They provide excellent in-home caregivers and can send additional help to care facilities when allowed. I’ve used several agencies, but this branch truly stands out—the staff is the most qualified, the same caregiver comes regularly, and if a substitute is needed, I’m notified well in advance and the replacement is always wonderful. They screen their employees more thoroughly than others.
Important note: Homewell is a national franchise—this recommendation is based solely on my personal experience with the Naples branch and does not reflect other locations.

As part of our commitment to supporting you through life’s transitions, the What’s Next Committee is proud to introduce the Lending Medical Equipment Registry—a neighbor-to-neighbor network that connects residents who need medical support items with those who have them to share. From walkers to shower stools and more, we’re making it easier to borrow or lend with dignity, simplicity, and kindness.
We don’t have a central storage space—instead, you keep your item until it’s needed. Our team (led by D’Lee Bartholome) maintains a catalog of available equipment and coordinates pickup and delivery when there’s a match.
It’s one more way we’re showing up for each other—because sometimes, what’s next is just a little help away.
For borrowing or lending medical supplies through the What’s Next committee, fill out the form below or leave a message for D’Lee Bartholome at 765-744-1831.
