Rehabilitation and Therapy in Margate

Rehabilitation and Therapy in Margate, FL

Recovering from a fall, a surgery, or a new diagnosis is one of the hardest chapters a family faces, and the right therapy at home can change how quickly and safely a loved one in Margate regains their footing. CareGivers of America connects Margate families with licensed physical, occupational, and speech therapists through our sister company, ReadyCare Home Health, so that recovery can happen in the comfort of home rather than a facility.

ReadyCare has served South Florida families since 2006, helping seniors throughout Broward County rebuild strength, regain independence, and return to the life they know. Our Margate office puts that support close to home, with a team that understands this community and is ready to help the moment a family needs it.

What Is Rehabilitation and Therapy?

Rehabilitation and therapy is skilled, licensed therapy delivered in the home rather than at a clinic or hospital, most often needed after a hospital stay, surgery, injury, or a new diagnosis that affects movement, daily function, or communication. Physical therapy focuses on rebuilding strength, improving balance, and reducing fall risk. Occupational therapy helps a person relearn the daily tasks of home life, from bathing and dressing to cooking and moving safely around the house. Speech therapy addresses communication and swallowing difficulties that can follow a stroke or other health event. All three are provided by licensed therapists who come to the home, so recovery does not require repeated trips to an outside facility.

How CareGivers of America Provides Rehabilitation and Therapy in Margate

Rehabilitation and therapy services for Margate families are coordinated through ReadyCare Home Health, an independent, Medicare-certified home health agency accredited by the National Accreditation Commission for Health Care. ReadyCare has provided skilled therapy and home health services throughout Broward County since 2006, and shares an office location with CareGivers of America right here in Margate. A licensed physical, occupational, or speech therapist visits the home to build a treatment plan around a family’s specific recovery goals, whether that means walking safely again after a fall, relearning daily routines, or regaining clear speech after a stroke. For families already working with CareGivers of America for companion or personal care, our teams coordinate closely so that therapy and daily support fit together into one continuum of care, rather than two disconnected services.

Signs Your Loved One May Need Rehabilitation and Therapy

A recent hospitalization, surgery, or fall requiring structured recovery support
Noticeable decline in strength, balance, or mobility around the home
New difficulty with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or preparing meals
New or worsening speech, communication, or swallowing difficulty
A recent stroke or diagnosis affecting movement, coordination, or cognition
Increased fall risk, or a growing fear of falling at home

CareGivers of America and ReadyCare Home Health are independent licensed entities. However, our teams collaborate closely to help coordinate both Medicare-reimbursed and medical home care services when needed, providing a more complete continuum of care.

Supporting You Through Life’s Journey

Comprehensive Home Care

Companionship

Having a friendly and trusted companion around makes every day at home brighter. At CareGivers of America, the companion caregivers we refer enjoy spending time with seniors. While there, they can also perform services ranging from assistance with light housekeeping and routine exercise to facilitating socialization with peers.

Dementia Care

If they aren’t a safety risk to themselves or others, helping a senior family member with dementia stay in their home can be highly beneficial. The committed, highly qualified caregivers we refer can assist clients with Alzheimer’s Disease or other forms of dementia in the comfort of their private residences.

In addition to helping the patient feel safe and secure – reducing the likelihood of anxiety or confusion episodes – our Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care services relieve the family’s responsibilities so they can stay refreshed.

Fall Prevention

Fall risk rarely appears overnight. It often starts with small hesitations: a hand reaching for the wall before crossing a room, a slower, more careful trip down the stairs, or a moment of dizziness after standing up too quickly. A recent change in eyesight, a new medication, or a decrease in regular activity can all quietly raise the risk, without an obvious warning sign. For some families, it’s a near-miss that brings the issue into focus; for others, it’s simply noticing that a parent seems less steady than they used to be.

Geriatric Care Management

For many families, the tipping point isn’t one big event; it’s the slow realization that keeping track of everything has become a job in itself. A parent might be juggling multiple specialists who don’t communicate with each other, or a recent hospital discharge might come with instructions no one has time to fully follow. Long-distance caregivers often feel this most acutely, trying to manage a loved one’s care from a different city or state with limited visibility into what’s actually happening day to day.

GUIDE Dementia Program

Families throughout Margate and the surrounding Broward County communities turn to CareGivers of America because we have spent more than 30 years helping South Florida seniors stay safe and supported at home. As one of the select agencies chosen to participate in the GUIDE model, our Broward County team helps you check your loved one’s eligibility, gather the medical records Medicare requires, and complete enrollment with our partners at MedBetterHealth.

