Winter Garden, Florida, was founded in the 1850's and became an agricultural community, vacation spot for northerners and fishing destination. Florida's mild winters have attracted retirees for many decades, and Winter Garden is no exception.
Because of the population of retirees, a focus on health care has brought top in-home care agencies to the area, but Winter Garden in-home care is for a greater range of people than seniors. People of all ages and situations may require in-home care for a variety of reasons. The young child whose parents both work; the mom whose busy schedule means she needs extra support with the children; the athlete whose sports injury and subsequent surgery left him with a significant recovery time; the patient with a chronic illness that prevents him from caring for himself - each of these circumstances can benefit from in-home care.
BrightStar is a full-service, in-home care agency in Winter Garden that meets the needs of all kinds of home health care situations. Before you choose a home care agency, it is important to understand what a home health agency is. An agency employs specialists so they can provide you with a variety of care options through their home care programs. When looking into agencies, you will want to know how they screen their employee-caregiver staff. Here is how BrightStar evaluates applicants:
