Skilled Nursing at Home
Service
e_101
Physician-ordered nursing that Focus Family Care's licensed RNs and LPNs deliver in the client's home: wound care, IV therapy and injections, catheter and ostomy care, disease management, medication management, and post-hospital follow-up.
Relations
Evidence
Skilled nursing at home is medical care delivered in the house by a licensed RN or LPN, in intermittent visits, under a physician's order. Medicare covers it when a doctor certifies the need and the patient is homebound. Many people who would qualify never apply, because they think homebound means housebound. It does not.

type: definition · retrieved: 2026-09-08T00:00:00Z · relevance: 0.97
Yes, when a physician orders it, certifies the need, and the patient is homebound and needs part-time or intermittent skilled care. Medicare does not fund a nurse present for a full shift, which is private duty nursing and is funded separately.

Private Duty Nursing
Service
e_102also: PDN
Continuous one-on-one nursing that Focus Family Care provides in shifts of 8 to 24 hours for adults and children whose medical needs are too complex or too constant for short, occasional nursing visits.
Relations
Evidence
Private duty nursing is continuous, one-to-one skilled nursing at home, delivered by a licensed RN or LPN in shifts rather than visits. It is the right answer when a task legally requires a nurse. When it does not, an aide is usually the better and cheaper choice, and Medicare will not fund either as ongoing care.
Private Duty Nursing at Home - published by Focus Family Care
type: definition · retrieved: 2026-09-08T00:00:00Z · relevance: 0.97
Private duty nursing is one-on-one skilled nursing at home, provided in shifts of 8 to 24 hours by a licensed RN or LPN. Unlike short Medicare skilled-nursing visits, a private duty nurse stays with a single patient for the whole shift. Florida Medicaid, private insurance, and VA benefits often cover it.

Home Health Aide Services
Service
e_103also: HHA
Certified home health aides placed by Focus Family Care to assist with bathing, dressing, meals, and mobility in the client's home, working under registered-nurse supervision.
Relations
Evidence
A home health aide provides hands-on daily help at home, including bathing, dressing, transfers and meals, under the supervision of a registered nurse. A certified nursing assistant has more clinical training and usually works in facilities, though many work in homes too. Neither can administer medication, dress a wound or make a clinical judgment.

Personal Care at Home
Service
e_104
Hands-on assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and mobility that Focus Family Care caregivers provide in the client's own home, without requiring a physician's order.
Relations
Evidence
Personal care is hands-on help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, transfers and mobility. It is non-medical home care, so it needs no physician's order and Medicare does not fund it as an ongoing service. The practical difficulty is almost never finding a caregiver. It is getting the person to accept one.

Companion Care
Service
e_105
Non-medical support pairing a Focus Family Care caregiver with a client for conversation, meals, errands, transportation, and supervision. Companion care does not include hands-on help with bathing or toileting.
Relations
Evidence
Companion care is non-medical, hands-off support: company, conversation, errands, transportation, meal preparation, light housekeeping and supervision. It does not include bathing, dressing or toileting, which is personal care. It is usually the least expensive service and very often the right place to start.
Companion Care Services - published by Focus Family Care
type: definition · retrieved: 2026-09-08T00:00:00Z · relevance: 0.95
A companion caregiver offers social support and supervision for seniors and adults who are largely independent: sharing conversation and activities, helping with errands, meals, and light housekeeping, and watching for changes in safety or health. Unlike a personal care aide, a companion caregiver does not provide hands-on help with bathing or toileting.

Relations
Evidence
Respite care is short-term care that gives a family caregiver a planned break while a trained professional supports their loved one at home. Focus Family Care delivers respite care services from a few hours to several weeks across Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee counties. Focus Family Care answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and can start care in as little as 24 hours.

Respite care is temporary care that allows a primary caregiver to step away and rest while a trained caregiver takes over. It can last a few hours, a full day, an overnight, or a short stay of several weeks, and it can be delivered in the person's own home, at an adult day center, or in a residential facility.

24-Hour Home Care
Service
e_107
Around-the-clock caregiving in which a rotating team of awake Focus Family Care caregivers covers every hour of the day and night in the client's home.
Relations
Evidence
24-hour home care is around-the-clock caregiving in which a rotating team of awake caregivers covers every hour of the day and night in the client's home. In West Palm Beach, 24-hour home care is priced by written quote. Focus Family Care accepts Medicaid, Medicare, VA benefits, and long-term care insurance, which brings the out-of-pocket cost to $0 for many families.

24-hour home care is continuous in-home caregiving in which a rotating team keeps one awake caregiver on duty at every hour of the day and night. It lets a person who is no longer safe alone stay at home instead of moving to a nursing facility.

Live-In Care
Service
e_108
A Focus Family Care caregiver who resides in the client's home and provides daily support across a 24-hour period with a scheduled rest break, giving consistent one-on-one support from a single caregiver.
Relations
Evidence
Live-in care means one caregiver lives in the home, sleeps there, and is present around the clock apart from agreed breaks and days off. It is substantially cheaper than 24-hour rotating care and it only works for someone who is safe and settled overnight. If nights are the problem, you need 24-hour care instead.

Families use the phrases interchangeably. Agencies price them very differently, and the difference is entirely about sleep.

In-home treatment from a Focus Family Care occupational therapist that rebuilds a client's ability to perform everyday tasks such as dressing, bathing, cooking, and moving safely after illness or injury.
Relations
Evidence
Occupational therapy is about the tasks of daily life: dressing, washing, cooking, getting to the toilet, getting in and out of bed. Physical therapy works on the body; occupational therapy works on what the body has to do. At home, an OT can change the house as well as the person, which is usually the faster route.

Daily living support that a caregiver provides in the client's home without a physician's order. Focus Family Care can begin non-medical home care within 24 hours.

Evidence
Non-medical home care is help with daily living rather than medical treatment. No physician's order is needed and Medicare does not fund it as an ongoing service. The names vary; the practical decisions are how many hours, at what times of day, and whether it is the same person each time.

Activities of daily living (ADLs) are the six basic self-care tasks: bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, transferring (moving in and out of a bed or chair), and continence. A related group, instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), covers tasks like cooking, managing medication, and handling money. How many ADLs a person struggles with is a key measure of whether they need home care.

The doctor's order that authorizes skilled care in the home. It is the dividing line Focus Family Care uses between skilled home health care and non-medical home care, and Medicare requires it before covering skilled services.
Evidence
Medicare covers home health care in Florida when two conditions are met: a doctor orders skilled care (nursing or therapy), and the patient is homebound. Medicare then covers skilled nursing visits, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and home health aide support at $0 out of pocket. Medicare does not cover ongoing 24-hour or custodial-only care.

Family caregivers who never take a break experience exhaustion. That outcome is predictable for a role running 24 hours a day with no shift change, and it has nothing to do with character.

The Medicare test Focus Family Care explains to families: leaving home takes a considerable and taxing effort because of illness or injury. A homebound person can still leave for medical care or occasional short trips without losing the status.
Evidence
Homebound means that, because of illness or injury, leaving home takes a considerable and taxing effort, and a person may need help or a device such as a walker or wheelchair to do so. Medicare requires a patient to be homebound to cover home health care. A homebound person can still leave home for medical care, or occasionally for short trips like religious services, without losing the status.
