READ MOREFlorida's warm weather and lack of a state income tax has made it a popular retirement spot for seniors, so it's no surprise that a full 26.5% of Palmetto's 13,614 residents are aged 65 and older, which is much higher than the national average of just 16.8%. Specialized health care is easily accessible, as the area is home to the Manatee Memorial Hospital, the HCA Florida Blake Hospital and more than 20 area doctors who specialize in geriatrics. For those who need some help with the activities of daily living, area home care is available for roughly $5,720 per month. Seniors requiring ongoing medical assistance, such as physical therapy and help with medications, may be better served by home health care instead.
Below we've compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Palmetto 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.
