📢 COVID-19 Update from Abby Services

We’re aware of a recent uptick in COVID-19 cases in our community. While we continue to refer caregivers to provide safe, skilled care, we want to remind families that a small COVID fee will apply only when caring for a client who has tested positive.

This fee helps us cover the cost of enhanced PPE and safety measures required to protect both our caregivers and other clients.

As always, our team is committed to providing compassionate, professional care — even in challenging circumstances. Thank you for your understanding and support!

💙 The Abby Services Team

Considering Hiring a Private Caregiver? Here’s What You Should Know.

When it comes to home care, hiring someone privately might seem simple—but it can leave families vulnerable to unvetted caregivers and zero oversight.

That’s why working with a licensed Nurse Registry like Abby Services is so important.

💼 Our Administrator isn’t just a name on paper—he’s a licensed Registered Nurse who:
✔️ Ensures all caregivers meet Florida’s strict requirements
✔️ Verifies licenses, training, and background screenings
✔️ Provides oversight and addresses client concerns
✔️ Stays accountable to AHCA, clients, and our community

🛡️ With a nurse as Administrator, you get real protection—not just promises.

“I didn’t realize how risky it could be to hire someone on my own until I spoke with Abby. Knowing their Administrator is a nurse who actually checks credentials and follows up made me feel safe—and that peace of mind is priceless.”
— Diane W., Abby Client

Don’t take chances with your loved one’s care.
Choose oversight. Choose protection.
Choose Abby Services.

🏡 We’re Not Just a Business — We’re Your Neighbors.

Abby Services isn’t part of a franchise. We’re a family-owned, locally operated home care company that’s been serving Fort Myers and the surrounding areas since 1997.

That means when you call us, you’re not routed through a call center. You’re speaking directly with someone who lives here, works here, and cares here.

We know the hospitals, the rehab centers, the neighborhoods — and more importantly, we know the people.

Being local means we can respond faster, make decisions in real time, and treat every client like the unique individual they are — not just a number in a national system.

We’re proud to be part of this community — and even prouder to care for the people who make it special. 💙

🧠 45% of dementia cases may be preventable.
That statistic stopped me in my tracks — not because it’s shocking (it is), but because it reinforces something I’ve felt for years: we have more power than we think.

In one of my FAVORITE podcasts, The Mel Robbins Podcast, neuroscientist shares the 3 factors that shape our brain health — and how women, in particular, can take steps toward better focus, energy, and long-term clarity.

This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a wake-up call.
And it’s the kind of conversation that fuels everything we do at Abby Services.

Because I’ve seen firsthand what dementia can do — to individuals, to families, to caregivers.
And I’ve also seen what a difference early education, meaningful support, and in-home care can make.

🎧 “The Ultimate Guide to the Female Brain” is absolutely worth a listen.

Today, we received a unique request from a skilled nursing unit: help a patient return home briefly to gather personal items before continuing their rehab journey.

we understand that healing isn’t just medical—it’s also emotional. Having familiar items nearby can make a big difference. We’re proud to provide compassionate support, even in the small things, to help our clients feel safe, seen, and supported.

🧠 Why is caregiving so hard in America?

NPR’s new documentary uncovers what families already know: caregiving is emotionally exhausting, financially draining, and too often unsupported.

Abby Services In-Home Care, we connect families with experienced independent caregivers who offer flexible, in-home support when it’s needed most.

💡 Long-term care insurance may help cover costs.

📲 We’re here to make caregiving feel possible again.

A new documentary on PBS shows what it's like to care for adult family members and recounts the history of caregiving policy in the U.S., revealing why those caring for family are often on their own.
