Live-in care costs vary based on the level of assistance needed and caregiver qualifications. In Boca Raton, typical rates range from $250-$400 per day for 24-hour live-in services, which is significantly more affordable than assisted living facilities or nursing homes. We provide free consultations and transparent pricing with no hidden fees, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for and why.
We’ve served South Florida families for over 40 years with genuine, family-run compassionate care. Unlike corporate home care agencies, we carefully match caregivers to clients based on personality, not just availability, ensuring meaningful relationships. Our proprietary Transparency Room technology lets family members monitor care remotely. Plus, our 7-step screening process means every caregiver meets the highest quality standards before entering your home.
Live-in home care works best when your loved one needs overnight supervision, has medical conditions requiring frequent monitoring, or experiences anxiety being alone. Hourly personal care services suit situations where assistance is needed only for specific daily activities like meal preparation and bathing. We help you evaluate your care needs during our free in-home assessment to recommend the right level of support for your budget and situation.
We typically begin home care services within 3-5 days of your initial contact, though urgent situations can often be accommodated faster. The timeline depends on completing the in-home assessment, developing your care plan, and matching the right caregiver to your family. During busy seasons or when specific qualifications are required, it may take up to a week to ensure the best match for your loved one.
If you’re noticing significant changes in your parent’s ability to manage everyday tasks safely, it’s worth getting an assessment. Signs include frequent falls, missed medications, weight loss from inadequate meal preparation, confusion about appointments, or increased isolation. When your mother or dad expresses fear about being alone at night, or when you feel constant stress worrying about their safety, professional caregivers can make a big difference in both their quality of life and your peace of mind.
We provide continuous monitoring and support throughout your care relationship with us. While we don’t offer traditional warranties, we guarantee satisfaction through our commitment to caregiver consistency and quality. If you’re ever unhappy with your caregiver or services, we address concerns immediately and make adjustments at no additional cost. Our Transparency Room portal ensures family members stay informed, and our team is available 24/7 for support whenever needed.
All our caregivers complete our comprehensive 7-step screening process, including criminal background checks, reference verification, and skills assessments. Many are certified nursing assistants or have specialized training in dementia care, Alzheimer’s support, or skilled nursing. We verify certifications, conduct in-person interviews, and provide ongoing training. Every caregiver is insured and bonded, giving you confidence that qualified professionals are caring for your loved one.
Yes, our compassionate caregivers provide transportation assistance throughout Boca Raton and Palm Beach County. They accompany seniors to doctor visits, medical appointments, therapy sessions, and other health care needs. This includes help getting in and out of vehicles safely, navigating medical facilities, and communicating with health care providers. Transportation is included as part of our companion and homemaker care and live-in home care services.
We maintain backup caregivers familiar with your loved one’s care plan to ensure continuity when your primary caregiver is unavailable. Whenever possible, we introduce backup caregivers in advance so transitions are smooth and comfortable. Our goal is consistency, so we minimize caregiver changes. If an unexpected absence occurs, we communicate with your family immediately and arrange qualified coverage to maintain your care without interruption.
Most non-medical live-in home care services, including companion and homemaker care and personal care, are not covered by Medicare or traditional health insurance. However, some long-term care insurance policies, veterans benefits through Aid and Attendance, or Medicaid waiver programs may provide coverage. We help families explore all payment options and can provide documentation needed for insurance claims or benefit applications. Contact our team to discuss your specific situation and payment options.
