Hospice Caregiver Support in Cape Coral, FL
When hospice becomes part of your family's journey, a caregiver can help carry the load between visits from the hospice team. Abby Services refers screened, experienced caregivers to Cape Coral families, so your loved one is never alone and you get a chance to just be family again.
A local team, not a call center — based in Fort Myers and serving all of Lee County, including Cape Coral.
Trusted hospice caregivers for Cape Coral families
Cape Coral has been part of our family's story in a way that goes beyond business. My own father was a Hope Hospice patient, and he spent his final days at the Hope Hospice House right here in Cape Coral — the same team many of the families we work with know or will come to know.
Earlier in my nursing career, I worked as a hospice nurse myself, caring for patients and families through the hardest chapter there is. That's not something I read about — I've lived it from both the nurse's side and the family's side. I know what those final weeks ask of a family, and I know how much it helps to have an extra set of hands at home who isn't trying to also run the household, sleep, or hold down a job. We're a nurse registry, not a home care agency — we refer independently employed caregivers who work alongside your hospice team's plan of care, not in place of it.

Local hospice resources in Cape Coral
The Hope Hospice House itself is right here in Cape Coral, so many families we work with are already connected with that team, or with VITAS Healthcare or Avow. We're happy to coordinate alongside whichever hospice team is involved, and can point you toward any of these if you're just getting started. A caregiver referred through Abby Services works alongside your hospice team's plan of care, not in place of it.

Cape Coral hospice care — common questions
Alongside. Your hospice team — nurse, aide, chaplain, social worker — continues to lead the plan of care and manage medical needs. A caregiver referred through Abby Services fills the hours in between: presence, personal care, and support so your loved one isn't alone and your family gets a break.
Typically not. The Medicare/insurance hospice benefit covers your hospice team's visits, but not additional private caregiver hours at home. Most families cover a caregiver privately, though some long-term care insurance policies help — we can talk through what's typical for your situation.
Yes. Families arrange everything from a few hours a day to overnight or live-in coverage, and this often increases as needs change. We'll help you find a caregiver whose availability matches.
Yes. Some families bring in a caregiver before a hospice referral is in place, simply because more help is needed day to day. If a hospice team joins later, your caregiver can continue working alongside them.
We aim for consistency — the same caregiver whenever possible, since familiarity matters, especially in this season. If a change is ever needed, you can request a different caregiver at any time.
Often within a few days, which gives time to find the right fit. In urgent situations, care can be arranged much faster — call us and we'll prioritize your search.
Home is wherever your loved one is — including a Hope Hospice House or another inpatient facility. Families direct where and when they want support, and a caregiver referred through Abby Services can be there with you in that setting too, not just at a private residence. Give us a call and we'll talk through what would help.
