Home Care Gifford
A Community That Cares for Its Own
Home Care Gifford Families Welcome Into Their Homes
Gifford is a community where family takes care of family. Multi-generational households, neighbors who’ve known each other for decades, the Gifford Community Center as a hub of life — this isn’t a town you outsource care in. It’s a town you bring trusted people into.
That’s why home care Gifford families recommend has to earn its way in. We hire caregivers who understand what it means to walk into someone’s home and treat it like sacred ground. We don’t rush, we don’t condescend, and we don’t pretend to know your family’s story. We listen, we show up consistently, and we let the trust build naturally — exactly the way it should.

A Local Agency That Listens First
Hummingbird Care Services was founded in Vero Beach in 2023 by Vero Beach native Colby Bechtold. We’re not a franchise. We’re not owned by a private equity firm. We’re a small, locally-operated agency that serves Indian River County families — including Gifford — because this is where we’re from.
That matters in a community where trust is everything. When you call us, you talk to our owner or our director. When a caregiver is assigned, they’re someone we know personally. And if anything ever feels off, you can reach us directly — no call center, no escalation queue, no runaround. That’s how it should work.
Every Street, Every Block
We Cover All of Gifford
Gifford families live across a tight-knit set of neighborhoods — from the historic blocks around 45th Street and 43rd Avenue to the newer developments along Highway 1 and 58th Avenue, plus the surrounding communities of Winter Beach, Wabasso, and north Vero.
Our caregivers serve all of them. We’re close — most of our team can be at your door in under 15 minutes from our Vero Beach office. And we work hard to build a roster that reflects the community we serve.
Don’t see your street? Call (772) 202-2213 — we serve all of Gifford, every neighborhood, every household that needs us.

For Gifford families, we typically have a caregiver in place within 2 to 3 days of your first call. For urgent situations — a Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital discharge, post-fall recovery, sudden caregiver loss — we can often begin care within 24 to 48 hours.
The full service line: Personal Assistance, Memory Support, Respite Care, 24-Hour Care, Companion Care, and Veteran Assistance. Home care Gifford families count on — at any level, from a few hours a week to live-in coverage — is available right here.
Yes. Our caregivers live in Indian River County, with many based in Vero Beach (15 minutes from Gifford). We don't bring in caregivers from outside the area. Local caregivers, local accountability — and we work hard to build a team that reflects the community we serve.
Pricing depends on level of care and hours per week. We keep rates consistent across all four counties we serve, and we accept private pay, long-term care insurance, and veteran's benefits. A free in-home consultation gives you a clear, written quote — no pressure, no surprises.
Yes. 24-hour and live-in care is available across all of Gifford. Our care coordinators build rotating local caregiver teams so you get continuity and consistent quality around the clock — same trained caregivers, every shift.
