About the agency
We believe people heal better at home
Surrounded by family, in familiar surroundings, with skilled care that comes to them. That belief is why this agency exists — and how we treat every family we serve.
Why this agency exists
Why we started this agency
My wife and I cared for my father at home through his final years. We learned what it really means to hand a parent's care to someone else — the worry, the trust it takes, and the difference a kind, capable person can make on a hard day.
That experience is why we do this work. We wanted to build the agency we wished our family had: one that brings real clinical skill into the home, treats people with dignity, and shows up when it says it will. We're small on purpose, so every family gets our full attention.
When you call, you'll reach people who live here and care about getting it right — including us. That's a promise we can keep because this is personal.

What we're for
Mission and vision
Our mission
To help Tampa Bay's seniors heal and stay independent at home — delivering expert clinical care and dependable everyday help, with the warmth and respect we'd want for our own family.
Our vision
To be Tampa Bay's most trusted name in home health and home care — the agency families recommend, physicians rely on, and clinicians are proud to work for.
Our standard
What we stand for
Six things we hold ourselves to on every visit, for every family.
Clinical excellence
The skill and attention to detail that help you or your loved one heal and stay safe at home.
Warmth & dignity
Every patient is treated like family — a person and a neighbor, never a case number.
We show up
When you need us, we're there — on time, easy to reach, and quick to respond.
Care for everyone
Medicare, Medicaid, or private pay — every family receives the same quality and the same compassion.
Local & accountable
Owned and operated right here in Tampa — held to the standard you'd expect from your own family.
One team, start to finish
Start with skilled care, and when it ends the same local team carries on with the everyday help. Come to us for personal care only, and you keep the same caregivers visit after visit. Either way, you never start over with a new agency.
Licensing
Credentials & licensing
The credentials families and physicians actually weigh:
- Medicare Certified
- State of Florida AHCA License #299995051
- Joint Commission Accredited
- Bonded & Insured
A&Z's existing Medicare certification is a scarce, protected asset — new home health certifications are under a nationwide moratorium, so an established, certified local agency is harder to find than ever.
Who delivers your care
Every visit is made by a licensed clinician or certified aide — registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, physical, occupational and speech therapists, medical social workers, and home health aides and CNAs. Each one is screened, credential-verified, and supervised by our clinical team.
Care for your family, from ours
We'd be honored to help. Reach out and we'll walk you through the next step.
