Now that the State of Florida has loosened its restrictions for COVID, we understand that it is still a concern for some. If you want your caregiver to be vaccinated, or wear a mask, please let us know at the time of setting up care. Paradise Home Health worked through the pandemic and assured our clients that our aides follow CDC guidelines. If you have any questions about our COVID policy please don’t hesitate to call the office @ 561-672-7170.
