The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Manatee County, FL for 2025

"My husband gets in-home-care from Home Instead. They like what they’re doing, they want to help and they’re very good. We had several different ladies come but they’re all very good. They’re wonderful caregivers. They provide anything he needs. They make him breakfast, lunch, they take him for walks and they do his wash. They do everything. "

"Visiting Angels referred a wonderful caregiver to me for my grandmother. She's a great companion and helped my grandmother when she was unable to things herself. Would definitely use them again. "

"Company made sure we had a compatable caregiver for my wife. First caregiver was not a good a good match. The second one seems to be working out very well for my wife and caregiver. They meet my schedule we wanted."

"We're using Right at Home Sarasota County for my aunt and uncle. They send a nurse once a week to count out their medications and to do a weekly lookover, making sure they're eating well, they're not dehydrated, they're not losing weight, and that the care plan is being followed. Then they have non-nursing staff, just regular caregivers, to care for them 24 hours. They have two shifts a day, 12-hour shifts each one, and they care for both my uncle and my aunt. There's a big difference among staff. Some of them we've had to ask them to replace. Some of them have become beloved virtual family members because of how much they care about my aunt and uncle. When my cousin and I took over the care of my uncle and aunt we called hospice, because we thought my aunt was going to die soon because she had not been receiving any kind of personalized care and had only been eating BOOST liquid, and so she was malnourished. She was anemic. Her electrolytes were bad. Her protein level was low, and she had a wound on her foot that made it impossible for her to walk from bedsores. All of those conditions that I just mentioned have reversed, and she's now able to get out of bed. She's able to stand and walk. She's able to use her fingers to feed herself some kinds of food, not anything that requires a fork or a spoon. She can't handle a fork or a spoon, so she has to have the caregiver sitting right there with her actually feeding her. It's expensive though. It's $35 an hour, so it's about $6,600 a week for 24-hour care."
