Coming home along Laurel Road

Sarasota Memorial Hospital in Venice sits right on Laurel Road, and families nearby often start calling us a few days before discharge. A caregiver can be at the house when your dad arrives, go over the discharge papers with you and keep that first week calm. After therapy at PAM Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Venice, our hospital to home care keeps the gains from therapy going once he is home.

Once his strength returns, an easy walk on the Legacy Trail by Laurel Park can become part of the plan, with a caregiver at his side.

Our Sarasota office begins with a free in-home assessment and writes a care plan around your loved one and the house.

From ranch houses to waterfront homes in Laurel

Laurel mixes ranch houses and manufactured home parks with larger homes nearer the water. A manufactured home often has a few steps at the entry to manage. A bigger house brings its own trouble, since keeping all those rooms in order can be too much for one person. A caregiver shapes each visit to the house.

Senior care in Laurel usually involves the car. For doctor visits, the caregiver does the driving and stays through the appointment, with a stop for groceries on the way home. Some families add a weekly lunch out, because a favorite booth and a familiar menu can be the best hour of the week.

Coming home from the hospital gives the day a new shape for a while, with more rest and a different schedule of medications. A caregiver keeps that routine steady and adds a little more activity as your loved one is ready. Our Sarasota office keeps you informed, which helps when you are not close enough to drop in.

Frequently asked questions about home care

Click or tap a question to see the answer.

What's the difference between home care and home health care?

Home care, also called non medical home care, helps your loved one with everyday activities so they can stay safe and comfortable at home. A trained caregiver or home health aide assists with personal care like bathing, dressing, and toileting, along with daily tasks such as meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, and companionship.

Home health care is skilled medical care provided by a registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN). It covers clinical tasks that require a nurse's oversight, such as IV therapy, wound care, and medication administration. Home health care is usually ordered by a doctor for a set period of time, often after a hospital stay.

Many families use both, with home care filling in the daily support between skilled nursing visits.

How quickly can care start?

In urgent situations, we can often start care the same day. For most families, care begins within one to two days. That gives us time to complete your free in home assessment, create a custom care plan for your loved one, and carefully match them with the right caregiver. We move quickly without cutting corners, because your loved one's safety and comfort always come first.

What happens during the free in home assessment?

During the free in home assessment, we take the time to get to know your loved one and your family, including their daily routines, preferences, and what matters most to them. We also complete a home safety assessment and share any recommendations to help prevent falls and make the home safer, at no charge. From there, we create a custom care plan and help you decide on the home care options and schedule that best fit your loved one's needs.

Will my loved one have the same caregiver each time?

We always do our best to keep the same caregiver with your loved one, and we note your preferences so every visit feels familiar and comfortable. Thanks to our low caregiver turnover and excellent training, most of our clients see the same friendly faces week after week. Of course, caregivers need time off and get sick sometimes too. When that happens, we let you know right away and send a wonderful, fully trained replacement who is already familiar with your loved one's care plan. That's the benefit of working with an agency. You're never left without help.

How much does home care cost?

The cost of in home care depends on several things, including where your loved one lives, how many hours of care they need, how often visits are scheduled, and the type of care required. Because every family's situation is different, the best way to get an accurate price is through our free in home assessment. There's no obligation, and we'll create a care plan that fits your loved one's needs. You'll always have a clear, written estimate before care begins, with no surprises.
