Signs You Need Long Term Care
Long Term Care is appropriate when daily function or medical needs exceed current family capacity.
- Increasing dependence with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and feeding that require hands on assistance from a trained aide. This often comes with weight loss, poor nutrition, or impaired mobility.
- Complex medication regimens with frequent missed doses, medication errors, or need for medication administration by licensed personnel. Medication management and reconciliation reduce adverse drug events.
- Recurrent falls or fall risk indicators, including gait instability, orthostatic blood pressure changes, or progressive balance decline that require fall prevention programs and mobility assistance.
- Chronic wounds, pressure injuries, or post surgical wounds needing skilled wound care, topical therapies, and documented dressing changes to support healing and prevent infection.
- Advanced chronic disease or progressive cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer disease with behaviors, wandering, or impaired decision making that require care coordination, caregiver training, and respite care to maintain safety at home.

Our Long Term Care Process
Long Term Care is organized into clear clinical and operational steps to start care quickly and safely.
We begin with intake and referral, where we collect insurance, physician orders, and patient history. A registered nurse conducts a comprehensive home safety assessment and baseline vital sign monitoring, then builds an individualized care plan with measurable goals.
We schedule skilled visits for nursing, wound care, and therapies, and assign home health aide shifts for personal care assistance and meal preparation.
We set up equipment rental like oxygen, walkers, or wheelchairs as ordered and confirm maintenance plans. Telehealth monitoring and emergency response systems get enrolled when indicated.
Care coordinators handle documentation in the electronic health record and work with payers for Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance claims.
We train family caregivers, provide respite scheduling, and perform regular care plan reviews to adjust services based on outcomes.
Long Term Care
Services in Florida
Focus Family Care provides AHCA-certified long term care at home for children, adults, and seniors across Palm Beach and South Florida, helping families navigate care options, coverage, and community resources.
Long Term Care in Florida
Long term care in Florida follows strict health care regulations set by the Agency for Health Care Administration, known as AHCA. The state of Florida requires all long term care providers to meet licensing standards, background screening, and ongoing compliance reviews. Focus Family Care operates under these state of Florida guidelines and maintains full AHCA certification for home health care services. Our long term care team serves patients throughout Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, and surrounding South Florida communities. You will find that our local presence allows for rapid response, personalized care planning, and strong relationships with area physicians and hospitals. Florida families trust our long term care services because we understand regional health care networks, local emergency services, and community resources designed to support aging in place. And we list all covered long term care services clearly so families know exactly what health care support to expect.
Who Benefits from Long Term Care
Long term care benefits extend to adult patients managing chronic illness, recovery from injury, or progressive conditions that limit independence. These services help a loved one remain safe at home rather than relocating to institutional care facilities. Children and adult dependents with developmental or medical needs also benefit from long term care coordination and skilled support. Our care program addresses each patient’s unique treatment goals while improving quality of life and reducing caregiver burden. The Department of Children and Families may coordinate with long term care providers when family support services or protective oversight apply. You do not have to navigate these systems alone. Our care team will help connect your family to social services, community programs, and financial assistance options. For patients with dietary restrictions or nutritional deficiencies, a dietitian referral can be coordinated as part of the long term care program. Homemaker services are also available to help a resident maintain a clean, safe living environment alongside clinical health care.

Long Term Care vs Other Care Settings
Long term care at home is not the same as nursing homes or assisted living facilities. However, home-based long term care delivers similar health care services in a familiar, comfortable care setting. Nursing homes provide 24/7 institutional supervision, but many patients prefer to live independently with professional support visiting their residence. Assisted living offers a middle option, yet residents still leave their own homes and adapt to facility routines. Home health care through long term care services allows patients to stay where they are most comfortable while receiving skilled nursing, therapy, and personal care. This care setting reduces exposure to infections common in care facilities and supports emotional wellbeing through familiar surroundings. For families weighing options, understand that long term care at home often provides more personalized attention and flexible scheduling than institutional alternatives. These benefits include one-on-one health care from a dedicated care team rather than shared staff attention found in nursing homes. Learn more about how our long term care program compares by calling our intake team.
Long Term Care Policy and Tax Considerations
Long term care coverage depends on your insurance policy, payer source, and documented medical necessity. Each policy has specific benefits, limitations, and contract terms that determine service eligibility and duration. You may apply for Medicaid long term care coverage if income and asset requirements are met under Florida guidelines. Tax considerations may also apply when paying for long term care services or when benefits are received from certain policy types. We recommend consulting a tax professional regarding deductions related to medical expenses and long term care premiums. These policy and care coverage questions are not always straightforward. Skilled advisors can help you understand which long term care benefits your health care plan includes. Find answers by contacting our admissions coordinators who will help you understand your options and review contract terms. Families can also access information through our internet-based portal to track care schedules and health care documentation.
