WHY CHOOSE FLOURISH IN PLACE HOME CARE SOLUTIONS?
Compassionate and Innovative Care
Why choose Flourish in Place? We empower clients to flourish by engaging their bodies, minds, and spirits. This mission sets us apart from other agencies. See our Vision, Mission, and Values.
Experienced and Highly Qualified Staff
Our caregivers have multiple years of professional experience. They receive many hours of specialized education and training on an ongoing basis. Our RN, Shaina, is passionate about caring for seniors and people with disabilities. She is a certified Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Trainer with the Florida Department of Elder Affairs. Shaina conducts our clients’ assessments to determine their care needs and create a personalized plan of care. She supervises, mentors, and trains all of our caregivers.
Caregivers are Background-Screened, Bonded, and Insured
All our caregivers have undergone finger printing and passed a level 2 criminal background screen and a drug test. Additionally, our Recruiter and Compliance Specialist, Melissa, has reviewed each caregiver’s driving record and employment references. The caregivers are covered by an employee fidelity bond and by $1 million in general, professional, auto liability, and workers compensation insurance.
W-2 Employees (Not independent contractors)
Flourish caregivers are well-compensated employees with benefits. We withhold income taxes and pay all employer payroll taxes.
Note: When selecting a home care agency in Florida, be careful! Many agencies in this state are “nurse registries.” These agencies serve merely as brokers for homecare workers, who are treated not as their employees but as independent contractors. These nurse registries may send homecare workers to a client’s home (sometimes at below market rates), but they are not responsible for managing the caregivers, withholding their taxes, or providing workers compensation and other insurance. The families are responsible for these tasks and any legal liabilities. Furthermore, the family is responsible for creating the care plan for their loved one. Flourish in Place is a licensed home health agency, with only W-2 employees. Our families can rest assured we will send safe and qualified caregivers. Our nurse creates a personalized care plan for each client, and she makes sure that our caregivers are following that plan.
A+ Rating
We are one of only two Central Florida agencies that has received an A+ Rating from the Home Care Standards Bureau. This rating certifies that Flourish in Place has met and/or exceeded all Regulatory Board Criteria and has agreed to abide by the HCSB Code of Ethics and Standards. Flourish in Place is the only home care agency with this rating in Central Florida whose nurse is a certified Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Trainer.

Hands-On Management
Our office manager, nurse, and client care specialist communicate directly with families, care administrators, and referral sources.
Technology-Driven Practice
We use a state-of-the-art web-based platform to manage our business and maintain client records. One unique technology tool in this platform is the “Family Room,” an easy-to-use, secure portal that keeps family members, caregivers, and Flourish staff in close communication.
Special Programs for Veterans
Our VA Pension program helps eligible veterans and their surviving spouses qualify for up to $2,700 per month to pay for personal care services in their homes! Read more about this wonderful benefit and how Flourish can help vets qualify. In addition, we care for many local veterans under the VA Choice Program.
Enhanced Quality Through Network Associations
We are affiliated with AHI Group, Inc., a network of more than 300 home care agencies that shares best practices, promotes continual learning/education, and develops service competencies within its network.
