## Locations
- [Fort Myers Beach](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/fort-myers-beach/): A Perfect Choice Home Care helps Estero Island families who'd rather stay on the beach than move off it. We've been Florida-licensed since 2021. We're locally owned, and every caregiver here gets dispatched from our Fort Myers office, just across the Matanzas Pass Bridge. There's one bridge and one road down the island, and we schedule around both, so help shows up on time even in season. Some island families split the caregiving with us, and a few can even be paid for their share. Our family caregiver pay guide explains how that works in Florida.
- [North Fort Myers](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/north-fort-myers/): A Perfect Choice Home Care looks after North Fort Myers families who want a steady, familiar caregiver and not a national brand markup. We have been Florida-licensed since 2021. We are locally owned, and our care is dispatched from our Fort Myers office just over the Caloosahatchee River. The same team handles Fort Myers home care on the south bank. Del Tura, Herons Glen, the riverfront at Old Bridge Village. We know this side of the water. And when the Medicare question comes up, as it always does, our Medicare and home care guide has the honest answer.
- [Longboat Key](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/longboat-key/): Longboat Key stretches across two counties, and we cover both ends of it, from Country Club Shores up to Whitney Beach. Families on the Key call us for companionship, dementia care, help after surgery, and around-the-clock coverage. If around-the-clock is where things are heading, our 24-hour home care guide explains the setups and what they cost. We've held our Florida license since 2021, and a nurse supervises every plan.
- [Siesta Key](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/siesta-key/): Help at home for Siesta Key seniors, from companionship and dementia support to post-surgical recovery and around-the-clock coverage. We're Florida-licensed, and a registered nurse signs off on every care plan.
- [Sarasota](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/sarasota/): When a Sarasota family wants caregivers who actually know the city, they call A Perfect Choice. We're locally owned and Florida-licensed since 2021, and our caregivers head out from the Lakewood Ranch office down the road.

- [Punta Gorda](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/punta-gorda/): From Punta Gorda Isles out to Burnt Store and Deep Creek, our caregivers help Charlotte County seniors keep living where they're comfortable. Some households want a friendly visit twice a week, others need help around the clock. Either way, you get an RN-supervised plan from a locally owned, Florida-licensed agency.
- [Golden Gate](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/golden-gate/): A Perfect Choice helps Golden Gate seniors stay in their own homes. Companion care, personal care, dementia support, and around-the-clock coverage when it's needed. We've been Florida-licensed since 2021, and our caregivers dispatch from Fort Myers.

- [Naples](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/naples/): When you call us, you talk to people who actually do this work in Naples. We're locally owned, Florida-licensed since 2021, and we keep things simple: the same caregiver, showing up on the same days, who genuinely fits the person they're caring for. That's the whole pitch. Most of what we do is senior home care in Naples, FL, one caregiver helping one person at home with the day-to-day.
- [Sanibel & Captiva](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/sanibel-captiva/): A Perfect Choice brings in-home care to families on Sanibel and Captiva: companionship, personal care, dementia support, and around-the-clock coverage when it's needed. Our caregivers come over from Fort Myers, and we plan every shift around the bridge and island life. If a family member handles part of the care themselves, our guide on getting paid to care for a relative in Florida is worth a read.
- [Bonita Springs](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/bonita-springs/): We bring in-home care to Bonita Springs seniors, the snowbirds who winter here and the retirees who never leave. Florida-licensed since 2021, locally owned, dispatched from our Fort Myers office.
- [Sun City Center](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/sun-city-center/): Sun City Center runs on independence, and our job is to protect it. Our caregivers help with mornings and meals over in Kings Point, step in after a South Bay Hospital discharge, and cover full 24-hour shifts when a spouse can't carry it alone anymore. Every plan is written and supervised by a registered nurse, under our Florida license.
