Who We Are

Our administrative and support staff have been providing care for Floridians in need of help since 2004. We have had the opportunity to work with and aid many clients and we look forward to becoming a part of many more people’s lives. Our president, Melissa McHale, started Saint Michael’s Home Care with the vision of providing a service that exceeded people’s expectations. Through having pride in our work, enjoying the time with our clients, and a belief that we should treat others as a family we have all made that vision a reality. Mr. and Mrs. McHale, as well as the rest of our staff, are the embodiment of what excellent home care should be.
