Where we come from
Guardian Care grew out of hospital medicine. That background shapes how we work. When a discharge planner hands a family a page of orders and a follow-up schedule, we can explain what matters in it and what it will mean at home. Years inside the medical community here also mean we know the physicians, therapists, elder law attorneys, and communities families end up needing, and who to call when something comes up.
What we do
We keep a registry of licensed and certified caregivers: registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, and home health aides. Each one is screened, background-checked, and verified before they join. When a family calls, we learn what the day looks like, then introduce caregivers whose skills and temperament fit. The family meets the caregiver before care begins. If the fit is not right, we introduce someone else.
We also help families with two things they are often left to work out alone: finding the right assisted living or memory care community, and the Medicaid and Medicare paperwork.
What we value
- Compassion. Caregivers are chosen for how they treat people, not only for what is on their certificate.
- Safety. Every caregiver in the registry has passed a Level-2 FBI background check and holds a current license or certificate, verified before any introduction.
- Dignity. Care fits the life already being lived: the routines, the house, the people, and the pets.
- Reliability. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, and when something needs to change, one call arranges it.
How a registry works
Under Florida law, caregivers introduced by a nurse registry work as independent contractors. Guardian Care screens, verifies, and matches. The registry does not monitor, supervise, manage, or train the caregivers it introduces. Read how the registry model works and what it means for your family.
