Ft. Lauderdale Senior Home Care FAQs
Wisdom Senior Care Ft. Lauderdale understands that finding in-home care for a loved one can bring up many questions. Our goal is to provide clear, helpful answers to help families make informed decisions about senior care in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
What is in-home senior care?
In-home senior care provides professional support to older adults in the comfort of their own homes. Our caregivers assist with companionship, personal care, transportation, and specialized services such as memory care, respite care, hospice support, and care for ALS and Parkinson’s disease. Our goal is to help seniors age safely and comfortably without having to move into a facility.
How do I know if my parent needs in-home care?
Some signs that your parent may benefit from in-home care include difficulty with daily activities, missed medications, changes in hygiene, increased forgetfulness, mobility challenges, or signs of loneliness and isolation. If you’re unsure, we can help assess your loved one’s needs during an initial consultation and recommend a personalized care plan.
Is a nursing home the only option for my aging parent?
No. While nursing homes are appropriate in certain situations, many seniors can safely remain at home with professional support. In-home care provides one-on-one attention and allows seniors to stay in familiar surroundings, maintain routines, and preserve independence. For many families in Ft. Lauderdale, home care offers a more personal and flexible alternative.

Can care be provided 24 hours a day?
