Home Care

Aegis Home Care was born out of a need to care for others and a desire to create a positive service for our communities. Although launching our agency is the culmination of years of planning, ultimately we have one simple goal: to ensure that a phone call to Aegis Home Care is like calling home. Our commitment to you is that we will listen to you, help with your specific needs, and provide caregivers that you can always rely on and trust.

Protecting and supporting vulnerable people is at the heart of our company - that's why we chose "Aegis" as our name (it means 'protection, support, and advocacy'). Whether lending a hand to an older adult in order to allow them to "age in place" or providing assistance to a family with a special needs child, we strive to offer the most professional and personalized home care available...and we will always be your advocate for safe and effective care in your place of residence.

We are licensed to provide home care in the following North Carolina counties:

Matthew has worked in medical communities across North Carolina during his 19 years in healthcare. During that time he worked for healthcare providers (the Duke University Health System), health insurers (Blue Cross/Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Cigna, and Coventry Health Care), and the healthcare consulting firm that helped design the Carolina ACCESS II Medicaid program and a home & community-based long-term care project (the SAIL [Senior Alternatives for Independent Living] programs). 
 
Although his roles have been varied, Matthew's core experiences have focused on healthcare financing, strategic planning, and contract/regulatory compliance.
