Horizon Care Services provides personalized private-duty home care services in Palm Beach County, helping older adults and other individuals remain comfortable and supported in their own homes.
Care may include companionship, personal-care assistance, bathing, meal preparation, mobility support, medication reminders, transportation, respite care and specialized nonclinical assistance. Every care arrangement is developed around the client’s abilities, routines, preferences, home environment and requested schedule.
Horizon Care Services assists clients in private residences, condominiums, apartments and senior communities throughout Palm Beach County. Services are provided according to an individualized care plan and caregiver availability.
Private-duty home care provides personalized assistance with everyday activities so a client can continue living at home with additional support.
Unlike a medical office visit or intermittent home health appointment, private-duty care focuses primarily on the client’s daily routine. Depending on the care plan, a caregiver may help with personal hygiene, meals, mobility, household activities, transportation, companionship and family respite.
Private-duty assistance does not replace physicians, nurses, therapists or emergency medical services. Clinical services are performed only by appropriately licensed professionals when authorized and included in the plan of care.

Care may be arranged for:
The recommended schedule depends on the client’s needs, nighttime routines, mobility, requested services, home environment and caregiver availability.
Live-in care and rotating 24-hour care are different arrangements. Horizon Care Services can explain which option may be appropriate following an assessment.
The process begins with a discussion about the client’s daily routine, challenges, requested schedule and family concerns.
Horizon Care Services reviews the client’s abilities, personal-care needs, mobility, home environment and requested services.
The care plan identifies the services caregivers may provide, the requested schedule, relevant routines and authorized reporting procedures.
Caregiver matching may consider qualifications, experience, availability, personality, communication preferences, pets and the client’s daily routine.
The care arrangement can be reviewed when the client’s needs, schedule or condition changes. A meaningful change in mobility or health may require reassessment before the previous care routine continues.

Home care is not the only option for every family. Some clients may eventually require assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing or another residential setting.
Horizon Care Services can help families explore available care-management and placement resources. Placement assistance should be presented separately from private-duty home-care services so families understand which organization provides each service and whether any referral relationships apply.
Horizon Care Services has assisted local families for more than 22 years. Care arrangements are built around the individual rather than a predetermined package.
Families may choose Horizon because of its:
No caregiver or home-care plan can guarantee a particular health outcome, prevent every fall or replace necessary medical treatment.
Finding the right support during a health, memory or mobility change can feel overwhelming. Horizon Care Services can help you understand the available private-duty home-care options and develop a personalized arrangement for yourself or someone you love.

Our staff works above and beyond to match the right caregiver with the personality of the client and the type of care needed. It’s one of the most important things that we do! Through years of experience in the health care industry, we have found that the better the match, the better the care.
Since we pride ourselves on matching the right caregiver with the right client, we always try to maintain the same caregiver with each client for continuity of care. Even when the assigned caregiver takes a day off, we try to schedule the same replacement caregiver.
Each caregiver must have at least 2 years prior experience before they can apply for work with our company. They must pass a written test before being considered as a representative of Horizon Care Services, after which they go through an extensive certification process and orientation. Background checks are thoroughly researched, as is their work experience with previous employers. All caregivers must have proper certifications from the State.
All of our caregivers are given a full report on your condition when they are assigned. We do our very best to make sure that all of their questions regarding your care are answered before they arrive at your home.
Should there be any additional questions or concerns, both you and the caregiver have 24/7 access to our staff to give prompt answers. If the phone is not directly answered, it means that we are helping another client. Please leave a message and you will be called within 15 minutes!
With over two decades of experience, we have developed professional relationships with only the premier providers located throughout South Florida. Plus, we have raised the bar on an expected level of service in the area. We expect more from our employees, from our caregivers, and from the professionals that we work with. We demand high quality, which means you are getting the best care available.
We have many home care programs available for special needs clients including Alzheimer’s/Dementia, Parkinson’s, Oncology, and both Pre – and Post-Surgical care. Should you require care from one of those programs or other condition, you can rest assured that we will provide a caregiver extensively trained in that specialty area.
Our caregivers are required to report to the office immediately should there be any changes in your physical or mental status. They are experienced and prepared in a proper course of action in the event of any emergency.
Yes, we insure our company, and each of our caregivers is required to carry their own personal liability insurance policy which is applied for and tracked by our company, so there is double the coverage.
