Mobile Physician

Proudly serving families in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs, and surrounding Southwest Florida communities.

In This Article

For many seniors in Fort Myers and Cape Coral, the hardest part of a doctor’s appointment is simply getting there. When leaving the house becomes difficult, two kinds of support can make a real difference — and they work well together: a physician who comes to you, and an in-home caregiver who helps at home.

Abby Services has spent years helping families across Southwest Florida find experienced private caregivers. We’re not a medical provider, but we know the area because we live here, and we’re glad to point families toward the local resources that help people stay safe and independent at home. House-call and concierge medical practices are one of those resources.

What is a mobile physician or house-call doctor?

A mobile physician — sometimes called a house-call doctor — brings primary or specialty medical care to the patient’s home instead of requiring a trip to the office. These practices typically focus on homebound patients, people with limited mobility, and those managing complex or chronic conditions. Some operate through Medicare and standard insurance; others use a concierge model with a membership fee. Coverage areas, services, and costs vary, so it’s worth calling to confirm the details for your situation.

How an in-home caregiver works alongside a house-call doctor

A house-call doctor handles the medical side of things. An in-home caregiver handles everything around it — the day-to-day support that helps someone stay safe and comfortable between visits.

The caregivers Abby Services refers are experienced, screened private caregivers who are independently employed and directed by the client. You decide when, where, and how much support you’d like, and you stay in control of the arrangement. In our experience, pairing a house-call physician with a dependable caregiver at home is one of the most effective ways to help someone remain independent.

What caregivers referred through Abby Services can help with

Caregivers referred through Abby Services can assist with a wide range of everyday tasks, including:

  • Bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene
  • Meal preparation and light housekeeping
  • Laundry and linens
  • Medication reminders
  • Mobility, transfers, and monitoring for safety
  • Toileting
  • Accompanying to appointments and errands
  • Pet care
  • Communicating with family

Every situation is different. Tell us what kind of help you’re looking for, and our office will work to match you with caregivers whose experience and availability fit your needs. If a caregiver isn’t the right fit, you’re always free to request another.

Not sure if in-home care is right? Ask your doctor.

Your physician — or a visiting mobile physician — can help you decide whether in-home support makes sense. It’s often helpful when someone has trouble with one or more activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, or moving safely around the home.

If you have questions, call Abby Services at 239-590-0861 to speak with our office.
