Home care services for Lehigh Acres seniors
Every plan is reviewed by an RN and built around three things: the diagnosis, the home itself, and the family’s schedule. We send the same caregiver whenever we can.
Conditions our Lehigh Acres caregivers support
The diagnosis drives the plan. Here are the calls we get most from Lehigh Acres families:
Dementia Care in Lehigh Acres
Dementia care in Lehigh Acres means steady routines through sundowning, an eye on wandering, gentle redirection, and the patience to answer the same question without sighing.
Parkinson’s Home Care
Parkinson’s home care leans on cueing for mobility, meds on time, the right move when a gait freezes, and exercises that line up with PT.
Stroke Recovery Care at Home
Stroke recovery care at home covers therapy-aligned exercises, dysphagia precautions at every meal, safe transfers, and patient, aphasia-friendly conversation.
Post-Surgical Care at Home
Post-surgical care at home gets folks through a hip or knee replacement, a cardiac procedure, the ride back from Lehigh Regional, and those first days of watching a wound.
Cancer Care at Home
Cancer care at home means rides to oncology, a routine for nausea, hydration tracked, and a calm presence on the rough days after treatment.
Congestive Heart Failure Care
Congestive heart failure care keeps daily weights logged, meals low on sodium, edema watched, and meds on schedule, all aimed at keeping people out of the hospital.
COPD & Respiratory Care
COPD & respiratory care brings oxygen support, pursed-lip breathing reminders, and a watchful eye on the triggers that flare up fast in Florida humidity.
Diabetes Care at Home
Diabetes care at home covers glucose checks, diabetic meal prep, a daily look at the feet, and insulin kept on schedule.
Hospice Support at Home
Hospice support at home wraps around your hospice team with comfort positioning, respite hours, and an overnight presence so the family can actually rest.
Big city, neighborhood-level care.
Lehigh Acres is spread out. Really spread out. So we assign caregivers who live near your address, which means the same person shows up on time without fighting cross-county traffic to get to you.
RN-supervised plans
A registered nurse signs off on every plan and revisits it quarterly as things change.
Caregiver matching, not assignment
We aim for continuity of care, the same caregiver on the same days when possible. When the chemistry’s right, it holds for months.
No surprise contracts
Hourly, daily, or live-in. Cancel anytime. Scale it up or down as recovery moves along.
LTC insurance & VA handled
We bill John Hancock, Genworth, Mutual of Omaha, Transamerica, and the VA Community Care Network direct, so you’re not stuck filing claims.
Same-day & next-day starts
Most Lehigh Acres discharges go home with care already in place, usually within 24 hours of the call.

Common questions about home care in Lehigh Acres
How much does home care cost in Lehigh Acres?
Private-pay companion or personal care in Lehigh Acres runs $31 to $37 an hour. Multi-hour and 24-hour packages bring the effective rate down. We also take LTC insurance, VA, and Medicaid waivers. Call (239) 400-4514 for a Lehigh Acres-specific quote.
How quickly can a caregiver start in Lehigh Acres?
Most assessments happen within 24 hours, and a caregiver usually starts the next day. Discharges from Lehigh Regional are often same-day. A complex 24-hour schedule can take 2 to 3 days to staff with the right team.
Are your caregivers employees or contractors?
They’re W-2 employees of A Perfect Choice. Never independent contractors, never a registry. We carry the payroll taxes, workers’ comp, and liability insurance so you don’t have to think about it.
What if the caregiver isn’t the right fit?
Just call us. We re-match, no questions and no fee. Personality fit matters as much as the clinical side, and we’d rather get it right.
Do you accept Medicare?
No, and we’d rather tell you that up front than surprise you later. Original Medicare won’t pay for ongoing help like companionship, bathing, or 24-hour care, which is exactly the work we do. Lehigh Acres families typically cover it with private pay, long-term care insurance, VA Community Care for veterans, or Florida Medicaid long-term care for those who qualify. If your doctor orders short-term nursing or therapy after a hospital stay, that piece comes from a Medicare-certified home health provider, a separate kind of service, and we can keep the everyday care going alongside those visits. Call (239) 400-4514 and we’ll talk through what makes sense in your case.
Can you provide 24-hour or live-in care?
Yes. We staff both true 24-hour care, with two awake caregivers on rotating shifts, and live-in care, with one caregiver and a protected 8-hour sleep window, right here in Lehigh Acres.
Will Medicaid pay for home care in Lehigh Acres?
It can. Florida’s Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care (SMMC-LTC) waiver covers in-home help for seniors who qualify, and qualifying comes down to both income and a functional assessment. We work with several of the waiver plans. Honestly, it depends on your situation, so call (239) 400-4514 and we’ll help you figure out where you stand.
Can veterans in Lehigh Acres get free home care through the VA?
Often, yes. We’re a VA Community Care Network provider, so eligible veterans pay nothing out of pocket. If you receive Aid & Attendance, that can help cover care too. We handle the authorizations and bill the VA directly, so you’re not stuck on the phone with them. Call (239) 400-4514 and we’ll check your eligibility.
Can someone with dementia stay safely at home in Lehigh Acres?
Usually, yes. A steady routine, a few home-safety changes, and caregivers trained in redirection keep a lot of people with dementia safe and comfortable in their own house. If wandering or sundowning gets to be too much, we scale up to 24-hour coverage. Call (239) 400-4514 and we’ll talk through what your loved one needs.

Yes. We’re a Florida-licensed home health agency serving Lehigh Acres, AHCA license HHA #299995428. The people we send are CNAs and Home Health Aides, and the work is steady, one-on-one help: personal care, companionship, dementia care, respite, veteran home care, and 24-hour coverage.

Call (239) 400-4514 and we’ll point you to the right starting place.
