Home Care in West Palm Beach, FL

Home Care Services for West Palm Beach Seniors

About one resident in five here is 65 or older, which comes to 26,251 West Palm Beach seniors. Roughly a third of them, 8,306 people, live on their own. That's a lot of parents and grandparents in houses and condos around the city who could use a hand with the day, and a friendly face at the door now and then.

Caregivers referred by Senior Pros can help with senior home care in West Palm Beach in all the everyday ways that keep a home running and a person feeling like themselves:

• Conversation, brain games, hobbies and outings through companion care that keeps your loved one active and connected
• Bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting with personal care that respects privacy and dignity
• Medication reminders, so nothing gets missed
• Meal preparation and a watchful eye on good nutrition
• Light housekeeping and laundry
• Help moving safely around the house, including transfers in and out of a bed or chair
• Rides to appointments, shopping and errands
• Calm routines and safety supervision with Alzheimer's and dementia care from caregivers trained in memory loss
• Help coordinating doctors and services through the independent care managers we refer families to
• A caregiver who comes along on vacations, cruises and family visits

Most caregivers can drive your loved one in their own car or in yours, which makes errand days a whole lot easier for everyone.

Hourly, Overnight, Live-In and 24-Hour Care

Schedules can run from a few hours to 24 hours, up to seven days a week, and you can start with a few hours and add more as needs change. We can refer caregivers for hourly, overnight awake and live-in arrangements, so help is always close by.

Families who need 24-hour home care in West Palm Beach usually weigh two setups, and we'll explain both so you and the caregiver can decide what fits. Fewer new faces and steadier routines mean a lot to an older adult, so many families choose around-the-clock care with two 12-hour shifts. Live-in care, where one caregiver stays in the home with scheduled rest breaks, can cost dramatically less. It may not suit someone who is sundowning, isn't sleeping, or gets up for the bathroom more than a few times a night, and we'll talk all of that through with you.

Support After a Hospital Stay in West Palm Beach

Coming home after a stay at St. Mary's Medical Center, Good Samaritan Medical Center or, for veterans, the Thomas H. Corey VA Medical Center is a real relief. It's also the stretch of time when a little extra help goes the furthest, especially in those first few weeks.

Discharge can come with very little notice, sometimes a morning call about an afternoon pickup. Same-day caregiver referrals are often available for that, so in many situations a caregiver can be with your loved one within hours.

Caregivers referred by Senior Pros can help seniors through their first 30 days back home. They help your loved one follow discharge instructions, keep up with medication reminders, and get to follow-up visits with doctors and physical therapists. They help with walking and transfers to lower the risk of a fall, cook healthy meals and encourage plenty of fluids. Hospital to home care in West Palm Beach can last a few days, a few weeks or longer, and some families start with 24-hour care and taper down as strength comes back.

Why West Palm Beach Families Choose Senior Pros

Inviting someone into your home takes trust, so we're careful about every caregiver we refer. Each one is licensed or certified and has passed a Level 2 state and federal background check, communicable disease testing, CPR training and Alzheimer's and dementia training. Many pursue extra training beyond what the state asks for, and we typically refer caregivers with five or more years of experience. All of them speak fluent English.

Matching is personal here. We refer a caregiver who fits your loved one's personality, schedule and budget, whether they'd like a good cook, someone to keep the house organized, or a hand with the pets, and you and the caregiver decide whether to work together. Caregivers experienced in kosher homes are available for referral, too.

Families of clients who use 18 or more hours of referred care a week can add Care Pods at no charge. These pods work quietly in the background, with nothing to wear or charge, and can alert family members to changes that may be worth discussing with a doctor, especially while your loved one is alone.

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. Our Palm Beach County office holds License No. 30212454. The team is available 24/7 for emergencies, you can always ask to speak directly to the owner, and you're welcome to read what families say about Senior Pros.
