	A Medicare-Certified Home Health Care Agency

			Empathy Care, Inc. is a Medicare-certified home health care agency that offers skilled nursing and therapeutic services throughout Palm Beach and Broward counties. We provide full-time, part-time, and even intermittent care for people transitioning back into their homes from a hospital, nursing home or rehabilitative facility — situations often requiring skilled services that family members aren't equipped to handle alone. Of course, we’re also available for people who might not be in a state of transition at all, but simply want us in their homes to help them minimize the necessity of an institutional setting down the road. And rest assured that we additionally offer assistance to people who have difficulty managing a health problem at home on their own, or who may need compassionate and supportive care during the terminal phase of an illness. To get our complete information packet, see our request form on the contact page. Mind you, Empathy Care isn't part of a giant corporate chain. We're independently owned and operated, which allows us the flexibility to personalize reassuring programs of care for every client. Indeed, whatever the circumstances that bring us to you, sensitivity is the basis of everything we do. Testimonials we've received, both in video and in letters, seem to bear that out. Our staff is hand-picked for high-level skills, experience, reliability, self-initiative, and communication expertise. And, because we understand that every client is unique, we also insist that our staff members have an ability to adapt to each client’s “comfort zone.” Our approach works. For seven years in a row — all the way through 2010 — we earned a deficiency-free status by the state Agency for Health Care Administration, which champions accessible, affordable, quality health care for all Floridians. In October 2010 we were also named to the HomeCare Elite list of the top 25 percent of Medicare-certified home health care agencies in the nation. Being named to the list was a distinction we were proud to claim for a third year in a row. (See news story.) We believe you'll find that our credentials and deficiency-free status speak for themselves. But we also advocate researching all of your options until you're confident you've arrived at a choice that gives you the excellence you deserve. One good place to start is by comparing home health care agencies. You'll find an article about how best to access and use Medicare's Home Health Compare right on our own site.

If you're out of the local area, you can reach us toll-free at 800-606-0856. There is an art to caring, and a science to healing. We won't let you down on either level.
