BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – If you’re on the mend after a surgery, illness or injury, chances are you would prefer to recover at home instead of a hospital. That’s why Health First Home Care was created – to bring high-quality, compassionate care to you.

More and more people are opting to receive medical treatments at home. Home Care services are designed for anyone confined at home who has a medical condition requiring skilled care, which cannot be provided solely by family members or friends.

Health First Home Care services include:

Home Health Aides

In some cases, Home Care can be a cost-effective alternative to hospitalization or a rehabilitation facility.
