Acti-Kare is a leading in-home care provider across the United States. For over a decade, our franchises have personalized in-home care services around your loved one and the family. This allows you or your loved one to receive superior care in the comfort of their own home. A home is something you build over years and years of your life. You form bonds, make memories, and experience life in your home. So it is understandable why it is so important for your elderly family members to want to stay in their home even when they may not be able to do it alone. This is where Acti-Kare can help your family. Acti-Kare provides top of the line in-home care from our trained and professional caregivers for your loved ones in need. Whether it be handling grooming and hygiene such as showering or handling nutrition, Acti-Kare is here to support and enrich the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of your family member in need right from the comfort of their own home. Acti-Kare’s trained in-home caregivers will provide help with your loved one’s personal care needs in the home. One of the most significant personal care issues is grooming and hygiene. This can become a frustrating and challenging task to many with physical and cognitive limitations. With a trained Acti-Kare caregiver in the home, your loved one will get assistance with everything from showering and bathing, to shaving, and brushing teeth. Keeping up with regular hygiene is very important to the physical and mental health of your loved one, and with Acti-Kare it will never be an issue. Acti-Kare caregivers also understand the sensitivity and discretion required when dealing with toileting and other incontinence care needs. Not having proper assistance with these issues can lead to many things from unpleasant odors to severe skin infections. With in-home care provided by Acti-Kare, your loved one will get the care and attention needed while maintaining respect and sensitivity. Remaining active in the later years of your life is a great way to stimulate your body and mind and is very important. This has become an essential part of the Acti-Kare service. Starting with transferring and positioning within the house, Acti-Kare’s trained caregivers help your loved one stay mobile within their home. Many elderly people with physical limitations are at risk of bedsores, muscle atrophy, and breathing and digestive problems. Staying in one position in bed, seats, and wheelchairs for too long can increase these risks. This can be remedied by having an Acti-Kare professional in the home. Helping your loved one change positions move throughout the house every day is a top priority of your Acti-Kare in-home caregiver. On top of staying mobile within the home, it is essential for your loved one to remain mobile outside the home and live their golden years the way they want. Acti-Kare’s trained caregivers ensure that your loved ones get from place to place with safety and comfort. Nutrition and diet are vital in your loved one’s golden years but can be challenging to manage on their own. Your loved one may not be able to cook anymore, they may not be able to eat certain foods, or they may be on a special diet for medical reasons such as diabetes. Maintaining a nutritious diet can help the physical and mental well-being of your loved one in their later years. Whether your loved one needs assistance preparing and cooking meals or sticking to a prescribed diet for health reasons, Acti-Kare’s trained caregivers can make meals a positive experience. On top of keeping up with nutrition, Acti-Kare’s trained caregivers can make mealtime a social and mentally stimulating part of the day. Giving your loved one a companion to spend meals with engaging in conversation can make all the difference in the world. Staying socially engaged in public as well as in the home is a critical part of your loved one’s life and can help reduce the risk of depression and other cognitive issues. Whether it be out at the grocery store or right in their living room, Acti-Kare caregivers provide your loved ones with friendly companionship that help keep them stimulated and engaged in their everyday lives. General housekeeping is another everyday task that can become difficult in the later years of your loved one’s life due to physical or cognitive limitations. Acti-Kare’s trained caregivers provide housekeeping services that include: Vacuuming, sweeping, organizing closets and drawers, dusting, mopping, and anything else the home may need. Acti-Kare caregivers can also take over any, and all laundry needs your loved ones may have from washing and drying to ironing and putting away clean clothes. Acti-Kare caregivers also understand that getting around town can become very difficult in the later years of your loved one’s life.

Your loved ones can even accompany our caregivers to stay active and enjoy social time with others.

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Fort Myers:
Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
---|---|---|---|
Meals on Wheels | (239) 332-7687 | 3429 Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard, Fort Myers, FL 33916 | The Community Cooperative is a nonprofit organization that runs the Meals on Wheels program in Fort Myers. Volunteers distribute one meal a day to eligible seniors in the Fort Myers area from Monday to Friday. Frozen meals can be purchased for the weekend. There is a small fee charged for each meal but financial aid is available for those that cannot afford the payment. Additionally, the program provides food and care products for the pets who belong to homebound seniors. The aim of the program is to provide one nutritionally balanced meal to seniors each day so that they continue to safely live in their own homes for as long as possible. |
Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program | (239) 652-6900 | 2830 Winkler Avenue, Suite 112, Fort Myers, FL 33916 | This is a federal and state-funded program that aims to assist low-income households who are facing an energy crisis. One resident of the home must be over the age of 60 in order to receive assistance. An energy crisis occurs if the residents are facing a utilities shut-off notice or a delinquent bill. Households are eligible for energy assistance twice a year: once in the cooler months and once in the summer. |
Respite Care | (850) 414-2000 | 4040 Esplanade Way, Tallahassee, FL 32399 | This is a state-funded volunteer program that provides respite services for families and caregivers. The aim of the program is to increase the ability of families to care for homebound elderly family members on a long-term basis. Respite services are available in the evenings and over weekends to help ease the burden of care. All of the caregivers are volunteers who are carefully screened and matched with clients who have similar personalities and interests. There is no charge for the relief service, but donations to the program are gratefully accepted. |
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
