Auburndale’s Trusted Home Care Provider

A nurse speaks with an elderly woman in a wheelchair
Auburndale is a small city with a quiet charm all its own. Nestled between Lakeland and Winter Haven in the heart of Polk County, Auburndale offers a slower pace, a lower cost of living, and the kind of neighborly atmosphere that larger cities have long since outgrown. With a population of approximately 17,000, the city is centered around the scenic Lake Ariana, where residents walk the lakeside trail, fish from the dock, and gather at the park pavilion. It’s the kind of place where people wave from their front porches and know each other by name.
Empower Home Care provides comprehensive home health care services to patients across Auburndale, FL and central Polk County. 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 Auburndale home. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or helping a parent maintain independence in the home they’ve lived in for decades, our team brings genuine clinical expertise and personal warmth.
As a CHAP-accredited, nurse-owned, and veteran-operated agency, Empower Home Care serves Auburndale as part of our core Polk County territory. We believe that smaller communities deserve the same standard of clinical care as the largest cities in our service area — and we deliver on that belief every day. Most of our services are covered by Medicare at no cost to the patient.

Senior Home Care for Auburndale’s Aging Residents

A man holds a ball for an older man
Auburndale’s affordability and small-town feel have made it a community where people stay for life. Many of the city’s seniors bought their homes near Lake Ariana or along Berkley Road in the 1970s and 1980s, raised their families here, and retired with no intention of ever leaving. Their morning walks around the lake, their friendships at church, their connection to this community — these are the things that define their quality of life. When aging starts to challenge their health and independence, leaving Auburndale for a facility in Lakeland or Winter Haven feels like losing everything that matters.
Our senior home care services are designed to prevent that. We provide fall prevention and home safety assessments, chronic disease management for diabetes, heart failure, COPD, and hypertension, medication reconciliation, post-surgical rehabilitation, cognitive support for early-stage memory loss, and daily living assistance from our certified home health aides.
Medicare covers most senior home health services at no cost. Assisted living in central Polk County averages $3,000–$4,000+ per month out of pocket. For Auburndale’s seniors, home care is the more personal, affordable, and community-connected option.

Between Two Hospitals, in Neither City

Auburndale sits almost exactly between Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center (approximately 10 minutes west) and BayCare Winter Haven Hospital (approximately 10 minutes east). Auburndale residents use both hospitals depending on the situation, the specialist needed, or personal preference. Empower Home Care coordinates with both — regardless of which hospital your loved one is discharged from, we provide a seamless transition to home care at your Auburndale address. Our team also coordinates with Auburndale’s local physicians and outpatient facilities to ensure your care plan is aligned.

Initial Evaluation

Small-Town Visibility, Big-Agency Quality

In a community of 17,000, word of mouth matters. Families talk. If a home care agency provides poor service, inconsistent scheduling, or subpar clinical care, the entire community knows. Empower Home Care takes that accountability seriously. Our CHAP accreditation, nurse-owned leadership, and licensed clinician team deliver the same quality in Auburndale that we deliver everywhere — because in a small town, your reputation is everything.

Personalized Care Plan

Older Homes Near Lake Ariana

Many of Auburndale’s most desirable homes sit near Lake Ariana and in the established neighborhoods along Berkley Road and Magnolia Avenue. These homes, built from the 1950s through the 1980s, may have narrow doorways, step-up entries, small bathrooms without grab bars, terrazzo or tile flooring, and limited lighting. Our occupational and physical therapists assess these homes and recommend practical, affordable modifications that improve safety for aging residents — grab bars, improved lighting, non-slip surfaces, clear pathways, and adaptive bathroom equipment.

Treatment Sessions

Limited Local Medical Resources

While Auburndale has primary care physicians and some outpatient services, most specialist appointments, imaging, and procedures require traveling to Lakeland or Winter Haven. For seniors who can no longer drive, even a 10-minute trip becomes a significant barrier. Our home health services bring clinical care directly to your Auburndale home. When specialist visits are necessary, our medical social workers help coordinate transportation and community resources.
