Senior Care

Underhill Home Healthcare is the perfect solution for Jacksonville seniors who aren’t ready to leave their homes to live with relatives or move into an institutional setting, but due to illness or chronic conditions they may require some support to remain at home and receive proper in-home care. We improve the quality of life by providing compassionate, one-on-one care in the comfort of your own home. Many clients also use our In Home Healthcare services to provide additional care for their loved ones at Home or in Assisted Living Facilities, Hospitals or Nursing Homes.

Highly qualified and trained caregivers and CNA’s (Certified Nursing Assistant) are ready to help you and your loved ones with a variety of daily activities. All of our services for seniors are non-medical in nature.

How hourly Senior Care works:

Most of our clients do not require live-in care. Many use our caregivers on an hourly basis, for example, just during the night, or just on the weekends, or just for four hours a day.  Underhill Home Health Care is flexible and happy to provide care for seniors, whenever and wherever needed.

How live-in Senior care works:

A live-in caregiver stays in the home 24 hours a day, and is available to assist morning, noon and night. If we provide live-in care for 7 days a week, we assign a primary caregiver and a back-up caregiver to the client. The primary Senior Caregiver provides care for 4-5 days a week, and the back-up Senior Caregiver takes over for the remainder of the week.
