Nurse Registry & In-Home Care in Miami, FL
Screened caregiver referrals across the City of Miami — hourly help, personal care, overnight coverage and skilled nursing support.
Miami households span an enormous range: a widowed parent in a Brickell high-rise, a grandmother in Little Havana surrounded by family, an older couple in Coconut Grove who want to stay in the house as long as possible. The common thread is that families here usually try to handle care themselves first and call once the load stops being sustainable.
Care Alternatives, Inc. is a licensed Florida Nurse Registry operating in Miami-Dade County under License #30212470. We verify credentials and refer independently contracted caregivers; the family interviews, chooses and directs the caregiver. Nothing is assigned to you.
Call 800-631-3793 to talk with a coordinator about hours, the level of caregiver that fits, and how private pay, long-term care insurance and VA-related support typically work.
Miami is served through our Miami-Dade County nurse registry operation. For how Florida nurse registries work and how they differ from home health agencies, see our South Florida Nurse Registry guide.

Local practicalities
Miami traffic genuinely affects scheduling. Shift start times that avoid peak congestion tend to be easier to staff reliably, and we will say so rather than promise a schedule that will not hold.
How to start care in Miami
- 1. Call 800-631-3793 or request care online.
- 2. Describe the daily routine, the help needed, and the hours you have in mind.
- 3. Review screened caregiver candidates and choose who comes into the home.
- 4. Adjust hours or tasks as needs change.
Care situations we see in Miami
These are the arrangements families in this community most often ask about.
Multigenerational households
Care that supplements what family already does — specific shifts, help with bathing and transfers, or overnight coverage so everyone sleeps.
Spanish-speaking caregiver preference
Language fit matters for comfort and safety. It is part of the matching conversation, though availability depends on schedule and location.
High-rise and condo logistics
Downtown and Brickell buildings have their own access rules. Those details are handled before a caregiver's first shift.
Skilled needs at home
LPN and RN referrals for medication management, wound care and clinical monitoring when needs go beyond personal care.
Who we can refer in Miami
As a licensed Florida Nurse Registry we screen and verify credentials, then refer independently contracted caregivers. Families interview candidates and choose who comes into the home.
Companions
Conversation, errands, appointment escorts, meal preparation and light household help for people who mainly need presence and a steady hand.
Home Health Aides (HHAs)
Assistance with grooming, bathing, meals, medication reminders and the everyday routines that keep someone comfortable at home.
Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs)
Personal care and daily living support — bathing, dressing, toileting, transfers, mobility and safe supervision day or night.
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs)
Hands-on nursing support under a plan of care: vitals, medications, catheter and ostomy care, diabetic care and post-hospital monitoring.
Registered Nurses (RNs)

Miami home care questions
- Can you refer Spanish-speaking caregivers in Miami?
- Language preference is part of how we match. Availability varies by schedule, skill level and area, so a coordinator will tell you what is realistic rather than promise a match in advance.
- Do you refer caregivers for hospital or rehab sitting?
- Yes. Families arrange one-on-one sitters for a hospital stay, a rehab stay or an assisted living community in addition to care at home.
- How is a Nurse Registry different from a home health agency?
- A registry refers independently contracted caregivers that you select and direct. An agency employs and assigns its own staff. Our South Florida Nurse Registry page compares the two in detail.
- Which license covers Miami?
- Miami-Dade County Nurse Registry License #30212470 and Homemaker Companion Service License #232233.
