In-Home Senior Care in Temple Terrace, FL
Compassionate In-Home Care for Seniors in Temple Terrace and Near USF
Temple Terrace is one of the older, more established communities in the Tampa area, known for its tree-lined streets and the historic homes near the golf course. A lot of the families we work with here have lived in the same house for decades and want to stay there — our job is to make that possible safely.
We're a locally owned, AHCA-licensed home care agency founded by Edna González, an attorney, and Dr. Pedro González, a physician. That combination shapes how carefully we screen caregivers and how realistically we plan for what a family actually needs, not just what a checklist says. Every caregiver who walks into your parent's home is our employee, screened by us and supervised by our care coordinators.
We serve families throughout Temple Terrace, including the Historic District, Terrace Park, and Raintree, as well as adult children who live near USF and need a trustworthy caregiver checking on a parent nearby. Many of our Temple Terrace clients come to us after a hospital stay, when the goal is getting back home safely instead of into a facility.
What We Can Help With
Our caregivers are trained, background-checked, and matched to your loved one's needs and personality. Support can include:
Bathing, grooming, and dressing assistance
Toileting and incontinence care
Meal planning, grocery shopping, and feeding support
Medication reminders and assistance with self-administration
Light housekeeping and laundry
Transportation to appointments and errands in Temple Terrace
Companionship and daily engagement
Mobility support and fall prevention
Why Local Families Choose The Legacy Care at Home
Temple Terrace is compact compared to the rest of Tampa, which works in your favor — caregivers can get to appointments and back without losing hours to traffic, and we take advantage of that when building a schedule.
The person who answers your first phone call is usually the same person who'll be coordinating your loved one's care six months from now.
One family stayed with us for nearly two years as a parent's condition advanced. They called when it became clear he could no longer stand or walk on his own and his wife couldn't manage alone, which is the point most families reach. Beyond the daily help, what mattered most to them was that his caregivers spoke up — raising concerns, flagging changes, and suggesting adjustments rather than waiting to be asked.

Temple Terrace Home Care — Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve the Historic District and Terrace Park?
Yes — we cover the Historic District, Terrace Park, Raintree, and the rest of Temple Terrace. Call to confirm coverage for your address.
How quickly can care start after we call?
In most cases, we can complete a phone consultation the same day and have a caregiver in place within 24 hours. If your loved one is coming home from the hospital, tell us the discharge date up front so we can plan care to start the day they arrive home.
Is there a minimum number of hours per week?
No. We work with families who need just a few hours a week of respite support all the way up to 24-hour and live-in care, and we adjust the schedule as your loved one's needs change.
What payment options do you accept?
We accept private pay and long-term care insurance, and can help you understand whether VA Aid & Attendance benefits apply to your situation.
