Alzheimer's & Dementia Care in Fort Myers, FL
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or dementia is exhausting — and you shouldn't have to do it alone. Abby Services refers screened, experienced caregivers to Fort Myers families, so your loved one can stay safe and settled in the home they know.
A local team, not a call center — based on Corporate Ct. in Fort Myers and serving all of Lee County.
Trusted dementia caregivers for Fort Myers families
Fort Myers is home — for the business and for our family. Our office has been right here in Whiskey Creek since 2000, and I live just off McGregor Boulevard myself. Between coaching soccer and baseball, serving as a Cubmaster and Scoutmaster, and sponsoring local youth teams over the years, this community isn't just where we do business — it's where we live.
My own father lived with Parkinson's-induced dementia, so I understand what this disease does to a family — not just from my nursing career, but from watching it happen to someone I loved. Before Abby Services, I spent years as an ICU nurse at HealthPark, caring for patients with memory impairment throughout the Fort Myers area. That's the experience I bring to matching families with the right caregiver: I know what the hard days look like, and I know what kind of help actually makes a difference. We're a nurse registry, not a home care agency — we refer independently employed caregivers with dementia-care experience, and you stay in control of the schedule and how care is directed.
What dementia care at home actually looks like
Every family's situation is different, but caregivers referred through Abby Services commonly help with:
Safety and Supervision
Daily structure
Sundowning Support
Medication Reminders
Family Respite
Local care, wherever home is in Fort Myers
Local memory-care resources in Fort Myers
Alongside a referred caregiver, many Fort Myers families also lean on the Alzheimer's Association Florida Gulf Coast Chapter, based in Fort Myers, for support groups and care-planning resources; Lee Health's geriatric and memory-care specialists for medical management; and local adult day programs for part-time structured engagement. We're happy to point you toward these resources as part of getting your family set up.

Fort Myers dementia care — common questions
Yes — Florida now requires caregivers who work with Alzheimer's and dementia clients to complete state-approved ADRD training, a requirement that took full effect July 1, 2026. Abby Services confirms that caregivers in our referral network meet this requirement. Founder Scott Strachan, RN, also founded C-E-U.com — a wholly separate company built and developed to support caregivers seeking this important training — disclosed here as a related business.
Yes. As care needs change — especially with wandering or nighttime confusion — many Fort Myers families move from a few hours a day to live-in or around-the-clock support. Day coverage, night coverage, or a mix of both are all available, and we help you adjust the schedule as your loved one's needs change, without starting over with a new search.
Yes. In addition to a referred caregiver, Fort Myers families often connect with The Dubin Center, a local Alzheimer's resource center offering support groups and individualized family assistance, and the Alzheimer's Association Florida Gulf Coast Chapter for education and additional support groups. Lee Health also offers dementia caregiver support resources. We're happy to point you toward these as part of getting your family set up.
Consistency matters a lot with dementia — familiar faces and routines reduce confusion and anxiety. Our strong, long-standing presence in Fort Myers means we've built relationships with a number of time-tested local caregivers, helping us match your loved one with someone who can provide the ongoing, consistent care families want and deserve — not rotating staff.
Not at all. Many families start with just a few hours a week for companionship and light supervision, then adjust as needs change. We've supported Fort Myers families through these transitions since we started in 1997, and starting early often means your loved one gets used to a caregiver before more support is needed.
