Where We Serve: Nurse Registry Care Across Cape Coral, Fort Myers & Southwest Florida

Local Care, Coordinated From Cape Coral

When you need a nurse in your home, distance matters. A caregiver who lives forty minutes away in season traffic is a caregiver who shows up late — or not at all. That is why Gulfside Living Healthcare Services is building its registry the way Southwest Florida actually lives: locally, county by county, with nurses who know the area because they live here too.

Our office is in Cape Coral, and our service area covers the heart of Southwest Florida's Gulf Coast.

Lee County — Our Home Base

Lee County is where Gulfside Living started and where our coverage is deepest:

• Cape Coral — our headquarters, at 1136 NE Pine Island Rd
• Fort Myers and Fort Myers Beach
• Lehigh Acres
• Bonita Springs and Estero
• North Fort Myers and Pine Island

Lee County is also home to one of the fastest-growing senior populations in the country — and one of the busiest hospital discharge pipelines in Florida. Families here often need in-home care arranged the same day a hospital stay ends. Our standard is care coordinated within one hour of your call.

Collier County — Naples and Beyond

South of us, Collier County brings some of the highest demand for private-duty and specialty nursing in the state:

• Naples
• Marco Island
• Immokalee and Golden Gate

Many of our Collier County inquiries involve infusion therapy and post-surgical recovery at home — services that depend on nurses with specific clinical skills like PICC line and port access. You can read more in our guides to home infusion therapy and PICC line care at home.

Charlotte County — Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte

North along the Gulf, we cover:

• Punta Gorda
• Port Charlotte
• Englewood

Charlotte County families often tell us the same thing: there are not enough local caregivers to go around. Building registry coverage here is a priority for us.

Sarasota & Manatee Counties — The Northern Gulf Coast

Continuing up the coast, our service area reaches:

• Venice and North Port
• Sarasota
• Bradenton

The Sarasota–Bradenton corridor has one of the largest retiree populations on Florida's Gulf Coast, and demand for private-duty nursing and companion care here keeps growing. As our registry expands, these communities are a key part of our coverage map.

What We Refer Across Our Service Area

Gulfside Living is a nurse registry — we refer licensed, independent, background-screened professionals, and you choose who comes into your home:

• Registered Nurses (RNs) — skilled care, infusion, complex needs
• Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) — medication management, wound care, monitoring
• Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) — personal care and daily living support
• Home Health Aides (HHAs) — hands-on help at home
• Companions — presence, conversation, errands, peace of mind

Every professional in our registry is license-verified, Level 2 background-screened, and checked against federal exclusion lists — see exactly how in our credentialing process explained.

Growing With Southwest Florida

Gulfside Living Healthcare Services is currently completing the Florida nurse registry licensing process and will be fully operational upon licensure. From Bradenton down to Naples, we are building toward coverage across all of Southwest Florida, with the goal of becoming the region's most trusted nurse registry.
