Alternative Homemaking with a Heart of SW Florida, LLC. is a licensed Home Health Agency that provides private duty, skilled nursing, personal care, and homemaker / companion services, or assisted living services for seniors, elderly, disabled, and convalescing individuals throughout Charlotte and Sarasota Counties in Florida.

We work with the client, guardian, or family members to design a home care plan appropriate to the client's needs. This plan is based on specific information about the individual such as medications prescribed, treatment orders from the healthcare provider, our staff's observations, and your personal requests. As our client's needs change, so will the care plan.

Our RN's, LPN's, CNA's, Home Health Aides, Homemakers, and Companions are flexible and will perform needed services wherever an individual resides, whether that be in his or her own home, with family members, in an assisted living facility, a nursing home, or even in a hospital. Many aging persons are frail and need assistance with common activities of daily living such as housekeeping, meal preparation, and transportation, while others suffer from loneliness and depression and simply benefit from the companionship of a caring and trained caregiver. Others may need a custom tailored medical care plan utilizing our skilled nursing, bathing, medication setup and reminders. ALL WITH NO SERVICE CONTRACTS!!
