Common questions about home care in Marco Island
How much does home care cost in Marco Island?
Private-pay Marco Island home care runs $34 to $42 per hour for private-pay companion or personal care. 24-hour and live-in packages reduce the effective rate. LTC insurance and VA benefits often cover the full cost. Call (239) 400-4514 for a Marco Island-specific quote.
How quickly can a caregiver start in Marco Island?
Most assessments happen within 24 hours and a caregiver starts the next day. Hospital discharges from Physicians Regional are often same-day. Complex 24-hour schedules may take 2 to 3 days to staff with the right team.
Are your caregivers employees or contractors?
All caregivers are W-2 employees of A Perfect Choice. Never independent contractors, never a registry. We handle payroll taxes, workers’ comp, and liability insurance.
What if the caregiver isn’t the right fit?
Call us. We re-match without question and without a fee. Personality fit matters as much as clinical fit.
Do you accept Medicare?
Original Medicare does not cover non-medical home care. It covers short-term skilled care after a hospital stay from a Medicare-certified agency. We can refer and pick up after their service.
Can you provide 24-hour or live-in care?
Yes. We staff both true 24-hour care (two awake caregivers on rotating shifts) and live-in care (one caregiver with a protected 8-hour sleep window) in Marco Island.
