Home Care in Coral Springs, FL

Home Care Services for Coral Springs Seniors

About 22,950 Coral Springs residents are 65 or older, roughly one in six people in the city. Nearly half of those 75 and older live with a disability, and about one in five of them has a hard time running errands or getting to the doctor alone. That's usually the point where a little help at home makes the biggest difference.

Senior home care in Coral Springs can include meal preparation, light housekeeping and laundry, medication reminders, help moving safely from the bed to a chair, transportation and errands, and help with bathing, dressing and grooming. Here is the in-home care in Coral Springs that caregivers referred by Senior Pros can give:

• Everyday help around the house through senior home care services, from cooking meals to keeping up with the laundry
• Conversation, brain 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 around the home
• Patient support and familiar routines from caregivers experienced in Alzheimer's and dementia care at home
• Someone always nearby with around-the-clock care at home, through rotating shifts or a live-in caregiver
• Steady support in the first days and weeks with help at home after a hospital stay or surgery
• Help keeping doctors, appointments and services organized through a referral to an independent care manager
• A caregiver who comes along on vacations, cruises and family trips, whether close to home or across the country

Flexible Schedules, From a Few Hours to 24-Hour and Live-In Care

Schedules can run from a few hours to 24 hours a day, up to seven days a week. That might mean a few hours of help in the mornings, a visit every day, overnight care, or someone in the house around the clock. There's no long-term commitment, so the schedule can grow or shrink as your family's needs do.

24-hour home care in Coral Springs can be set up two ways, and we explain both so you and the caregiver can decide what fits. Two 12-hour shifts keep someone awake and alert all night long, and many families like that it means fewer new faces than three 8-hour shifts would bring.

A live-in caregiver stays in the home with scheduled rest breaks and usually sleeps overnight. Live-in care can cost dramatically less, and it works best for someone who sleeps through most of the night. Someone who is sundowning, isn't sleeping, or gets up to use the bathroom more than a few times a night is usually better served by two shifts.

The registry charges no overtime premiums or shift differentials, and there are no overnight or weekend surcharges, so a Saturday night costs the same as a Tuesday morning.

Help at Home After a Stay at Broward Health Coral Springs

Broward Health Coral Springs, on Coral Hills Drive, is the city's own hospital. It's a 250-bed hospital with a 24-hour emergency department and rehabilitative, orthopedic, cardiovascular and stroke center services. Plenty of Coral Springs families bring a parent home from there after surgery or a stroke, and those first weeks back can be a lot to manage.

Caregivers referred for hospital to home care help your loved one follow discharge instructions and stay on schedule with medication reminders. They can drive to follow-up visits with doctors and physical therapists, cook healthy meals, encourage fluids, and help with walking and transfers around the house while strength comes back.

Discharge often comes with very little notice. Same-day caregiver referrals are often available, so a caregiver can be there the same day your loved one comes home. You can request a caregiver referral before or after discharge, and care can last a few days, a few weeks or longer, depending on how recovery goes.

Caregivers Coral Springs Families Can Trust

Families comparing home care agencies in Coral Springs usually want to know first who will be coming through the door. Senior Pros is a locally owned, Florida-licensed nurse registry, and Coral Springs is part of the service area of our Palm Beach County office, License No. 30212454.

Caregivers referred by Senior Pros are licensed or certified, and each one has a State and Federal Level 2 background check, 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 on their own. All of them speak excellent English, and caregivers experienced in working in kosher homes are available for referral.

We take the time to match your loved one with a caregiver who fits their personality, schedule and budget, and you and the caregiver decide whether to work together.

Families of clients who use 18 or more hours of referred care each week can also add Care Pods at no charge. There's nothing to wear or charge. The pods quietly notice changes in daily routines and can alert family members to anything worth discussing with a doctor, which means a lot when a parent spends part of the day alone.

Families across Palm Beach and Broward counties share their own experiences in reviews of Senior Pros, and you're welcome to read them anytime.
