If you work with older adults in Polk County — as a discharge planner, case manager, social worker, assisted living team, elder-law attorney, hospice or home-health agency, physical therapist, or faith community — you already know the hardest part of your job isn’t the plan. It’s knowing the family will actually be okay once they leave your care. Compassionate Choice exists to be the dependable, non-medical partner you can hand a family to and trust completely.
Who we partner with
Hospitals & Discharge Planners
Non-medical support in the critical first 30 days home — the everyday hours your team can’t cover — that helps a discharge actually hold.
Case Managers & Social Workers
A trusted option for the patient who doesn’t qualify for skilled home health but clearly can’t manage alone. We fill the non-medical gap.
Assisted Living Communities
We bring you pre-screened, private-pay families who are ready to tour — and we support residents who need extra one-on-one companionship.
Elder-Law Attorneys
When your clients need care coordinated while the legal and financial pieces come together, we’re a steady, ethical hand for the family.
Hospice & Home Health
We complement your medical care with the companionship, meals, and presence that families so often need alongside it.
Churches & Senior Centers
A warm, licensed local resource you can point congregants and members toward when a family quietly asks for help.
Why professionals refer families to us
- Free to refer, always. There is never a cost to you or your organization for sending a family our way.
- Same-day response. We reach out to the family promptly and keep the process moving.
- We keep you posted. You’ll know the referral landed and care is underway, so you can close the loop with confidence.
- One point of contact. You deal directly with owner Kristina Leach — no call center, no handoffs.
- Licensed & accountable. Florida AHCA Registration #241906, non-medical companion & homemaker care.
- Discreet & consent-based. We handle every family’s information respectfully and only reach out with appropriate consent.
The referral process is genuinely one call. Give us the family’s name and the best way to reach them, and we carry the rest — the intake conversation, scheduling, and matching the right companion. We wrote it all out here: One Call, Same-Day Response →
It works both ways
A good partnership isn’t a one-way street. When a family we serve needs something outside our lane — skilled nursing, therapy, legal help, hospice, the right assisted living community — we point them toward trusted local partners. We’d be glad to know your work so we can refer families who need exactly what you do.
For assisted living communities
Our free senior placement service brings you families who have already been through an intake conversation with Kristina — they know their budget, the care level needed, and are ready to tour. Our simple, one-page referral partner agreement is plain-language and governed by Florida law, with no long-term exclusivity required.
