Home Care in Boca Raton, FL
Why Choose In-Home Care?
Senior Pros refers caregivers for home care in Boca Raton from our Palm Beach County office, which is right here in town on Beracasa Way. Caregivers referred by Senior Pros can help your loved one with daily support, companionship, personal care, Alzheimer's and dementia care, and overnight and live-in care. Same-day caregiver referrals are often available when you need someone quickly, and it all starts with a free in-home consultation.
Home Care From Our Boca Raton Office
Our Palm Beach County office is at 7025 Beracasa Way, Suite 202A, Boca Raton, FL 33433, and our license number is 30212454. Senior Pros is a locally owned, Florida-licensed nurse registry, and caregivers referred through Senior Pros are independent contractors of the client rather than employees of the registry. That means in-home care in Boca Raton is arranged by a local team that understands what families here need and can refer a caregiver to your loved one's door quickly.
Same-day caregiver referrals are one of the things families appreciate most about us. It's there for the urgent moments, like a hospital discharge that comes sooner than expected or a change at home that just can't wait.
Our team is available 24/7 for emergencies, so there's always someone to talk to, day or night. You can also always ask to speak directly with the owner, any time you have a question or a concern.
Care starts with a free in-home consultation. We visit your loved one at home and get to know their routines and preferences, so we can refer a caregiver who fits what they need and when they need it. You and the caregiver then agree on the care plan. Our team also serves families across the Palm Beach County communities near Boca Raton, from the same local office.
Home Care Services in Boca Raton
Senior home care in Boca Raton covers the everyday things that start to feel harder with age. Caregivers referred by Senior Pros can help with medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping and laundry, getting around the house and moving safely from bed to chair, and transportation and errands around town. You and the caregiver can adjust the care plan at any time as your loved one's needs change.
The need for a helping hand tends to grow later in life. Nearly three in ten Boca Raton residents 75 and older live with a disability, compared with fewer than one in ten of those between 65 and 74. That's often the stage where a little help with bathing, dressing or a trip to the doctor makes the biggest difference at home.
Here is the help caregivers referred by Senior Pros can give Boca Raton seniors:
- Day-to-day help around the house through senior home care services, from cooking meals to keeping the kitchen tidy
- Friendly conversation, games, hobbies and errands with a caregiver for companion care at home
- Respectful, hands-on help with bathing, dressing and grooming, along with toileting and moving safely around the home
- Patient, steady support from caregivers trained in Alzheimer's and dementia care at home, with familiar routines and gentle reminders
- Support during the first days and weeks after a hospital stay or surgery
- Help coordinating doctors, appointments and services through a referral to a trusted independent care manager
- A caregiver who comes along on vacations, cruises and family trips, close to home or far away
- Continuous support with around-the-clock care at home, using rotating shifts or a live-in caregiver
Hourly, Overnight, Live-In and 24-Hour Care
Schedules can run from a few hours to 24 hours, up to seven days a week. That can mean a few hours of help each week, a visit every day, or care around the clock. There's no long-term commitment, so the schedule can grow or shrink whenever your family needs it to. We can refer caregivers for hourly, overnight awake and live-in arrangements, and the rate stays the same no matter when the shift happens.
24-hour home care in Boca Raton can be set up in two ways. We explain both options, a live-in caregiver or two 12-hour shifts, so you and the caregiver can decide what fits.
Live-in care in Boca Raton can cost dramatically less. A live-in caregiver stays in the home with scheduled rest breaks and typically sleeps overnight. It may not suit someone who is sundowning, isn't sleeping, or gets up to use the bathroom more than a few times a night.
Two 12-hour shifts keep someone awake and alert all night long. Many families choose two shifts over three because it gives better continuity, with fewer new faces coming through the door and less confusion for your loved one. You can read more about two-shift and live-in care for around-the-clock needs.
Caregivers Boca Raton Families Can Trust
Caregivers referred by Senior Pros in Boca Raton are licensed or certified, and every one of them has a State and Federal Level 2 background check. That's the level of screening Florida requires for people who provide personal care and companion services in the home. Each caregiver also has communicable disease testing, CPR training and Alzheimer's and dementia training. We refer experienced caregivers, typically with five or more years in the field, and many pursue additional training in specific areas.
We refer caregivers who fit your loved one's personality, needs and schedule, and you and the caregiver decide whether to work together. All caregivers speak excellent English, and caregivers experienced in working in kosher homes are available for referral. Some families want a good cook, others want someone who can help organize the house, do the shopping or look after a pet, and we can refer caregivers who can do any of it, or all of it.
Families may also choose Care Pods, which work quietly in the background. There's nothing to wear or charge. The pods notice subtle changes in daily routines and can alert designated family members to changes that may be worth discussing with a doctor, especially when a client is alone. Families of clients who use 18 or more hours of referred care each week can add Care Pods at no charge.
Families share their own experiences with Senior Pros in the reviews on our website, and you're welcome to read them whenever you like.
Care That Fits Boca Raton Homes and Daily Life
About four in ten homes in Boca Raton are in buildings with ten or more units, and about the same share are single-family houses. So your mom or dad might live in a high-rise condo with an elevator, a long hallway and a parking garage, or in a house with a driveway and a yard. Elderly care in Boca Raton has to work in both.
Caregivers referred by Senior Pros can help your loved one move safely around the home, with steady support for transfers from the bed, the chair or the shower. They keep up with light housekeeping and laundry, whether the washer is down the hall or out in the garage.
More than 4,500 Boca Raton households are an older adult living on their own, about three in ten of the households with someone 65 or older. That can mean a lot of long, quiet afternoons. A companion gives your loved one someone to talk with, cook with or take a walk with. Most referred caregivers can also drive your loved one to doctor appointments, shopping and social outings, in their own car or your loved one's.

Help at Home After a Hospital Stay in Boca Raton
Boca Raton families come home from hospitals such as Boca Raton Regional Hospital and West Boca Medical Center. Boca Raton Regional Hospital is a 400-bed medical center and one of four Comprehensive Stroke Centers in Palm Beach County. Many people come home from there after a surgery, a stroke or a serious illness, and those first weeks back can be a lot for a family to manage.
Hospital to home care in Boca Raton gives your loved one support while their strength returns. Caregivers help them follow discharge instructions and stay on schedule with medication reminders. They drive to follow-up visits with doctors and physical therapists, prepare healthy meals, encourage fluids, and help with walking and transfers around the house.
Discharge often comes with little notice. Same-day caregiver referrals mean a caregiver can often start right away, even on the day your loved one comes home. You can get in touch with our office before or after discharge to talk through the plan. Some families start with 24-hour care that tapers down over time, and others need just a few days or weeks of help. Our team can help you find caregiver support for the first 30 days after discharge that fits each person's recovery.

Getting Started With Home Care in Boca Raton
Starting home care with Senior Pros takes four simple steps. The first is a consultation, where you tell us about your loved one and ask any questions you have. The second is a care needs discussion, where our team learns about their health needs, daily routines and personal preferences. Third comes caregiver matching: we refer an experienced caregiver based on skills, availability and personality fit, and you and the caregiver decide whether to work together. Fourth, care begins once you and the caregiver agree on the care plan and schedule, and in many cases same-day caregiver referrals mean it begins right away.
The in-home consultation is free, and paperwork can be handled by email, so there's no running around. Our team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
