From ER nurse to community care leader
In the quiet intensity of a hospital emergency room, Colby Bechtold often wondered what happened to patients after they left. As an ER nurse, he saw many seniors return repeatedly, not because their conditions couldn’t be managed, but because they lacked support at home. At the same time, Bechtold was raising his son as a single parent while helping care for his aging grandparents, giving him insight into the challenges families face when seeking dependable in-home care. That experience inspired him to launch Hummingbird Care Services in 2023.

In St. Lucie and Indian River counties, the market appears steadier, with some signs of renewed momentum. For buyers who had been priced out or waiting on the sidelines, that could mean opportunity.