In-Facility Care

At CareGivers of America, our in-facility care services are designed to bring a multitude of advantages to clients during their hospital stays. The caregivers we refer specialize in providing dedicated support and compassionate assistance in the hospital or rehab setting, ensuring clients receive the best possible care.

Learn More…

Light Housekeeping

If your senior loved one needs help maintaining their household, light housekeeping services can keep their home environment clean, comfortable, safe, and healthy. While the caregivers we refer will not replace a dedicated cleaning service, they can provide a variety of light housekeeping services.

Live-In or 24-Hour Senior Care

Finding the right caregivers to provide your senior with continuous in-home assistance can be challenging, but at CareGivers of America, we’ve done all the preparation for you. We will efficiently match your loved one with caregivers ideal for their personality and qualified for their care level needs. Having a team of professional caregivers in an aging loved one’s home 24/7 to expertly handle emergencies has proven to be very reassuring and a great source of comfort for many families in South Florida.

Learn More…

Meal Preparation

Balanced meals and a tidy home empower seniors to live safely, healthily, and independently. We’ll help match you with a caregiver who will ensure that your aging loved one eats nutritious meals each day. From the initial grocery shopping to the in-home meal preparation itself, an in-home caregiver can make sure that your senior’s nutritional needs are being met right in the comfort of their own home.

Learn More…

Medication Supervision

We understand the importance of helping independent seniors remember to take their daily medications as prescribed. We can help match you with a caregiver or home health aide who will provide helpful reminders to seniors and gentle oversight to ensure medications are taken by the prescribed dosage and at the proper time. They can also help with setting up an organizational pillbox to help with medication management, as well as logging/reporting medication intake.

Parkinson's Care

Parkinson’s disease changes daily life in ways most families never feel fully prepared for. For some, it begins with a tremor that makes holding a cup difficult. For others, it starts with slowness in movement or a subtle change in the way someone walks. Whatever form it takes, Parkinson’s is progressive, meaning the challenges grow over time, even when treatment is helping.

Learn More…

Personal Care

Most of us wake up and start our days using the bathroom, bathing, dressing, and grabbing a bite to eat. For many seniors, this morning routine is not so easy, as they struggle to perform basic activities of daily living (ADLs). To support these efforts, a certified home health aide can provide reliable, discreet personal caregiving assistance for seniors.

Learn More…

Respite Care

Although it’s a labor of love, caring for an aging friend or relative can be physically and emotionally demanding. If you’re not careful, caregiver burnout can sneak up on you when least expected, impacting the quality of life of both you and your loved one. Reliable respite caregivers can step in while you take a well-deserved break, allowing your senior to age gracefully at home in familiar, comfortable surroundings.

Learn More…

Special Needs Care

Every individual with special needs has a unique journey, so each care plan should be just as unique! At CareGivers of America, we are dedicated to getting to know your loved one, whether they have cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or another developmental challenge. By understanding their specific condition, routines, and goals, we create a personalized care plan that centers on the individual and celebrates their strengths and needs. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in their lives!

Learn More…

Transition Care

Transitions of care are designed to ensure continuity and coordination of health care as clients transfer between different locations or levels of care. An elderly client may need transitional care when leaving one care setting—a nursing home, hospital, assisted living facility, primary care physician, specialist, or home health aide—and moving to another. Senior transition care can occur within settings, between settings, across health states, or between providers.

Learn More…

Stroke Care

Every stroke recovery looks different, but certain challenges tend to show up across the board: trouble with balance or one side of the body, fatigue that comes on faster than before, or frustration with tasks that used to take no thought at all, like buttoning a shirt or getting up from a chair. Some survivors also experience emotional ups and downs during recovery, which can be just as hard on a family as the physical changes.

Ready Care: Home Health Care

Home shouldn’t be a barrier to getting the care you need. Through our Medicare-certified sister company, ReadyCare Home Health, we help individuals manage medical conditions, recover from illness or injury, and maintain their independence — all from the comfort of home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started with GUIDE?

Reach out to CareGivers of America and let us know you’re interested in learning more about the GUIDE dementia program. We’ll review your loved one’s Medicare eligibility with you, answer any questions, and connect you with our partners at MedBetterHealth to take the next steps. There is no obligation and no pressure — just a conversation about whether this program could help. Contact us here or call us directly.

What if my loved one lives alone and doesn’t have a family caregiver nearby?

The GUIDE is designed to help in exactly this situation. A Care Navigator can connect your loved one to community resources, help coordinate medical appointments, and provide a consistent point of contact for monitoring and support. If your family is managing from a distance, having a dedicated navigator in place can provide meaningful peace of mind. We also encourage families in this situation to reach out to us — our team can help assess whether additional in-home support may be beneficial alongside the GUIDE dementia program. Learn more about how we work with families across South Florida.

