Why share this information.
As one of the premier In-Home Care services in Fort Myers, we get a lot of calls from families seeking care for a local senior.
At Abby Services we work with Seniors who are paying privately for home care. We also work with some veteran benefits and long-term care insurances. Unfortunately, not all seniors have access to these funding sources.
One funding source for private In-Home care is Medicaid benefits. These are generally accessed through the Medicaid Waiver program. While not experts in this area we know who is, and that’s Lee CountyUnited way 211. By contacting this free resource local residents can be connected with a number of providers who can assist them.
