Hospice Caregiver Support in Fort Myers, 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 Fort Myers 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 on Corporate Ct. in Fort Myers and serving all of Lee County.
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.

Families we work with are often already connected with a hospice team — most commonly Hope Hospice, VITAS Healthcare, or Avow. We're happy to coordinate alongside whichever 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.

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.