How long does it take to get enrolled in the GUIDE dementia program?

The typical process takes two to three weeks from the initial eligibility check to Medicare’s decision. The steps include confirming Medicare eligibility, gathering medical records to confirm the dementia diagnosis, completing virtual caregiver and patient assessments, and submitting the information to Medicare for review. Our partners at MedBetterHealth handle this process and our team can help guide your family through each step.

What is the difference between the GUIDE dementia program and home care?

Home care — the kind CareGivers of America helps arrange — involves a caregiver coming to your loved one’s home to assist with personal care, companionship, daily activities, and safety. The GUIDE dementia program is a Medicare-funded care coordination and support program. It does not involve a caregiver coming to the home, but rather a Care Navigator who helps your family manage the medical and logistical complexity of dementia. Many families benefit from both — home care for hands-on daily support, and the GUIDE program for coordination, education, and caregiver respite. Learn more about our dementia care services in South Florida.

Does the GUIDE dementia program replace my loved one’s existing Medicare coverage?

No. The GUIDE dementia program adds support on top of your existing Medicare coverage. Your loved one can continue seeing any doctor, specialist, or hospital that accepts Medicare. Nothing changes with your current plan — the GUIDE model simply layers in a Care Navigator, personalized care planning, caregiver training, and respite support alongside it.

Is the GUIDE dementia program really free?

Yes. There is no cost to enroll in the GUIDE dementia program and no cost-sharing for the services it provides. The program is funded through Medicare, so eligible participants receive support at no out-of-pocket expense. Participation is also completely voluntary — you can stop at any time and it will not affect your other Medicare benefits.

Do I Have to Maintain Services for a Specific Period of Time?

At CareGivers of America, we believe that care should fit your schedule—not the other way around. That’s why we have no hourly minimums. Whether you need help for just 30 minutes or around-the-clock support, you only pay for the care your loved one truly needs. This flexibility allows families to receive high-quality, affordable assistance on their own terms, without being locked into rigid time commitments.

Are Your Services Only for Seniors?

When you contact CareGivers of America, it’s with the understanding that our caregivers’ services are specifically geared for senior loved ones.

What If My Caregiver Needs Time Off?

If your referred caregiver is ever unavailable or needs time off, CareGivers of America will promptly arrange a qualified backup who is fully briefed on your loved one’s needs—ensuring continuity of care and peace of mind with every visit.

Read more here.

What Happens If I Have to Change My Caregiver’s Schedule?

At CareGivers of America, we help families create a flexible caregiver schedule tailored to their needs, and while we hope a lasting bond forms with the referred caregiver, we understand that plans can change—so adjustments are always welcome with just a call.

Read more here.

What Is the Schedule for Personal Home Care?

CareGivers of America refers experienced caregivers for both hourly and live-in home care, with no minimum hour requirements. Whether your loved one needs a few hours of assistance or around-the-clock support, we help create a flexible care plan that fits your schedule. From respite care to 24/7 live-in services, the caregivers we refer are trained to provide compassionate, personalized support that meets each client’s unique needs—right at home.

Read more here.

Do You Provide Home Care Services in Assisted Living Facilities?

At CareGivers of America, we understand that even in assisted living facilities, some individuals may require a higher level of personalized support. That’s why we proudly refer caregivers to provide one-on-one care in these settings—ensuring continuity, familiarity, and peace of mind. Whether your loved one needs help with daily routines, companionship, or more specialized care, the caregivers we match can offer that extra layer of assistance to enhance their quality of life.

As aging adults transition into assisted living, having a dedicated caregiver by their side can make a meaningful difference. While these communities offer many helpful services, personalized attention from a referred caregiver can help maintain a sense of independence and emotional well-being. From support with mobility and personal hygiene to medication reminders and social engagement, our goal is to help seniors thrive—wherever they call home.

Read more here.

How Do I Get started with Home Care?

Getting started with home care through CareGivers of America is a simple, supportive process designed to ease the transition for both seniors and their families. It begins with a free consultation, where we take the time to learn about your loved one’s unique needs, preferences, and daily routines. Whether they require help with personal care, mobility, meals, or companionship, our team works with you to create a customized care plan that ensures comfort and peace of mind.

Once we understand the level of care needed, we carefully match your loved one with a qualified, compassionate caregiver who fits their personality and care requirements. We’ll then arrange an introductory meeting and coordinate the logistics of their care, including scheduling, access, and any special instructions. From the first call to the first visit and beyond, we’re here to guide you every step of the way—helping your loved one remain safe, independent, and supported at home in Miami-Dade, Broward, and surrounding communities.

What is Home Care?

