"After rehab I was very concerned about receiving the health care needed at home. There was so much I couldn't do after fracturing my hip, to my surprise the help I received was really wonderful. The people that were sent were very professional, caring & kind and helped me tremendously. "

Amie has provided excellent new client support from the start - she responds quickly, consistently, and always follows through to address the issue to completion. Gabby worked with his LTC provider to ensure proper billing/payment processes were in place, is flexible with bookings and offers reasonable rates. Nora’s visits allowed for in-home diagnosis, medication advice and an experienced resource for medical concerns. Patrick has provided conscientious and empathetic companion care & support services.

"They are called Champion Home Health Care, and we have been using them for four months already. We have one caregiver, and if she can't make it, then there is an alternate. My dad likes them, they do get along, they come in and keep him entertained, help him keep things on track, that kind of stuff. He has memory loss, and he can't even really tell you for sure what it is they come to do, but he does enjoy them coming to see him, and there is somebody to talk to -- that kind of thing. I've been happy so far with what they do. One of the things that I like about them and that I like very much is my dad has a very complicated medication receipt, and they have a CNA that comes out to see him every other day, and then there is an RN that comes out to oversee his medication dispensing. We have like electronic boxes, and she works with his doctors' offices to get prescriptions and then fill the boxes and all of that. She takes care of all of that; I don't have to call the doctor's office, and that is a huge relief. That is what I love the most about them. "

"We are using Interim HealthCare of Port St Lucie, FL for my mother-in-law. They provide help with occupational therapy and physical therapy. I believe they are also sending a nurse three times a week to assess her feet and to re-apply bandages two to three times a week. For the most part, the caregivers are okay. We have had some issues with scheduling. We want them there between 10:00 and 2:00, and there are times when they cannot accommodate those hours. And it gets a little frustrating at times. They seem to be very competent, and they know what they're doing and saying. They need to improve more on scheduling towards the customers' desires."

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Fort Pierce:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
