Valrico’s Trusted Home Care Provider

Valrico is one of eastern Hillsborough County’s most desirable residential communities. Situated between Brandon to the west and Plant City to the east, Valrico offers a quieter, more spacious suburban lifestyle while remaining just minutes from the shopping, dining, and medical facilities of the greater Tampa Bay area. With a population of approximately 37,000 spread across established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions along Lithia Pinecrest Road, Bloomingdale Avenue, and Durant Road, Valrico is a community where families settle for the long term.
Empower Home Care provides comprehensive home health care services to patients across Valrico, FL and the surrounding eastern Hillsborough County area. 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 Valrico home. Whether you’re recovering from a procedure at Brandon Regional Hospital, managing a chronic condition, or helping an aging parent stay safely at home, our team brings clinical expertise and genuine compassion to every visit.
As a CHAP-accredited, nurse-owned, and veteran-operated agency headquartered in Tampa, Empower Home Care serves Valrico as part of our core eastern Hillsborough County service area. We are a local team that serves this community daily — not a national franchise that treats eastern Hillsborough as an afterthought. Most of our Valrico home care services are covered by Medicare at no cost to the patient.

Senior Home Care for Valrico’s Aging Residents

Senior Home Care for Valrico’s Aging Residents
Valrico’s quiet, residential character makes it a community where many people plan to age in place. Seniors who moved to Valrico’s Bloomingdale, Buckhorn, or Lithia Pinecrest neighborhoods in the 1980s and 1990s have spent decades building their lives here — and the thought of leaving for an assisted living facility feels like losing the home and community they worked a lifetime to build. Our senior home care services are designed to prevent that.
We help Valrico’s seniors stay safely and comfortably 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. Our team coordinates with Valrico-area physicians and the patient’s family to ensure comprehensive, consistent care.
Medicare covers most senior home health services at no cost. Assisted living in the eastern Hillsborough area averages $3,500–$5,000+ per month out of pocket. For most Valrico seniors, home care is the better, more affordable, and more personal option.

Home Care Considerations
for Valrico Families

Suburban Travel Distance

Suburban Travel Distance

Valrico’s residential streets are more spread out than Tampa’s urban neighborhoods, and daily errands like groceries, pharmacy runs, and medical appointments require driving. For seniors who can no longer drive safely, this distance creates isolation and makes medication pickup, follow-up appointments, and social engagement significantly harder. Our home health team brings medical care directly to your door, and our medical social workers can connect patients with Meals on Wheels, transportation assistance, and other community resources that bridge the gap.

Aging in Newer Homes

Aging in Newer Homes

Unlike Carrollwood or Temple Terrace, many of Valrico’s homes were built in the 1990s and 2000s with more modern floor plans — open layouts, wider hallways, and first-floor master suites. While this is generally an advantage for aging in place, our occupational therapists still assess for common hazards: slippery tile in bathrooms, step-up entries from garages, bathtubs without grab bars, and inadequate lighting in hallways and stairways. Even newer homes benefit from targeted safety modifications.

Family Caregiver Support

Family Caregiver Support

Valrico is a family-oriented community, and many of our patients have adult children or spouses serving as primary caregivers. While this family involvement is invaluable, caregiver burnout is a real and serious risk — especially when the caregiver is also working, raising children, or managing their own health challenges. Our medical social workers provide caregiver counseling, connect families with respite care resources, and our home health aides offer scheduled relief so family caregivers can take care of themselves too.
