READ MORELocated roughly 20 miles north of Miami and 10 miles south of Fort Lauderdale, the Florida city of Hollywood is cited in Caring’s Senior Living Report 2022 for its senior-friendly housing construction, temperate weather and affordable health care. Three Miami-area hospitals are ranked by U.S. News & World Report as among the top 10 in the state: Cleveland Clinic Weston Hospital, Baptist Health South Miami and University of Miami Hospital. Seniors who hire home care services in Hollywood pay an average of $4,195 per month, according to the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey. Home health care is slightly more expensive than home care, which does not require staffing medical professionals.
Below we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Hollywood area – complete with services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled resources to help seniors and their families to access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

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.
Older adults in Hollywood receive various kinds of assistance from the programs and organizations in the following chart. Some help seniors find ways of paying for services, while others offer their services for free.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times 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.
