Lux Senior Care is a Florida-licensed nurse registry that refers pre-screened care providers to seniors in Stuart and throughout Martin County. Families contract directly with the care provider they choose, which typically costs less than a home care agency and gives you far more say in who comes into your parent’s home.
We refer care providers across Stuart, Sewall’s Point, Palm City, Port Salerno, Rio, Jensen Beach, and Hobe Sound — and we can usually have candidates in front of you within a day.
Your first 4-hour shift is free with your first 40 hours scheduled. Call (561) 838-7165 or request a free referral consultation.
The days right after a discharge are when families feel the most pressure and have the least time to plan. A parent leaves Cleveland Clinic Martin North or Martin South with new medications, new mobility limits, and a follow-up appointment two weeks out — and the discharge planner asks who will be at home.
This is the moment Lux Senior Care was built for. We can refer screened care providers on short notice, including candidates experienced with post-surgical recovery, fall risk, wound-care support under a nurse’s direction, and the ordinary but exhausting work of getting someone safely from bed to bathroom for the first few weeks.
If you are working with a discharge planner or case manager at a Martin County facility, they can call us directly at (561) 838-7165. We are used to same-day conversations.
Most families in Stuart have never had this explained, so here it is plainly.
A home care agency employs its aides. The agency assigns you someone, bills you an hourly rate, and keeps a share of that rate to cover payroll taxes, workers’ compensation, overhead, and margin.
A nurse registry like Lux Senior Care does something different. We screen and credential independent care providers, we refer the ones who match your situation, and you contract directly with the provider you choose. There is no agency margin sitting between you and the person doing the work.
What that means in practice:
The trade-off is honest and worth stating: because care providers are independent contractors, you are contracting with an individual rather than a corporation. That is exactly why our screening matters, and why we do not refer anyone we have not verified ourselves.
| Nurse Registry (Lux Senior Care) | Home Care Agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Who employs the care provider | Independent contractor | The agency |
| Who selects the care provider | You do, from screened candidates | The agency assigns |
| Contract is between | You and the care provider | You and the agency |
| Typical cost to family | Lower — no agency margin | Higher |
| Schedule flexibility | Set directly with your provider | Agency minimums often apply |
| Continuity of provider | High — same person, your choice | Varies with agency staffing |
| Florida oversight | AHCA-licensed nurse registry | AHCA-licensed home health agency |

Families in Martin County typically fund home care through one or more of the following:
We will tell you honestly if we think another funding route serves you better than paying us privately.
We are not the only help available, and a good referral service says so. Families in Stuart may also want to contact the Council on Aging of Martin County at the Kane Center for meal programs, adult day services, and caregiver respite support, and the Area Agency on Aging of Palm Beach/Treasure Coast for benefits counseling and the statewide Elder Helpline.
Tell us about your situation and we will refer screened care providers who fit it. There is no cost to talk, no obligation, and no pressure.
Your first 4-hour shift is free with your first 40 hours scheduled.
Rates vary with the level of care and the hours scheduled, but registry referrals typically cost less per hour than home care agency rates because there is no agency margin between you and the care provider. Companion-level support costs less than skilled nursing. Call (561) 838-7165 for a specific quote for your situation — and your first 4-hour shift is free with your first 40 hours scheduled.
No. Lux Senior Care is a nurse registry licensed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration. We screen and refer independent care providers, and you contract directly with the provider you select. We do not employ care providers.
In most cases we can present screened candidates within 24 hours, and we regularly handle same-day hospital discharge situations from Cleveland Clinic Martin North and Martin South.
Yes, and this is the central advantage of the registry model. You review screened candidates and select the person you want. If the fit is not right, tell us and we will refer additional candidates.
Yes. Our registry includes providers available for overnight shifts, 24-hour rotating coverage, and live-in arrangements.

We refer care providers throughout Martin County, including Stuart, Sewall’s Point, Palm City, Port Salerno, Rio, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, and Indiantown, and across St. Lucie, Palm Beach, Indian River, and Okeechobee Counties.
