As we age, a big part of happiness depends on being comfortable and cared for at home. Finding reliable senior care that helps your loved one remain independent can feel overwhelming. Preferred Care at Home brings over 40 years of experience to the Jupiter area, connecting families with professional caregivers who provide compassionate support right where they belong.
We’ve been helping families navigate senior home care challenges since 1984. With over 40 years of experience throughout Palm Beach County, we understand what Jupiter families need, whether your loved one lives in a waterfront home along the Loxahatchee River, a golf community like Admirals Cove, or the rural acreage of Jupiter Farms.
What sets us apart is simple: we match caregivers to clients based on personality and experience, not just availability. Our home care agency provides a customized plan for each family’s individual needs. Plus, family members living in Palm Beach Gardens, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, or out of state can monitor care through our Transparency Room portal, giving you peace of mind from anywhere.
Our personal care services help Jupiter seniors with daily activities while maintaining their dignity and independence at home. From bathing and dressing assistance to medication reminders, we customize support to match exactly what you need, whether that’s help with one task or comprehensive care throughout the day.
We understand that accepting help with personal tasks isn’t easy. That’s why our senior caregivers are trained not just in the physical aspects of care but in preserving the dignity and autonomy of every person they serve. We assist with eating, mobility, and all activities of daily living.
Loneliness can be as harmful to health as many chronic conditions. Our companion care services provide Jupiter seniors with meaningful social interaction in familiar surroundings, whether that’s conversation over coffee, accompaniment to Jupiter Medical Center appointments, or company during walks along the Jupiter Waterway Trail.
Companion care is about more than just having someone in the house. It’s about building a relationship with a caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with your loved one, creating a positive impact on quality of life each day.
Our homemaker care keeps Jupiter homes clean, comfortable, and safe. When caring for the home becomes a burden, our caregivers step in with light housekeeping, meal preparation, grocery shopping, and errands, so your loved one can enjoy their own home without worry.
This non-medical support focuses on the daily tasks that make home feel like home: fresh linens, a tidy kitchen, nutritious meals, and a well-stocked refrigerator.
For Jupiter families who need around-the-clock support, our live-in care provides 24-hour peace of mind in the comfort and privacy of your loved one’s home. A dedicated caregiver lives with your family member, providing continuous support, overnight assistance, and consistent companionship.
Live-in care is often more affordable than you might imagine. It provides the security of 24-hour supervision at a fraction of the cost of three 8-hour shifts, making it a cost-effective solution for families in Abacoa, The Bluffs, or Jonathan’s Landing.
Our specialized dementia care services help Jupiter families navigate the challenges of memory loss with compassion and expertise. Home health aides trained in dementia care understand how to communicate effectively, manage behavioral changes, and create a safe, calm environment for your loved one.
Memory loss affects the whole family. We provide not just care for your loved one but support and education for you, helping you understand what’s happening and how to navigate the journey ahead.
After a stay at Jupiter Medical Center or PAM Health Rehab, coming home can feel overwhelming. Our transition care services help prevent hospital readmission by providing medication reminders, appointment coordination, and recovery support during those critical first weeks at home.
Too often, elderly parents are sent home with confusing instructions and complex medication schedules. We provide care management and guidance through the recovery process.
We take a thoughtful, personalized approach to ensure your loved one receives the care they deserve.

Long-Distance Family Caregiving
What It Looks Like
Adult children in West Palm Beach, Miami, or out of state worry about elderly parents living alone in Jupiter. They can’t check in daily or respond to emergencies quickly.
How We Help
Our Transparency Room portal lets families monitor care from anywhere. View caregiver schedules, read daily notes, and access invoices online. We’re your eyes and ears when you can’t be there.
Challenge
Post-Hospitalization Confusion
What It Looks Like
After discharge from Jupiter Medical Center, seniors come home with complex medication schedules, rehabilitation instructions, and multiple follow-up appointments but no support system.
How We Help
Our transition care program provides dedicated care management. We help with medication reminders, schedule appointments, coordinate with healthcare providers, and prevent readmission during critical recovery weeks.
Challenge
Waterfront Home Safety
What It Looks Like
Seniors living along the Loxahatchee River or Intracoastal face unique fall risks with dock access, boat equipment, and waterfront property maintenance they can no longer manage safely.
How We Help
Our caregivers identify waterfront hazards and provide mobility assistance. We help maintain outdoor spaces and ensure your loved one can enjoy their property without risk while they remain independent.
Challenge
Finding Reliable Care
What It Looks Like
Jupiter families struggle to find consistent home health services. Private hires don’t show up, agencies shuffle caregivers weekly, and quality varies dramatically across providers in Palm Beach County.
How We Help
We guarantee caregiver consistency through personality-based matching and our 7-step screening process. Our caregivers are bonded, insured, and background-checked. Read reviews from Jupiter families who trust us.
Challenge
Active Lifestyle Support

