About Lake City Home Care
A locally owned home care agency started by a Lake City daughter who cared for her own mother, and built around one idea: care should feel like home.
Our Lake City Home Care Story
It started with my mother.
When Catherine Hale's mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Catherine did what so many Lake City daughters do: she became the caregiver. She learned what helped, what didn't, and how much it mattered to have someone patient and familiar walk through the door.
She started Lake City Home Care to give other families that same steadiness. Today our caregivers serve families across Columbia County and North Central Florida, but the promise is the same: we treat every client the way Catherine wanted her mother treated.
What we believe
Three promises to every family.
Dignity first
Your parent stays in charge of their day. We ask, we listen and we follow their routines.
The same faces
Small, consistent caregiver teams, because trust is built week after week.
Local and accountable
A Lake City office and a coordinator who answers when you call.
“I started this agency after caring for my own mother here in Lake City. Every family gets the care I wanted for her.”
