The Hidden Crisis Behind Senior Care: Why Referred 24/7 Caregivers Have Never Been More Important
In 2025, families across Florida are facing a growing challenge: finding reliable, qualified, and compassionate care for aging loved ones in the middle of a national healthcare staffing shortage. As traditional facilities continue to experience record vacancy rates, more families are turning to Florida nurse registry-based home care solutions that allow them to receive care directly in the safety and comfort of home.
At 24/7 Nursing Care, a Florida Nurse Registry, our role is to refer independently licensed and credentialed caregivers—including Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), Home Health Aides (HHAs), and Nurses (RNs and LPNs)—who can provide care directly for your loved one. This model offers families access to qualified care while allowing greater flexibility, continuity, and personalization.
Demand Is Surging — While Traditional Staffing Shortages Continue
America’s population is aging faster than ever. At the same time, nursing homes and assisted living facilities across the country report lower staffing levels than pre-pandemic numbers. Many facilities are limiting admissions simply because they cannot staff at safe levels.
This widening gap forces families to explore safer alternatives—and home-based care has become one of the most trusted solutions.
Why Care Delivered Through a Nurse Registry Matters Now
- Direct care relationships
When caregivers are referred through a nurse registry, they work directly with the client, allowing families to establish long-term relationships with the professionals providing care.
- More choice and control
Families have:
- choice of caregiver
- the ability to request continuity
- flexibility in scheduling
- the ability to add or change services
- Personalized care plans
Caregivers can help with:
- dementia support
- personal care and hygiene
- medication reminders
- companionship
- mobility support
…and more, depending on the caregiver’s license and training.
- 24/7 availability
Because care is provided in the home and organized directly with independent caregivers, families can receive support:
- days
- overnights
- weekend
- holidays
- live-in arrangements
The Advantage of Referring Caregivers Through a Nurse Registry
At a time when many facilities face staffing constraints, nurse registries play a critical role:
- Clients maintain control over care decisions
- Care remains personalized
- Families can request continuity
- Care is delivered in the home
- Staffing gaps are reduced
- Quality remains at the center of the process
Our responsibility as a nurse registry is to carefully refer caregivers who have been background screened, credentialed, qualified, and aligned with the client’s needs and preferences.
