Care for the situation you're in
Tell us what your loved one needs help with, and we'll match both the care and the caregiver to them. If you're not sure which of these fits, call and we'll help you work it out.
Everyday help at home
For a parent who is mostly managing but needs a hand with the house, with bathing, or just some company through the day.
-
Personal care
Help with bathing, dressing, grooming and the toilet, in the order and at the pace your parent prefers. In Florida, companions and homemakers aren't allowed to give this hands-on care.

Companion care
For a parent who manages at home but no longer drives: errands, lunch together, and rides to THE PLAYERS Community Senior Center in Ponte Vedra Beach or the Council on Aging's centers in St. Augustine.
-
Mobility care
Safe transfers, walking with a cane or walker, and a house cleared of the rugs and cords that cause falls, with rides to physical therapy.
Memory loss and long-term conditions
For dementia, Parkinson's and other conditions that change what each day needs.
-
Alzheimer's and dementia care
A steady routine, the same caregiver whenever we can, and watchful company through the late afternoon, alongside programs like the Council on Aging's memory center on A1A North.
-
Parkinson's home care
Doses reminded on time, steady help through freezing and transfers, and rides to neurology appointments and exercise classes.
-
Specialized and complex care
One non-medical plan for someone managing several conditions at once, with a caregiver who keeps the calendar across every doctor and specialist.
After a hospital stay or during a serious illness
For the first weeks home, and for comfort when an illness won't get better.
-
Hospital-to-home care and recovery
A caregiver at the house when your parent gets home from the hospital or rehab, with meals, medication reminders and rides to follow-up visits.
-
Palliative and end-of-life care
Comfort and company during a serious illness, and rest for the family, working beside the hospice team, such as Community Hospice & Palliative Care or Halifax Health's hospice program.

A break for the family caregiver, help after a stroke, care for veterans and disabled adults, and other ways families set up care at home.

What families are saying
We brought Always Responsive Home Care into our home to care for my husband, and their caregiver, Adwoa, quickly became part of our family. She was gentle and patient with him, and she always treated him with dignity. She noticed the little things, like how he liked his coffee and when he needed a rest before he said a word. The office team was just as wonderful. Every time I called, someone answered and took care of what we needed. Knowing he was in such good hands gave me peace of mind I hadn't felt in a long time. Thank you, Adwoa and the whole Always Responsive team. We are so grateful.

What services do your caregivers provide?
Our caregivers help with everything your loved one needs to live safely and comfortably at home. This includes personal care such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and help moving around the house safely. They also assist with everyday tasks like meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, errands, and rides to appointments. Just as important, they provide friendly companionship, conversation, and medication reminders to help your loved one stay on track. Whether you need companion care, personal care, respite care for a family caregiver, or overnight and 24 hour care, we'll build a care plan around your loved one's routine.
Can a caregiver help with bathing, dressing, and using the bathroom?
Yes. Our caregivers are trained to help with personal care, including bathing, showering, dressing, grooming, and toileting. They always treat your loved one with patience, dignity, and respect, and follow their preferences and routines so they feel comfortable and in control. Personal care is one of the most common reasons families reach out to us, and it can make a big difference in keeping your loved one safe at home.
Do your caregivers drive clients to appointments and errands?
Yes. Our caregivers can drive your loved one to doctor's appointments, the pharmacy, the grocery store, the salon, church, or a visit with friends. They stay with your loved one the whole time, so they're never left waiting alone or struggling to get in and out of the car. If the caregiver uses their own vehicle, mileage is billed at the standard federal (IRS) mileage rate. Caregivers can also drive your loved one's car, and we simply make sure every vehicle used is properly insured.
Do you provide overnight or 24 hour care?
Yes, we provide both. Overnight care gives your loved one an awake caregiver through the night to help with bathroom trips, prevent falls, and offer reassurance if they wake up confused or anxious. It also lets the rest of the family finally get a good night's sleep. For loved ones who need support around the clock, our 24 hour care is provided in shifts, so there's always a caregiver who is alert, rested, and ready to help.
Do you care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia?
Yes, dementia care is one of our specialties. Every caregiver receives Alzheimer's and dementia training when they join us, along with ongoing training throughout the year. They know how to gently guide your loved one through daily routines, ease confusion and anxiety, and keep them safe at home, all with patience and compassion. We also take the time to learn your loved one's history, interests, and favorite things so we can create moments of comfort and connection every day.
Can a caregiver give medications?
Our caregivers can't administer medications, but they can provide medication reminders to help your loved one take the right medicine at the right time. Every situation is different, so our team will talk with you about safe options for managing your loved one's medications and help you find the approach that works best for your family.
