You're not failing your parents

You can't be there every day. You were never supposed to be.

You have a job, kids, a life — and a mom or dad who needs more help than you can give between visits. That's not neglect. That's reality. The answer isn't quitting your job or moving them out of the home they love.

  • They stay in their own home — their kitchen, their photos, their neighborhood.
  • You get your role back — you go back to being the daughter or son, not the exhausted nurse.
  • Someone is checking in on them even on the days you can't — and reporting back to you.
Our Services

Every kind of help your family needs, under one roof

From a few hours of companionship a week to around-the-clock support, we build the care plan around your loved one — never the other way around.

Personal Care

Dignified help with the private moments: bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and safe transfers in and out of bed.

  • Morning & bedtime routines
  • Mobility & fall-prevention support
  • Incontinence care with respect

For seniors who need hands-on daily help to stay safely at home.

Companionship & Homemaking

Real conversation and a helping hand: meals cooked the way they like them, light housekeeping, errands, and someone who genuinely listens.

  • Meal prep & grocery runs
  • Light housekeeping & laundry
  • Cards, walks, church, conversation

For seniors who live alone and need company more than clinical care.

24-Hour & Overnight Care

Around-the-clock options so your loved one is never alone at 3 a.m. — and you finally sleep through the night again.

  • Overnight & live-in style shifts
  • Weekend & holiday coverage
  • Wandering & nighttime-anxiety support

For families who worry most about the hours nobody's watching.

Alzheimer's & Dementia Care

Patient, structured memory care that preserves routine and dignity — from caregivers trained to redirect confusion instead of arguing with it.

  • Consistent routines & familiar faces
  • Wandering-prevention strategies
  • Family updates after every visit

For families navigating memory loss and its hardest days.

Post-Hospital Recovery

The first weeks home after surgery or a hospital stay are when falls and readmissions happen. We bridge that gap safely.

  • Discharge-day pickup & setup
  • Medication reminders
  • Recovery-plan follow-through

For patients coming home from HCA Osceola, AdventHealth & area hospitals.

Therapy & Wellness Support

In-home support for the exercise plans, stretching routines, and mobility goals your loved one's therapists prescribe — so progress doesn't stop between appointments.

  • Mobility & strength routine support
  • Transport to therapy appointments
  • Encouragement that keeps them going

For seniors rebuilding independence after illness or injury.

Respite Care for Family Caregivers

If you've been the caregiver for months, you're allowed to rest. We step in for an afternoon, a weekend, or a vacation — and your loved one is in professional hands the whole time.

The Shalem Care Match

From "we need help" to a caregiver at the door — in three steps

Most agencies hand you whoever is available. We match on personality, language, experience, and schedule — because the right relationship makes all the difference.

Tell us about your loved one

Call us or take the 60-second assessment below. A care coordinator — not a call center — listens to your situation, in English or Spanish.

Same day

Free in-home care assessment

We visit the home, meet your parent, walk the space for safety risks, and build a written care plan around their health, routine, and personality. A $75 value — free for families in our service area.

Within 24–48 hours

Meet your matched caregiver

We hand-match a background-screened caregiver by language, experience, and personality — then check in regularly to make sure the match stays right.

As fast as 48 hours

The Right-Match Guarantee

If the caregiver isn't the right fit — for any reason — we re-match your loved one with a new caregiver at no extra charge. And you're never locked into a long-term contract. You stay because the care is good, not because a contract says so.

Start the Assessment
Free 60-Second Care Assessment

What level of care does your parent actually need?

Answer five quick questions. We'll point you to the right type of care and have a coordinator confirm the details — no medical knowledge needed on your end.

1/5 — Who needs care?

Se Habla Español — Guaranteed

Your mom shouldn't have to struggle in her second language to ask for a glass of water

More than 60% of the families we serve speak Spanish at home. Most agencies treat that as an afterthought. For us it's the standard: if your family needs a Spanish-speaking caregiver, you get one. Every visit, every shift. Guaranteed.

  • Care in the language they think in — comfort, jokes, prayers, and preferences understood the first time.
  • No more translating every visit — you stop being the middleman for your parent's care.
  • Bilingual coordinators too — every call, care plan, and update available in English or Spanish.

Why Families Switch to Shalem

Local and family-founded — not a franchise territory

Most home-care names you recognize are national franchises run from offices on the other side of Orlando. Shalem was founded by a certified nursing assistant, is headquartered in Poinciana, and serves the neighborhoods we live in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything families ask us before they start

How quickly can care begin?
In most cases we can match a caregiver and begin care within 48 hours of your free in-home assessment. For urgent situations — like a hospital discharge — we do our best to accommodate same-day or next-day starts. Call (407) 818-5647 and tell us it's urgent.
Are your caregivers background-checked?
Yes — every caregiver completes a Level 2 background screening (fingerprint-based, state and federal), reference verification, and a skills assessment before they ever enter a client's home. No exceptions.
Do you really guarantee a Spanish-speaking caregiver?
Yes. Our community is more than 60% Hispanic, and most of our caregivers are bilingual. If your family requests a Spanish-speaking caregiver, that's who you get — for every visit, not just the first one.
How much does home care cost?
It depends on the hours and level of care your loved one needs — which is exactly what the free in-home assessment determines. You'll get a clear, written care plan with exact pricing before you commit to anything, and there are no long-term contracts or hidden fees.
What if we don't like the caregiver?
Tell us — no awkward conversation needed on your end. Under our Right-Match Guarantee we re-match your loved one with a new caregiver at no extra charge, quickly. The right relationship is the whole point of our matching process.
Do you offer care on weekends and holidays?
Yes. Care doesn't take days off, and neither do we. We schedule weekends, holidays, overnights, and 24-hour rotations based on your family's needs.
Can you help right after a hospital discharge?
Yes — post-hospital recovery is one of our most requested services. We can coordinate before discharge so a caregiver is ready the day your loved one comes home, when fall and readmission risk is highest.
Do we have to sign a long-term contract?
No. You're never locked in. Adjust hours up or down, pause, or stop as your family's situation changes. Families stay with us because the care is good — that's the only contract we want.
What areas do you serve?
Poinciana (our headquarters), Kissimmee, St. Cloud, Davenport, Haines City, and South Orlando neighborhoods like Hunters Creek and Meadow Woods. Nearby? Call us — if we can serve you, we will.
What happens after I submit the form?
A care coordinator (English or Spanish — your choice) calls you back, usually the same day. We listen to your situation, schedule the free in-home assessment, and you decide from there. No pressure, no obligation.
