Yes, that includes the dog.
Feeding, walking, and the trip to the vet are all part of the job. A pet is often the reason someone gets up in the morning, and keeping that routine going is part of keeping a life going. Every member of the household is looked after here, including our four-legged ones.
Why families choose Guardian Care
Care arranged by people the hospitals already know.
Real thought goes into every match, and we keep in touch with your family once care begins.
We speak the hospital’s language
Guardian Care grew out of hospital medicine. When a discharge planner hands you a page of orders and a follow-up schedule, we can tell you what actually matters in it and what it will mean at home on a Tuesday afternoon.
We know who to call
Years inside the medical community here means a phone full of the right numbers. Physicians, therapists, elder law attorneys, the administrator at the community you are considering. When your family needs something we do not provide, we usually know exactly who does.
We know these buildings and these units
Palm Beach and Martin counties, and only those two. Which rehab units discharge on Fridays, which communities welcome outside caregivers, how long the drive really takes at four in the afternoon. Local knowledge saves families weeks.
We stay with you after the care starts
Regular check-ins with your family, and a caregiver match we keep working at until it feels right in the house. When something changes we help you think through what comes next, whether that is more hours, help with benefits, or a different kind of care altogether.
How it works
Four steps, and the first one is short.
You call
Ten minutes on the phone. What happened, what the doctors have said, what you are worried about at night. No forms first.
We come and meet you
A visit to the house so we understand the day properly. The stairs, the bathroom, the routine, and what would genuinely make things easier. No obligation on your side at any point.
You meet your caregiver
We match on the care needed and on temperament, and you meet the person before anything begins. If the fit is not right, say so and we will introduce you to someone else.
Care begins, and we stay in touch
We check in with you regularly. When the schedule needs to change, or you would like to meet a different caregiver, one call to us arranges it.
Or answer four questions and we will call you back.
What families say
In their words.
We hired Guardian Care to help care for my mother, and I can’t say enough about how kind they were. They were right there at her bedside, helped with her meals, and drove her wherever she needed to go. Knowing she was in such caring hands gave our whole family peace of mind. Thank you for treating her like family.
Karen D. You can tell they genuinely care about making a difference in people's lives. It's refreshing to see a home care company that values compassion and treats people with respect.
Christopher C. I was referred to Guardian by a close friend and hired them to assist in caring for my mother over the summer. They were professional and easy to coordinate with, but most importantly my mother was given proper care.

Frequently asked
Questions families actually ask.
What is the difference between home care and home health?
Home health is medical. A doctor orders it, a nurse or therapist visits a few times a week for a set period, and Medicare or insurance usually pays when the person qualifies. Home care is everything else: bathing, dressing, meals, housekeeping, driving, company, and overnight presence. It is not ordered by a doctor and Medicare does not cover it. Most families who call us need home care, and many of them have just been told their home health coverage is ending.
Can we change the schedule, or the caregiver?
Yes to both. Care starts at four hours a day, three days a week, and most families adjust from there as things change. If the match is not right, tell us and we will introduce you to someone else. You meet your caregiver before anything begins, so a fit that is not working should be caught early.
How are caregivers screened?
Every caregiver in our registry holds a Level-2 FBI background check, is professionally licensed and insured, and is CPR certified. Beyond the paperwork, we select for compassion, professionalism, and reliability, and we meet people before they ever join the registry. Credentials include RN, LPN, CNA, and HHA, and we match the credential to what the situation actually calls for.
What does this cost?
It depends on how many hours a week you need, the level of care involved, and whether overnight coverage is part of it. Those three things move the number more than anything else. Care starts at four hours a day, three days a week. Our starting rates are on the How pricing works page. Call and we will give you the figure for your week, with no obligation.
Does Medicare pay for this?
Generally no, and this is the part that surprises families most. Medicare covers skilled, intermittent home health when a doctor orders it, and it stops when the skilled need ends. It does not cover ongoing help with bathing, dressing, meals, or supervision, which is what most families need. Florida Medicaid long-term care can cover some of it for those who qualify, long-term care insurance often covers it, and VA benefits may apply. We help families work out which of those they are eligible for.
How quickly can care start?
Often within a day or two of the assessment, and faster when a hospital discharge is driving the timeline. Call any time, day or night, and tell us what the situation is. If another kind of care would serve your family better, we will help you find it.
