Lutz’s Trusted Home Care Provider

A man and woman sit on a couch
Lutz occupies a unique position in the Tampa Bay landscape. Straddling the Hillsborough and Pasco county line in the northern reaches of the Tampa metro area, Lutz offers a blend of quiet, tree-canopied neighborhoods, spacious lots, equestrian properties, and newer master-planned communities — all just minutes from the urban conveniences of Carrollwood, North Tampa, and the I-275 corridor. With a population of more than 22,000 on the Hillsborough County side alone, Lutz is home to a growing number of families and retirees who chose this community for its space, privacy, and small-town atmosphere.
Empower Home Care provides comprehensive home health care services to patients across Lutz, FL and the surrounding northern Hillsborough County communities. Our clinical team — registered nurses, licensed physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, medical social workers, and certified home health aides — delivers physician-ordered, nurse-supervised care directly in your Lutz home. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or supporting an aging parent who wants to stay on the property they’ve maintained for decades, our team brings the clinical expertise and personal dedication your family needs.
As a CHAP-accredited, nurse-owned, and veteran-operated agency headquartered in Tampa, Empower Home Care serves Lutz as part of our core Hillsborough County service area. We are a local team that understands the unique characteristics of Lutz — from the spacious acreage properties along Lutz-Lake Fern Road to the gated communities near Dale Mabry. Most of our services are covered by Medicare at no cost to the patient.

Senior Home Care for Lutz’s Aging Residents

Senior Home Care for Valrico’s Aging Residents
Lutz attracts residents who value space, privacy, and a slower pace of life — and many of them plan to stay for the rest of their lives. Whether your parent is aging on a multi-acre property along Lutz-Lake Fern Road that they’ve maintained for 30 years or in a newer home in Cheval where they retired, the desire to age in place is the same. Our senior home care services are built around making that possible.
We help Lutz seniors stay safely at home with fall prevention and home safety assessments, chronic disease management for diabetes, heart failure, COPD, and hypertension, medication reconciliation and safety, post-surgical rehabilitation, cognitive support for early-stage memory loss, and daily living assistance from our certified home health aides.
For Lutz seniors on larger properties, our team also considers the unique safety challenges of rural and semi-rural living — longer distances between the house and mailbox, uneven outdoor terrain, outbuildings and barns, and greater isolation from neighbors. We address these factors in our home safety assessments and care planning.

Why Lutz Families Need a
Reliable Home Care Partner

The County Line Question

The County Line Question

Lutz straddles the Hillsborough-Pasco county line, and many residents aren’t entirely sure which county their home is in. This matters for home health care because agencies are often licensed and service-area-defined by county. Empower Home Care’s primary service area covers Hillsborough County, including all of Lutz’s Hillsborough County portion. If your Lutz address falls in Pasco County, call us at (813) 652-7070 — we can often accommodate Pasco-side Lutz residents depending on their specific location.

Rural & Large-Lot Properties

Rural & Large-Lot Properties

Parts of Lutz still have a distinctly rural character — large lots, horse properties, gravel driveways, and homes set back from the road. Our clinicians are experienced in serving patients on these properties and understand the logistics: longer travel times between visits, GPS challenges with rural addresses, and the need to assess outdoor spaces (walkways, driveways, barn areas) as part of the home safety evaluation. Whether your home is in a gated community or on five acres, we deliver the same quality of care.

Hospitals

Distance from Major Hospitals

Lutz residents are somewhat farther from Tampa’s major hospitals than patients in the urban core. For seniors who can’t drive, getting to follow-up appointments at AdventHealth Tampa or Tampa General can be a significant challenge. Our home care services bring clinical care to your Lutz home, reducing the need for many of these trips. Our medical social workers can also connect patients with transportation assistance programs when outpatient visits are necessary.

Isolation Risk for Seniors

Isolation Risk for Seniors

Lutz’s spacious, private setting — the very quality that attracts residents — can become a source of isolation for aging seniors, especially after losing a spouse or when adult children live far away. Our home health aides provide not just personal care but genuine human connection during their visits. Our medical social workers can also connect isolated seniors with community resources, support groups, and Meals on Wheels programs.
