Trusted hospice caregivers for Fort Myers families
Fort Myers is home — for the business and for our family. Our office has been right here since 2000, and this community isn't just where we do business — it's where we live.
Hospice care is personal to me in a way most of what we do isn't. Early in my nursing career, I worked as a hospice nurse, caring for patients and families through the hardest chapter there is. And I've sat on the other side of it too — my own father was a Hope Hospice patient, and he spent his final days at the Hope Hospice House in Cape Coral. I know what that team does, and I know what it means to have extra hands at home in those weeks and months, not just at the end. That's the experience I bring to matching Fort Myers families with a caregiver: someone who can sit with your loved one, help with the physical care, and give you room to just be present. We're a nurse registry, not a home care agency — we refer independently employed caregivers, and your hospice team's plan of care stays in the lead.

Fort Myers 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.