- [Brandon](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/brandon/): Brandon families juggle a lot, and steady help at home is often the thing that keeps a parent out of assisted living. We send reliable, background-checked caregivers across Bloomingdale, Valrico, FishHawk Ranch, and the rest of the Brandon area, for everything from companion visits to 24-hour home care. If you want to know what those hours actually cost around Tampa Bay, our home care cost guide lays it out. The agency behind them is locally owned and Florida-licensed, with RN oversight on every case.
- [Tampa](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/tampa/): We staff Tampa neighborhood by neighborhood: Seminole Heights, Hyde Park, New Tampa, Westchase, and the blocks between. Families bring us in for companionship, personal care, dementia support, veteran home care, and round-the-clock coverage. One Florida license covers all of it, Hillsborough County included.
- [Palmetto](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/palmetto/): North of the Manatee River, good help at home can be hard to line up. That's the gap we fill for Palmetto, Snead Island, Terra Ceia, and over to Ellenton: companion visits, hands-on personal care, dementia support, and full 24-hour coverage under RN-supervised plans. The Lakewood Ranch office that schedules every shift sits right across the river. And because everyone asks: no, Medicare mostly does not pay for this kind of help. Our Medicare and home care guide covers what does.
- [Bradenton](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/bradenton/): In Bradenton, caregiving tends to be a family affair right up until it stops working, and that's usually where we come in. We take care of people all over the city, Palma Sola, Cortez, Heritage Harbour, and everywhere between, with companionship, personal care, dementia support, and round-the-clock shifts. Scheduling runs out of Lakewood Ranch, a quick drive up the road.
- [Lakewood Ranch](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/lakewood-ranch/): Our office sits right here in Lakewood Ranch. That's not a marketing line. It means when a family inside the gates needs help, a care manager can be at the door in minutes, not next week. Companion care, dementia support, veteran home care, and round-the-clock coverage across the community.
- [North Port](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/north-port/): A Perfect Choice keeps North Port seniors at home with the help they actually need: a companion a few mornings a week, hands-on personal care, dementia support, veteran care, or round-the-clock coverage. What each of those costs is laid out plainly in our Florida home care cost guide. Florida-licensed since 2021, RN-supervised, dispatched from our Lakewood Ranch office.
- [Venice](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/venice/): A Perfect Choice provides in-home care for Venice seniors with companion care, dementia support, post-surgical recovery, and 24-hour coverage. Florida-licensed since 2021, RN-supervised, dispatched from Lakewood Ranch.
- [Lehigh Acres](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/lehigh-acres/): Lehigh Acres families shouldn't have to drive a parent across the county to get decent care. We bring it to the house instead: personal care, dementia support, respite, and round-the-clock coverage, whether the house is in Mirror Lakes or way out by Harns Marsh. Lehigh families watch their budgets closely, and our Florida home care cost guide shows exactly where the money goes. We're locally owned, licensed by the state since 2021, and our Fort Myers office is just up Lee Boulevard, and the same caregivers cover in-home care in Fort Myers.
- [Estero](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/estero/): We care for Estero seniors wherever they live, the big resort communities off Coconut Road, the gated golf developments, the quieter inland streets out toward Corkscrew. A Perfect Choice has been Florida-licensed since 2021, and our caregivers dispatch from the Fort Myers office just up I-75. Most Estero families start by asking what this costs, and our home care cost guide gives the straight numbers before anyone visits.
- [Cape Coral](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/cape-coral/): Cape Coral is a big city with a lot of dead-end streets, and plenty of agencies just won't drive out to the far ones. We do. A Perfect Choice is the home care agency local families lean on for steady, one-on-one in-home care in Cape Coral, even when the house is a 20-minute haul from the bridge. Florida-licensed since 2021, and our caregivers run out of the Fort Myers office. Plenty of families here are weighing both sides of the bridge, so it is worth reading how home care in Fort Myers works as well.
- [Fort Myers](https://aperfectchoicehomecare.com/locations/fort-myers/): When another agency drops the ball, this is usually the next call Fort Myers families make. We're locally owned, our care plans are RN-supervised, and we've been Florida-licensed since 2021. Our Lee County office picks up on the first ring, even after hours.
