Problem / Empathy
After surgery, a stroke, or a serious fall, the last thing you want to do is haul your loved one in and out of a car for therapy three times a week. Hospital and clinic-based therapy is exhausting, and missed appointments slow recovery. In-home therapy fixes that — same licensed clinicians, same evidence-based protocols, delivered in the place your recovery actually happens.
You Don't Have To Do This Alone
The spouse who became a caregiver
Last year you were a partner. This year you’re also a transfer lift, a pill organizer, a shower aide, and a driver. MS home care exists so your marriage can feel like a marriage again. Respite hours, overnight shifts, or full-time support — we build the schedule around the version of your relationship you want to keep.
The adult child coordinating from 1,000 miles away
Your parent lives in South Florida. You don’t. The neurologist visits, the infusion schedule, the cane-to-walker-to-wheelchair transitions — someone needs eyes on the ground. A Focus Family Care RN gives you that, and a dedicated caregiver gives your parent consistency instead of a churn of part-time faces.
The newly diagnosed or recently progressed
A new diagnosis or a sudden progression is a lot. You don’t need to figure out the next six months in a single weekend. A licensed RN will come to the home for a free assessment, walk through what in-home care could look like for your exact version of MS, and give you real numbers on what insurance covers.
Why Families Choose Focus Family Care
Florida-Licensed & Medicare-Certified
Focus Family Care is licensed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and certified by Medicare. You’ll never wonder whether your care meets state and federal standards.
Care Starts In 24–48 Hours
Most families call us in a moment of crisis — after a hospital discharge, a fall, or a sudden diagnosis. We move fast: in most cases an RN visits within 24 hours and care begins within 48.
The Same Caregiver Every Visit
Continuity matters. We assign the same nurse, therapist, or aide to your loved one whenever possible — building trust, consistency, and better clinical outcomes.
RN-Built Care Plans
Every patient gets a personalized plan of care developed by a registered nurse — not a one-size-fits-all schedule. Plans are reviewed and updated as needs change.
Multilingual Care Team
Our caregivers speak English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole — important in a multicultural region like South Florida where comfort and trust depend on being understood.
We Verify Your Insurance For Free
Don’t guess what’s covered. Call us with your insurance card and we’ll verify your benefits at no cost — Medicare, Medicaid, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross, VA, and most private plans.
How To Get Started
Step 1
Call or request a callback
Reach out by phone at (561) 693-1311 or fill out the short form on this page. A care coordinator picks up — not a call center.
Step 2
Free in-home assessment
An RN visits your home (or your loved one’s home) at no charge. We discuss medical needs, daily routines, family preferences, language, and schedule.
Step 3
Custom care plan & caregiver match
Your RN builds a written plan of care. We hand-pick a caregiver matched to your loved one’s clinical needs, personality, and language — and introduce them to you before care begins.
Step 4
Care begins — usually within 24-48 hours
Most new patients start receiving care within 1-2 days of the assessment. Your care coordinator stays in regular contact to make sure everything is going well.

FAQ
01Does Medicare cover MS home care in Florida?
Medicare covers the skilled portions of MS home care — RN visits, physical, occupational, and speech therapy — for patients who are homebound and require skilled care. It generally does NOT cover long hours of personal-care-only services. At the free assessment, we map every covered hour against Medicare and any secondary insurance you have.
02Can the same caregiver come every day?
Yes. Continuity is especially important for MS patients because of cognitive fatigue and the cumulative fatigue of re-explaining daily routines. Your plan is built around a consistent primary caregiver.
03Do your caregivers know how to handle MS heat intolerance?
Yes. Our MS-trained caregivers manage heat intolerance proactively — cooler home temperatures, cooler bath water, cooling vests, timing outings for early morning or evening, and hydration. All of this is in the written care plan.
04What if my spouse / parent has both MS and early dementia?
Dual-diagnosis cases are common in later-stage MS. Our RN case managers build combined plans that address MS mobility and dementia cognition together, and assign caregivers trained in both.
05How quickly can MS home care start?
Most MS plans begin within 48-72 hours of the free RN assessment. Urgent cases (post-hospitalization, post-fall) can start sooner.
06Are you familiar with the National MS Society?
Yes — we work with National MS Society-referred families and attend South Florida chapter events. If you are already working with an MS Society navigator, we coordinate with them.
