The most important things to verify are licensing and supervision. A legitimate West Palm Beach home health agency is licensed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), and the strongest agencies are also accredited (for example by ACHC) and Medicare-certified. Ask whether a registered nurse writes and oversees the plan of care, and whether caregivers pass a Florida Level 2 background screening. Focus Family Care meets all of these and provides home health care in West Palm Beach.
Questions to Ask Before You Choose
Ask how quickly care can start, whether the agency handles both skilled and non-medical care, how caregivers are matched and supervised, and which insurance the agency accepts. Focus Family Care can usually begin care within 24 hours, provides skilled nursing and non-medical personal care under one roof, matches caregivers by need and language, and accepts Medicare, Florida Medicaid, long-term care insurance, and private pay.
