About Golden Hearts Home Care

Golden Hearts Home Care has helped Sarasota-area families keep their loved ones safe, comfortable, and independent at home since 2015. Founded by a former hospital discharge nurse, the agency built its reputation on one idea: match each family with a caregiver who feels like part of the family — and stand behind that match every day.

The team specializes in dementia and Alzheimer's care, 24/7 live-in support, and post-hospital recovery, with a dedicated care coordinator assigned to every client. Every caregiver is a direct W-2 employee — never a contractor — so training, supervision, and accountability stay in-house.

“After Mom's fall, we needed help fast. Golden Hearts had a caregiver at the house the next morning, and the same wonderful woman has been with us for eight months. She's family now.”

“The care coordinator actually answers the phone. When Dad's needs changed, they adjusted the schedule within a day. The dementia training clearly shows — they know how to keep him calm.”

Common questions

How quickly can care start?
In most cases care can begin within 24–48 hours of your first call. Urgent hospital discharges can often be covered same-day.
Do you offer a free in-home assessment?
Yes. A care coordinator visits at no cost to understand your loved one's needs and build a personalized care plan before anything is scheduled.
Are caregivers employees or contractors?
Every caregiver is a W-2 employee — background-checked, insured, trained, and supervised by Golden Hearts directly.
What does home care cost?
Rates depend on the level and hours of care. The team provides transparent pricing during your free assessment and accepts long-term care insurance and VA benefits.
