Caring Angels with Helping Hands & Warm Hearts
We are a small, family-owned agency helping seniors and adults across Central Arkansas stay in the home they love. You will know who is coming, and you will know who to reach.
Care built around one family at a time.
Locally owned and operated in Little Rock.
Welcome
We are glad you found us. Choosing help for someone you love is a tender decision, and we want the first step to feel simple.
Charlotte's Home Care is a family-owned, non-medical home care agency here in Little Rock, founded by Charlotte Butler-Rice after more than 25 years in home care. She started out on her own in 2011 and built the agency the way she still runs it: personally. We support seniors who want to stay independent, adults living with a disability, veterans and their families, and anyone recovering from an illness, an injury or surgery. Our caregivers help with the everyday things that make home feel manageable again, from a morning routine to a warm meal to a ride to the doctor.
Because we are small, you get the same faces and the same point of contact every time. That is the whole idea, and it is the part large agencies find hardest to deliver.

Learn moreThe difference
Home care is unusual among services, because quality depends almost entirely on one thing: whether the same person keeps coming back. Everything else in the brochure stops mattering when they do not.
Charlotte owns the agency and runs it. That is not a marketing position, it is the operating model.
We know the hospitals, the neighborhoods, and the drive between Benton and Cabot on a Friday afternoon.
Hours change, recovery speeds up, a hospital stay happens. We adjust without a month of paperwork.
Errands, the store, the salon and a walk around the block. Staying home should not mean staying indoors.
How it starts
Four steps, no obligation at any point, and nothing begins until you have read and agreed the plan in writing.
One message or one form. No pressure, no obligation to book anything, and no cost for the conversation.
We sit down together, meet your loved one, and look at how the day really runs rather than how a form describes it.
Tasks, timings and preferences, in plain language. You read it and approve it before anyone starts.
You meet the caregiver before the first working visit, and we stay in touch to see how it is settling in.
When to call
Most people contact us the week something changes. If any of this sounds like your household, it is a good time to talk, and it is usually easier before a crisis than after one.
Mornings have become the hard partShe is managing the rest of the day, but washing and dressing now take everything she has.
Coming home from hospitalHe should not be on his own for a few weeks, and the discharge date came sooner than anyone expected.
You are running on emptyYou have been the caregiver for months, you are not sleeping, and you have stopped seeing your own friends.
You live out of stateYou want eyes on the house a few days a week, and someone who will tell you honestly what they see.
An adult child needs daily supportSteady, respectful help at home for an adult living with a disability, built around what they can already do.
The house has gone quietAfter a spouse dies, the days lose their shape. Regular company does more than people expect.
Paying for care
Home care is priced by the hour, and the honest answer is that it depends on how much help is needed and how often. Here is what moves the number, so nothing on your bill is a surprise.
We quote you plainly after the home visit, in writing, before any care starts. Most families begin with fewer hours than they expect and add to it once everyone has settled. If home care is not the right fit for your situation, we will tell you that too.
Pulaski, Saline, Faulkner, Lonoke and Garland counties
Charlotte's Home Care provides non-medical care in the client's own home, in ten communities across central Arkansas. We are based on Interstate 30 East in Little Rock.
A map of central Arkansas. Little Rock sits near the centre on the south bank of the Arkansas River, with North Little Rock and Sherwood just across the river to the north-east and Maumelle upriver to the north-west. Conway is at the top of the map and Cabot at the upper right. Wrightsville lies south-east of Little Rock, Bryant and Benton to the south-west, and Hot Springs alone in the far south-west corner. The same ten communities are listed as text below.

Good questions
These are the questions families actually put to us first. If yours is not here, ask it. We would rather answer honestly than have you guess.
Non-medical home care is help with daily living rather than medical treatment. A caregiver assists with bathing, dressing, meals, laundry, errands, reminders and company. It is different from home health, which is clinical care ordered by a doctor and delivered by nurses or therapists. Many families use one, some use both, and the two work fine alongside each other.
Home care is practical and personal support with everyday life. Home health is clinical: wound care, injections, physical therapy, nursing assessments. We provide home care only. If your loved one needs clinical care we will say so rather than stretching what we do.
Because we are small and local, and we intend to stay that way. You will not be handed between departments. The person who reads your enquiry knows your family's situation, your caregiver stays the same week to week, and decisions get made the same day rather than escalated somewhere else.
The signs are usually quiet ones. Mail piling up, the same shirt worn several days running, food going out of date in the fridge, missed appointments, or a fall that got brushed off. If you have started worrying between visits, that is usually the moment to have a conversation.
In some circumstances, yes. Arkansas runs programs that let an eligible person direct their own care and choose who provides it, which can include a family member. Eligibility rules are specific and they change, so we will point you to the right state office rather than guess at your situation.
It depends on the hours you need and where you live. Tell us what you are looking for and we will give you a real answer, including if the honest answer is that we cannot cover it yet.
Life moves. Contact us and we will rearrange. We will explain any notice period plainly in your service agreement so there is nothing buried in small print.
