What Is Home Care?

Our senior home care in Indian River & St. Lucie Counties, FL, includes a broad range of medical, therapeutic, and support services provided by trained home care providers. These services are delivered in the comfort of one’s home to individuals recovering from illness, living with chronic or terminal conditions, or needing help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, or mobility.
Home care is ideal for individuals who prefer to remain in their homes but require ongoing support beyond what family or friends can offer. Many seniors in Vero Beach are choosing non-institutional care options to maintain their independence as their physical needs evolve. Likewise, younger adults recovering from surgery or managing disabilities are turning to home care providers for personalized care at home.
As hospital stays become shorter, more clients depend on non-skilled home care providers to manage their recovery at home. For many, we offer a safer, more comfortable alternative to institutional care, with services tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
Why Choose Home Care?
Home care is cost-effective. Numerous studies have shown that home care is generally the most cost-effective care option. Used prior to, in place of, or after hospitalization, home care can reduce the length of stay and save money over the course of an illness.
Home care keeps people independent. With agencies’ assistance, persons of all ages can continue to function as viable members of the community.
Home care keeps families together. The joy of being with loved ones is particularly important in times of illness, and keeping families together has a positive social and economic impact on our communities.
Home care involves the individual and the family in the care that is delivered. Home care is patient-centered — it empowers individuals and their families to assume greater responsibility for their own health, and to assist them in making informed health care decisions.
Length of Care
- Hourly: Hourly care can be provided by an agency’s companion or homemaker, certified nursing assistant (CNA), home health aide (HHA), licensed practical nurse (LPN), or registered nurse (RN). The agency’s caregiver can provide care available under their licensure/certification, as well as companion/homemaker services. A minimum of four continuous hours of care is required.
- 24-hour care: This level of care and service is when an agency’s home health professional is awake and ready to attend to a patient’s needs 24 hours a day. The level of service usually, with rare exceptions, applies to home health aide care. This level of care requires multiple shifts by care providers over the 24-hour period.
Types of Care
Care for each Client is personalized by their needs and the care plan that is developed by our Care Managers with the help of the Client and their family. Our shifts begin at 4 hours and can fulfill a 24/7 schedule. We cover a wide range of care including, but not limited to:
- Companion Care: The goal of companion care is to reduce isolation by promoting social interaction with supervision, helping with homemaker services, and assist with basic daily routines.
- Respite Care: Care is designed to provide relief to the primary caregiver (often the spouse / family) of a client.
- Memory Care: Support for memory care needs is expansive to cover and support the variations of memory support.
- Personal Care: Assistance with the personal activities of daily living such as morning care, evening care, bathing, grooming, and more.
- Post Rehab / Hospitalization: Transitional care after discharge from a hospital or rehab to assist with adjustment into your daily routines.
- Total Care: Complete, hands-on care supporting our clients who benefit from a more direct approach.
