Right at Home

Right at Home is a homecare agency serving Jacksonville, Florida and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.

Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.

In Florida, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration and generally must maintain a Homemaker and Companion Services Registration or Nurse Registry License. Florida requires registration for homemaker/companion services and licensure for nurse registries.

Payment Options: In Florida, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact Florida Agency for Health Care Administration or visit https://ahca.myflorida.com/medicaid/statewide_mc/smmc_ltc.shtml to learn about eligibility and how to apply.

When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns. Visit Florida Agency for Health Care Administration for more information about homecare services in Florida.

Licensing requirements and regulations may change. We recommend verifying current requirements directly with your state's licensing agency.
