In-Home Senior Care in Tampa, FL
Compassionate, Licensed Non-Medical Care So Your Loved One Can Stay Safely at Home
If you're searching for in-home care in Tampa, you're probably doing it for someone you love — a parent recovering from a hospital stay, a spouse who's started needing help with daily tasks, or a family member who simply isn't safe living alone anymore. The Legacy Care at Home is based right here in Tampa, and we've spent years helping families across South Tampa, Hyde Park, Seminole Heights, Ybor City, Davis Islands, and Westshore keep their loved ones safe, comfortable, and independent at home.
We're a locally owned, AHCA-licensed agency co-founded by Edna González, an attorney, and Dr. Pedro González, a physician. That combination is rare in home care — it means the way we screen caregivers, build care plans, and handle sensitive family situations is shaped by both legal diligence and clinical judgment, not just a generic checklist. It's also why every caregiver we send is our own employee, not an independent contractor, and why someone in our office is accountable for every shift.
Many of the families we serve come to us right after a hospital discharge, when a doctor has said a loved one can go home but shouldn't go home alone. Others come to us months or years into a slow decline, when adult children who don't live in Tampa need someone trustworthy checking in every day. Wherever you're starting from, our job is to make staying at home a safe, realistic option instead of a risk.
What We Can Help With
Our caregivers are trained, background-checked, and matched to your loved one's personality — not just their needs. 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, errands, and social visits
Companionship and mental/emotional engagement
Mobility support and fall prevention
Why Local Families Choose The Legacy Care at Home
Tampa is a big, diverse city, and we take that seriously when matching caregivers — schedules, commute times, and language all factor in. Our team includes bilingual (English/Spanish) caregivers, which matters in a city where so many families communicate primarily in Spanish at home.
Before care starts, we meet you in person, in your home. Seeing how your household actually runs is how we build a care plan that fits it, not a generic template.
Some families come to us after a bad experience somewhere else, which makes the first conversation a careful one. One family reached us that way near the end of their father's life, needing overnight care. Overnights are their own kind of work: long, quiet, and the hours when a family most dreads not being there. The same team stayed with him through it. His son told us afterward that he wanted other people to know it had gone well, because the last time it hadn't.

Tampa Home Care — Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve all of Tampa, or just certain neighborhoods?
We serve all of Tampa, including South Tampa, Hyde Park, Davis Islands, Westshore, Seminole Heights, Ybor City, New Tampa, and Carrollwood. If you're unsure whether your address is in our coverage area, call us — we'll tell you directly rather than make you guess.
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 being discharged from a Tampa hospital soon, tell us the discharge date up front so we can plan care to start the day they arrive home.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We work with private pay, long-term care insurance, and in some cases Veterans Affairs Aid & Attendance benefits. During your phone consultation we'll walk through what applies to your situation so there are no surprises.
Can you provide 24-hour or live-in care, not just a few hours a day?
Yes. We offer flexible scheduling from a few hours a week up to 24-hour and live-in care, and we can adjust the schedule as your loved one's needs change.
