What Our Clients Say
Edna and her team of caregivers took care of my mother for almost 2 years. I started just needing some weekday help and found her team of caregivers so attentive that we kept increasing care for my mother. My mother had high standards and if things were amiss Edna made sure that we found the right match in a caregiver- even through covid I knew my mother was well taken care of if I could not get to her. I saw my mum flourish under their care and I can honestly say they they helped improve her outlook and made her last years very happy Years.
Edna is a consummate professional and her team is efficient and caring. Good to have bilingual aides as well as management. Have had clients who’ve used them and have been pleased.
I was very fortunate to find Edna and her team. My father had been very sick at St Joseph’s hospital and we didn’t want him to go to a nursing home or just any home care. I did extensive research and finally found this Home care program and it has not disappointed. Absolutely everything has been better than I expected. Dr Pedro González came just to meet with us and my father and happily answered all of my questions. Mr Kenny Sierra and Mrs Edna Gonzalez have also been amazing. They are always available and resolve any issues that arise very quickly and appropriately. I strongly recommend this home care program without hesitation or reservations.
The Legacy Care At Home and Edna and her team have been a godsend for my mom and I. My mom suffers from dementia. I was in desperate need of some assistance in caring for my mom. After an initial hiccup, Edna provided the most caring, compassionate caregiver in Mildred Lizardo. My mom adores her! She takes my mom on daily walks and bathes her. She gives her a massage and prepares her clothes. She cleans her room, washes her clothes. My mom loves her cooking too! I’m a little envious. For what I am most grateful is the patience and understanding on how she treats her. Mildred really listens to her and now my mom has an additional person in her life to confide in. That is the personal touch.Thank you Edna! Thank you, The Legacy Care At Home.
Edna and her team are great! They made sure to find a caregiver for my grandmother that really cares about her wellbeing. My grandmother loves doing the activities. It has been a refreshing way to make her more engaged. Many thanks!
Dr. Gonzalez and Edna are caring, professional, and always put their client’s needs first. They are excellent problem solvers and often come up with creative solutions that are fitting for both the patient and their family. I would highly recommend them and their team for exceptional service!
I had the pleasure of using The Legacy Care At Home in South Tampa, and I was happy with the referral and service I received for my elderly Mother. Edna made it a point to come with the caregivers for an initial meeting, and both caregivers provided quality, dedicated service. I recommend them for any required caregiving needs.
Edna and her team are wonderful. They are very flexible and the home health aids they provided were consistently kind , hard working and matched well with my father and mother. We had previously used a different company and were much more satisfied with the people and care provided The Legacy Care At Home.
Post-hospital care frequently asked questions
Why should you hire an in-home caregiver for post-hospital care? 
Following discharge for the hospital, the first few months of recovery are considered to be a high-risk periods for seniors and aging adults. Fatigue and general weakness are common symptoms experienced by older individuals following an extended hospital visit, and the chance of falls and injuries within the home increase as well during this time. It can be difficult for older adults to adhere to instructions from medical professionals once at home – especially without professional assistance in the form of an in-home caregiver.
With personalized support from the team of caregivers at The Legacy Care At Home, the recovery process at home following discharge from a hospital can be safe and easy. Also, help from our caregivers can ensure that we minimize the risk of readmission to the hospital.
What are some of the benefits of in-home post-hospital care?
At The Legacy Care At Home, we offer a wide range of in-home care services tailored to the needs of seniors and aging adults transitioning from the hospital back home. Some of the services we offer include:
