In home care services Indian River Estates families can trust for kind, dependable help at home. Hummingbird caregivers support older adults on the south side of Fort Pierce with personal care, memory support, respite, 24-hour coverage, companionship, veteran assistance, and palliative comfort care.
In home care services Indian River Estates families arrange usually grow out of small changes that add up: a parent who is unsteady in the shower, meals that get skipped, prescriptions that are refilled late, or a car that has been parked for good. Hummingbird Care Services provides non-medical help for exactly those moments, including bathing and dressing, safe walking and transfers, meals, medication reminders, laundry, light housekeeping, errands, and rides to appointments.
Indian River Estates is an established residential neighborhood on the south side of Fort Pierce, a short drive from downtown Fort Pierce, US 1 shopping, and Port St. Lucie. Many residents have owned their homes for years, raised families here, and want to stay put. Home care is how that becomes possible as needs change, without uprooting a parent from the street, the neighbors, and the routines they know.
Care is scheduled around the real need. Some families begin with a few hours on bathing days. Others need a caregiver every afternoon while working adults are away, overnight help for a parent with dementia, or full 24 hour in home care in Indian River Estates after a hospital stay. The plan can expand, shrink, or pause as your loved one’s situation changes.
Every plan starts with a free in-home consultation. A Hummingbird director meets your loved one, learns their daily routine, looks for safety concerns like entry steps and bathroom layout, and talks through options and costs with the family. You can see how we serve the wider area on our St. Lucie County home care page.
Every Hummingbird service is available throughout Indian River Estates and the rest of Fort Pierce, from a few hours a week to around-the-clock care.
Hummingbird Care Services is a locally owned Treasure Coast agency. We are not a national franchise, and our owners and directors are directly involved in planning care for families in Indian River Estates, Fort Pierce, and across St. Lucie County.

We are licensed by the State of Florida as a home health agency (license #299995921), fully insured, and audited for compliance with state home care rules. Every caregiver passes a Level 2 background check and drug screening and completes dementia training before working with a family.

Indian River Estates sits between downtown Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie, so we regularly support families in both directions and coordinate care when relatives live in different parts of the county.

Many residents are treated at HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital in Fort Pierce or HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital in Port St. Lucie. The days right after a hospital stay are when falls and missed medications are most likely, and having a caregiver ready for the first day and night home can prevent a return trip. With notice, we can usually arrange that coverage.
