My personal experience inspired me to create Abby Care– an organization where families like mine are at the heart of everything we do.
At Abby Care, we lead with empathy and compassion. We’re proud to offer specialized training, ongoing support, a strong community, and advocate for competitive pay for our caregivers across the states we deliver care.
Your trust and belief in us has been the driving force behind everything we do to ease the challenges of navigating care for all families like yours–and like mine.
Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey.
At Abby Care, you'll get support that feels like family. Our world-class nurses and care managers have decades of experience.
Caring for a family member with a disability or a medical condition can feel like you’re on a lonely journey that few truly understand.
In the Abby Care community, you can connect and lean on other families like yours. The best part: your loved ones can also meet and bond with others just like them and build lasting friendships.
We host events, ranging from picnics, brunches or dinners, to giveaways, tours, adventures, wellness days, and so much more.

$0. This program is 100% covered by Abby Care and comes at no cost to you. We know how expensive finding care can be, and our goal is to enable you to reach your dreams by eliminating cost barriers.
This will depend on the number of hours of care you are approved to provide! We will pay you hourly based on the negotiated rate your Medicaid managed care organization sets.
Family Home Health Aides can work up to 8 hours per day, totaling 40 hours per week. The reminaing hours needed will be covered by Abby Care’s nurses in your home.
We will guide you through our 90-hour training program so you are prepared to care for your loved one! Per AHCA guidelines this is broken down as:
• 40 hours of online training which can be completed at home.
• 4 sessions of labs in our Miami Gardens office, covering hands-on skills essential to caring for your loved one at home.
• Skills Assessment completed in the patient’s home.
No! Any family member who is older than 18 years of age and passes a Level 2 Background check can provide care.
You can sign up as many children that qualify as necessary! Per AHCA rules and regulations, a second child under the same family caregiver will earn 50% of the reimbursement rate and a third child (and all else after) will earn 25%.
However, another family member can become a caregiver to ensure 100% of the reimbursement rate is earned.
This depends on various factors such as the patient’s official diagnosis and medical necessity to determine if they need skilled nursing services. Please reach out to our care team directly so we can assess your child and see if we are a good fit for you.
The Family Home Health Aide program only allows children with skilled nursing needs to participate. Therefore, Abby Care only works with children under 18 in the state of Florida.
We serve all of Miami-Dade County! We do not currently work with families outside of this county at this time but hope to soon.