How We Help
Our companion care services provide transportation to golf courses, beach access support, and companionship for social activities. We help seniors stay engaged with the Jupiter lifestyle they love.
Challenge
Managing Chronic Health Conditions
What It Looks Like
Elderly residents with diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, or multiple chronic conditions need consistent monitoring, medication management, and coordination between multiple doctors and specialists.
How We Help
Our home health aides provide medication reminders, monitor symptoms, coordinate care between providers, and ensure treatment plans are followed. We work with skilled nursing when medical needs require professional oversight.
We proudly serve families across Palm Beach County from our locally owned Boca Delray location. Amy Weiss’s team provides responsive care and understands the unique needs of seniors aging in place throughout this coastal community.

In-home care costs in Jupiter typically range from $4,500 to $5,000 per month for part-time services, depending on the level of care needed. Live-in care averages less per day than hourly shift-based care. We provide free consultations and transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Many Jupiter families use long-term care insurance, VA benefits, or private pay to cover costs. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your long-term care policy and help maximize insurance benefits.
We’ve served families since 1984 with a deep understanding of what Jupiter seniors need. Our key differences: professional caregivers matched by personality and experience (not just availability), our proprietary Transparency Room portal for remote family monitoring, and genuinely affordable pricing. Unlike corporate agencies, we’re family-operated with third-generation home care expertise. Our 7-step screening process ensures quality caregivers who build lasting relationships with clients. We provide compassionate care that creates a positive impact on daily life.
Live-in care works best when your loved one needs 24-hour supervision or overnight assistance. One caregiver stays in your loved one’s home, providing continuous support at a lower daily cost than three 8-hour shifts. Hourly care is ideal for part-time needs like morning routines, medication reminders, or companion visits. We’ll assess your situation during the consultation and recommend the most cost-effective option based on your family’s individual needs.
We can often begin care within 24 to 48 hours for urgent situations like hospital discharge. Planned care typically starts within 3 to 5 days after your initial consultation. The timeline depends on caregiver availability and your specific needs. We prioritize rapid placement for families facing immediate challenges while ensuring proper caregiver matching for the best care possible.
Common signs include difficulty with bathing, dressing, or eating, missed medications, weight loss from poor nutrition, frequent falls, social isolation, or declining housekeeping. If your Jupiter parent struggles with activities of daily living, feels unsafe alone, or you worry constantly about their wellbeing, it’s time to explore care options. We offer free consultations to assess needs honestly and help determine if non-medical support or skilled nursing care is appropriate.
Most long-term care insurance policies cover custodial care services like bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and companionship. We work directly with insurance providers to verify benefits and submit required documentation. Our team has extensive experience navigating long-term care policies to maximize your coverage. During your consultation, bring your policy information and we’ll review eligibility together. Many Jupiter area families successfully use their insurance to make quality care affordable.
Ask about caregiver screening processes, background checks, and training requirements. Find out how they handle caregiver absences, who provides backup coverage, and whether you can meet caregivers before they start. Discuss pricing transparency, insurance they carry, and how they monitor quality. Ask if they serve your specific Jupiter neighborhood and understand local challenges. Request to read reviews from other clients. We encourage families to contact multiple agencies and compare before making this important decision.
We match based on personality, interests, communication style, and experience with your loved one’s specific conditions. During assessment, we learn about hobbies, preferences, and routines. Then we select senior caregivers who share those interests and have relevant training. You’ll meet potential caregivers before deciding. If the match isn’t right, we try again until you find someone who connects genuinely. This personalized approach helps clients remain independent longer in their own homes.
Yes. We provide educational resources for families navigating senior care decisions, including information about Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits, and long-term care planning. While we don’t run formal support groups, we connect families with local Palm Beach County resources and community organizations that offer support groups for caregivers. Our team is always available to answer questions and provide guidance throughout your care journey.
We serve families throughout southern Palm Beach County and northern Broward County, including Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, North Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, Lake Worth, Loxahatchee, and Highland Beach. Our caregivers travel to clients throughout the Jupiter area, from waterfront communities to Jupiter Farms. We understand the diverse needs of families across Palm Beach and Florida’s Gold Coast, providing home health services in familiar surroundings where seniors feel most comfortable.
