About Us

Home With Help of Florida Inc. is privately owned and operated. We are licensed as a Nurse Registry, by the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA), which conducts regular audits, and on all audits our company has had perfect surveys. Since our company is privately owned we do not have to answer to a “franchise” or other controlling entity. This allows us to implement innovative, creative, and personalized care to all our patients.

We opened our first office in 2007 in Boynton Beach, to service patients in Palm Beach County.  We opened a second office in Broward County in 2012 after getting referrals from current patients to provide services for their friends and family just south of us in Broward County.

Michele Farkas RN BSN
Owner and Nursing Administrator

After living in NY all my life and working as a Nursing Administrator for a home care company in Brooklyn, NY, I decided to leave when shoveling snow became a second job.

 

I moved here with my sons in 2005 and started my own home care company after working for other companies and realizing that I had an opportunity to provide the type of care that they couldn’t.

 

Today, I have 2 offices providing care for patients in Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

I have over 20 years experience as a Nursing Administrator and owner, and even more as a Registered Nurse. Prior to moving to Florida, I was a Nursing administrator for a large home care company in Brooklyn, NY and a Nurse Auditor for the State of New York. 

 

After working as a nurse in a variety of positions, I know how care “should” be. As a daughter, I cared for my parents. As a home care company owner, I can coordinate and implement care plans that are individual and evolve with my patients’ needs.

 

I advocate extensively for my patients with all providers, including long term care insurance companies, MDs and ancillary providers, and will work to ensure that you not only get a wonderful care giver but that all insurance policies are accessed and every possible resource and benefit is carefully reviewed and utilized.

 

I absolutely love what I do I am always available to my patients and their families. On the bulletin board above my desk are letters and notes from many of our patients and their families thanking us for the level of service and compassion.

 

As an Orthodox Jew, I understand kosher home management and the special needs of Holocaust survivors. My experiences, both personal and professional, allow me to implement innovative plans and services for my clients so they can stay home safely.

 

I live in Boynton Beach and I am a member of Anshei Chesed Synagogue.
