Edgewater
Home care in Edgewater, from the agency that lives here
Our Home Healthcare is a licensed home health agency in Edgewater, Florida, and Edgewater is where our office is, at 1802 S Ridgewood Ave on US-1. Our nurses and caregivers come to houses in Florida Shores, along Riverside Drive and off US-1. The drive is 0 minutes. We have done this here since 2014.
Our home town
What home care in Edgewater looks like
Edgewater is a town of 24,800 people on the Indian River between New Smyrna Beach and Oak Hill. The median age is 52.6 and 31 percent of residents are 65 or older, which is why there are so many of us here. Most of the houses we visit are single-storey block homes in Florida Shores, on the grid of streets west of US-1, with a screened lanai on the back and a live oak out front. Along Riverside Drive the houses face the water. Off US-1 are the manufactured-home communities, where many of our clients have lived since the day they retired here.
Dana brought her own father home to Florida Shores after his stroke in 2013, and that house is the reason this agency exists. Today Rosa walks with Joan on the riverside path when the weather is kind, Priya can get from the office to a client in Florida Shores before her coffee goes cold, and Jordan knows most of the street names without a map.
What Edgewater families ask for
The care Edgewater families ask us for most
Most Edgewater calls are from a son or daughter who lives here too, or 2 hours away, and has noticed that the shower, the pills or the evenings are getting hard. These 3 are what they ask for.
Personal care
Bathing, dressing, getting up and getting to bed, meals and medication reminders. From 4 hours a visit to 24 hours a day. Our most common care in Edgewater.
Companion and homemaker care
Someone to talk to, cook with, and drive to church and the doctor. Laundry, light housekeeping, a walk along the river. For people who are safe alone but should not be lonely.
Memory care at home
Caregivers trained by Priya in Alzheimer's and dementia care, a steady routine, a safety check of the house, and relief for the husband or wife doing it all alone.
Why families in Edgewater stay
5 things every Edgewater client gets
Every agency says it cares. These are the 5 things we do that you can check, and the numbers we hold ourselves to on every Edgewater case.
A nurse on every case
Priya or Dana writes the plan of care and visits at least every 30 days, even if all you want is company. Florida asks for a nurse visit every 60 days. We do twice that.
The same faces
1 primary caregiver and 1 trained backup. At most 3 caregivers in the first 90 days. A wrong match gets changed within a week.
A person answers, day and night
The number rings at the office on US-1 in the day and to the on-call nurse at night. Joan found that out at 11 pm. No phone tree, no voicemail.
Care within 48 hours
A free visit at your house within 24 hours of the call, and the first shift within 48. In Edgewater that often means the same day.
Prices on the website
$32 an hour, published. No quote call, no deposit, no contract, and you can stop with 48 hours notice.
