Private-pay Bradenton home care runs $32 to $38 per hour for private-pay companion or personal care. Multi-hour and 24-hour packages reduce the effective rate. LTC insurance, VA, and Medicaid waivers all accepted. Call (941) 799-7559 for a Bradenton-specific quote.
How quickly can a caregiver start in Bradenton?
Most assessments happen within 24 hours and a caregiver starts the next day. Hospital discharges from Manatee Memorial 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.

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 Bradenton.