Home care typically refers to any type of care provided in the patient’s home, but can also refer to assistance provided at an assisted living facility, rehab setting or even bedside at a hospital.

CareGivers of America refers home health aides and nursing assistants who can provide for a wide range of needs, including companionship, light housekeeping, errands, driving and assistance with daily activities such as dressing, bathing or toileting. Caregivers are available on an hourly or live-in basis. This care allows individuals to remain safely and independently in their homes for longer than they might otherwise be able to. Affiliates of ours can provide skilled nursing, as well as physical, speech or occupational therapists.

Read more here.

Why Use CareGivers of America?

The caregivers we refer to our clients’ homes provide essential care to the most valued members of our community with compassion and dignity. Trusted by physicians and geriatric care professionals, we treat every client and family with a level of respect and professionalism that sets us apart.

Read more here.

What Is a Long-Term Care Insurance Policy?

A long-term care policy, or a life insurance policy with long-term care benefits, can help pay for the cost of in-home care.

These policies come in all different types and we are happy to help you figure out what your policy includes. Let our experts help you maximize the benefits you’ve already paid for! Call us for a no-obligation consultation.

How Much Does Home Care Cost?

The cost of care is determined by the hours and specific skills required to meet your loved one’s needs.

Home care can be covered by long term care insurance policies or other third-party payor sources such as Veterans’ Benefits, Union Benefits, Medicaid, or certain Medicare Advantage plans.

What Are The Advantages To Working With a Homecare Agency or Nurse Registry, As Opposed To Hiring an Aide Privately?

Working with a home health agency or nurse registry can provide you with peace of mind that a private aide cannot.

One key advantage is that we can send a back-up caregiver to your loved one’s home if their primary aide cannot make it one day for any reason. We will help ensure that no matter the circumstances, care will not be disrupted.

Another reason to work with a home healthcare agency or registry is that if you work with an aide privately, you may be responsible for payroll and withholding taxes, caregiver vetting and screening, as well as for ensuring that you or the caregiver carries sufficient liability insurance. By working with us, you would not have to worry about any of these.

How Are Caregivers Screened?

Every home aide or nursing assistant we work with is fully licensed, professionally insured and undergoes a complete federal background check. We also keep close track of which caregivers have experience with dementia or Alzheimer’s patients, as well as other skills such as cooking or language proficiencies.

Read more here.

What Is An In-Home Assessment?

In order to help you assess the needs and best care arrangement for yourself or a loved one, one of our staff Geriatric Care Managers can visit the prospective client’s home.

We’ll inquire about your health, evaluate the physical environment for potential risks, and then recommend a care plan customized to your needs.

There is no obligation to receive care after an assessment, and you will not be billed for the visit; it is a courtesy on our part to help ensure the safety of our valued neighbors.

Can Caregiving Services Include Transportation?

Yes, along with other services, caregivers can provide transportation and escort clients to doctor’s appointments, the grocery store, events, to run errands, etc.

Can Caregivers Provide Services Outside of Private Homes?

In addition to providing in-home care, our network of caregivers can travel to assisted living facilities, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, or any other location the client needs.

Do Caregivers You Refer Provide Nursing Services?

We work with a network of RNs (registered nurses) and LPNs (licensed practical nurses) who can provide in-home specialized nursing services, such as wound care, medication management and assessments in addition to the general caregiver services we provide.

Do Caregivers You Refer Provide Hospice Care?

The caregivers we refer do not provide hospice or palliative care at CareGivers of America. But, at CareGivers of America, we are happy to offer referrals of caregivers who can provide long-term in-home health services for you or a loved one.

Do Caregivers You Refer Offer Overnight Care?

CareGivers of America can refer caregivers who provide 24-hour services, so overnight care can be made available. Caregivers can work at any time that your loved one needs in-home assistance and we are available 24/7 by phone for support and to answer any questions you may have.

Are Services Covered by Insurance or Medicare?

CareGivers of America does not accept Medicare or general health insurance for private duty care, but we do work with Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI), which may reimburse some or all of the costs associated with home care—especially for those needing help with daily activities or living with conditions like Alzheimer’s or dementia.

What Certifications Do Caregivers You Refer Have?

Prior to being eligible to be referred to a family, all caregivers must complete a thorough FBI-2 background check. They are also all CPR-certified and licensed to provide in-home care. Caregivers can also be CNAs with their HHA (home health aide) certification as well as licensed RNs and LPNs. All caregivers hold certifications and licensing authorizing them to provide in-home health care. We will only refer a qualified and experienced caregiver to you and your loved ones.

Have a Different Question About Caregiving Services?

If you have any additional questions about CareGivers of America or the services the caregivers we refer can provide, please feel free to call us at 954-206-1178.
