Fannie is a godsend for my sister, Rose. In Rose's words," Fannie keeps me grounded. Fannie is a good cook, housekeeper, and listener. She teaches me things I didn't know about myself. She builds up my self esteem by dressing me nicely, applying make up, and encouraging me to exercise and do simple activities. Fannie is very meticulous and takes care of all the little things. She also cares for my beloved dog, Romeo." I would like to add, that Fannie is extremely reliable, competent, and conscientious. She has given my sister a new outlook on life. And, we are blessed to have her.

Gratitude for Exceptional Caregivers Recognizing Compassion and Dedication I feel incredibly fortunate to have Larissa and Fatima caring for my husband. Alzheimer’s is a devastating disease, but they see him as the person he truly is, beyond the illness. Transition to New Caregivers For about two years, I relied on Home Instead and had the same caregiver, Shannon, with us six days a week. When Shannon had to leave due to her own health diagnosis, I was blessed to have Larissa and Fatima step in and seamlessly continue caring for my husband. Their presence allows me to be his wife for part of the day, rather than just his caregiver. They have adjusted to changes in his mobility, transitioning from assisting him with a rollator to providing care when he became bed bound following a fall and hospital stay. Upholding Dignity and Calm They remain calm during repetitious questions and outbursts. They give him dignity while helping with his baths and personal hygiene, they keep his pride intact. Communication and Attentiveness They keep me informed of his attitude and his appetite. They notice any new bump or bruise. They have helped turn difficult mornings into peaceful ones. Personalized Care and Comfort Whether it’s Fatima playing his favorite music while bathing, or Larissa watching his beloved cowboy shows and asking questions he can answer, they intuitively seem to know what he needs to feel safe and loved. He is in excellent hands. June G

This question is very ambiguous, however my experience with Home Instead has been good and I have no complaints. My experience with my client has been fulfilling as I watched him going from being frustrated and confused to confident and assured.

Helpful FAQs

If you're wondering whether it's time to get a little extra help at home, you're not alone. We talk with families across Orange Park every week who are asking the same question. Sometimes the signs are subtle—a few missed medications, more isolation, or a change in hygiene. Other times, it's a sudden shift after an illness or hospital stay.

At Home Instead, we've helped families recognize those signs and build a care plan that supports independence—not takes it away.

Here are some common signs it might be time to consider in-home care:

  • Missed medications, meals, or appointments
  • Challenges with bathing, dressing, or mobility
  • Increased forgetfulness or signs of memory loss
  • Withdrawal from social activities
  • Stacks of unopened mail or unpaid bills
  • Family caregiver stress or burnout


The good news? Help doesn't have to mean moving out. Our Care Pros help older adults stay safe and supported right in their own homes.

Still unsure? A care consultation is a great place to start. We'll listen, answer your questions, and help you explore your options—with no pressure or obligation.

If you're doing your best to support a loved one at home, it's normal to wonder if bringing in help means giving something up. But in our experience working with families in the Orange Park area since 1997, we've seen the opposite: in-home care can help you get back what matters most—quality time, peace of mind, and space to breathe.

Here's when home care might be the right step:

  • You're juggling caregiving with work, family, and your own well-being
  • Your loved one's needs are growing beyond what you can manage alone
  • You're noticing signs of burnout, frustration, or fatigue
  • You want a consistent, trusted partner to rely on

Home Instead Care Pros provide support that fits your routine—not the other way around. Whether it's meal prep, a walk, or help getting to appointments, our care is designed to enhance—not replace—your role.

You don't have to wait for a crisis. Most families who start care with us say they wish they had done it sooner.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer—but if your loved one wants to stay in their own home, in-home care can be the most personal, flexible, and reassuring option.

In Orange Park, staying home isn't just about comfort—it's about staying connected to what matters.


In-home care vs. assisted living

Assisted living can be great for those who want a communal setting and are ready to relocate. But if your loved one wants to stay at home, in-home care offers:

  • One-on-one attention in familiar surroundings
  • A flexible schedule that fits your lifestyle
  • Support with meals, mobility, personal care, and companionship
  • Help from Care Pros who get to know your loved one—building trust and routine


In-home care vs. hiring a private caregiver

Hiring an independent caregiver can seem less expensive—but it comes with risk. As the employer, you'd be responsible for payroll, insurance, and coverage when they can't show up.

With Home Instead, we handle everything:

  • Professional hiring, training, and supervision
  • Background checks, insurance, and 24/7 backup support
  • Personalized matches and no long-term contracts

We've delivered countless hours of care across Orange Park—and we're proud to offer a team you can count on.

In-home care is all about helping your loved one stay independent, comfortable, and safe—right in the place they know and love. From simple companionship to specialized dementia support, our Care Pros are here to help make life easier.



Here's how it works with Home Instead Orange Park:
  1. We start with a conversation. We'll meet with you in your home—and listen closely. What does your loved one need help with? What do they enjoy? What's most important to them? This free consultation helps us create a customized care plan.
  2. We build your care team. We'll match your loved one with a trained, compassionate Care Pro based on skills, schedule, and compatibility. Many of our Care Pros speak Spanish and bring years of experience supporting chronic conditions or memory care.
  3. We start care quickly. We can often begin care within 48 hours. Services may include bathing, dressing, transportation, meal prep, medication reminders, and more. We also offer 24-hour care, dementia support, and end of life care.
  4. We stay connected. Our Orange Park office is available 24/7 for support. Your dedicated Care Manager will stay in touch to make sure everything's working—and adjust care as needs change.

It's care on your terms. Ready to get started?

At Home Instead, we don't just send a caregiver—we introduce you to a Care Pro. It's a title we take seriously, because our team members bring more than just help—they bring heart, consistency, and respect for the life your loved one has built.



Here's what sets our Orange Park Care Pros apart:
  • They're trained and trustworthy. Each Care Pro goes through a thorough background check, drug screening, and extensive training—including how to support Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and chronic health conditions.
  • They're employees—not contractors. That means we handle taxes, scheduling, and supervision. We also provide liability insurance and workers' comp, so you're fully protected.
  • They're matched with care. We take time to match each Care Pro based on your loved one's personality, preferences, and needs. It's not just about filling a shift—it's about building a relationship.
  • They show up, and we've got your back. If your regular Care Pro can't make it, we'll send a qualified backup—no scrambling on your end. Our 24/7 support line means help is always a call away.

Whether it's help with a shower, a ride to your local medical center, or someone to listen to stories from the garden, our Care Pros are here to bring comfort, dignity, and connection. We’ve been caring for the community since 1997.
