Peace of mind. It’s what every family in Wellington wants when caring for elderly family members in estate homes. You want them safe, comfortable, and home. Preferred Care at Home of Boca Delray brings over 40 years of experience providing compassionate care to families throughout Palm Beach County, West Palm Beach, and Wellington’s equestrian community.
We’ve been helping older adults age in place with dignity since 1984. Our founder-led approach means you get four decades of continuous expertise serving Wellington, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Lake Worth, and Royal Palm Beach. We provide high quality care with experienced caregivers who understand estate home living in the Palm Beach area.
What sets us apart is affordable quality. While assisted living in Wellington FL averages $3,763 monthly, our around the clock care provides 24-hour peace of mind at lower cost. Our Transparency Room portal lets families monitor care services from anywhere—perfect for adult children managing parents’ wellbeing from other states.
Loneliness affects Wellington seniors in large estate homes. Our companion care provides social interaction and emotional support that elderly residents need. We offer companionship through meaningful conversation, activities, and genuine connection—not just task completion.
The right caregiver shares interests with your loved one. This creates real friendships. Whether accompanying your family member to polo matches or enjoying quality time on the lanai, our compassionate caregivers become trusted companions who provide support daily.
Daily activities like bathing become overwhelming as we age. Our personal care services help with activities of daily living while maintaining dignity. From mobility support to medication reminders, professional caregivers assist with everyday tasks that preserve independence.
We customize personal care to individual needs. Some Wellington residents need verbal prompts. Others require comprehensive assistance. Our home health aides provide exactly the support level that ensures safety in your own home while respecting autonomy.
Around the clock care in your own home. Our 24-hour live-in care delivers continuous supervision without institutional placement. Guest rooms in Wellington’s estate homes accommodate this arrangement comfortably for both client and caregiver.
This is our specialty—providing private duty care that families trust. We’ve offered cost-effective live-in services since 1984, delivering peace of mind at prices that preserve savings. Your caregiver provides overnight assistance and emergency response while your loved one stays home.
Memory loss changes everything. Our specialized dementia care helps seniors with cognitive decline stay safe in familiar surroundings. We understand the challenges of caring for someone whose memories fade.
Our caregivers receive dementia-specific training. They manage behavioral changes, prevent wandering in large properties, and provide cognitive engagement. Family education is included because dementia affects everyone. This specialized care makes a significant difference in quality of life.
Returning home from hospitals brings confusion—rehabilitation instructions, prescriptions, follow-up appointments. Our transition care prevents readmissions affecting 2.6 million seniors yearly. Healthcare professionals trust us to bridge hospital discharge and recovery.
We help with medication reminders, schedule appointments, provide transportation, and communicate with your medical team. This evidence-based service combines four components proven to keep elderly people safe during recovery at home.
When maintaining estate homes becomes burdensome, moving feels inevitable. Our homemaker care handles light housekeeping, meal preparation, and errands so loved ones stay home. Clean surroundings and nutrition matter for health and well-being.
We handle tasks that became too difficult—grocery shopping, laundry, tidying, meal planning. These home health care services aren’t medical, but they’re essential for aging in place. Help with daily tasks lets your parent focus energy on enjoyable activities.
Family caregivers need breaks. Our respite care provides temporary relief preventing burnout. Whether you need hours, weekends, or weeks, professional care continues seamlessly while you rest.
Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. Our caregivers follow your loved one’s routine without disruption. You get quality time away knowing your parent receives personalized attention from capable, compassionate hands.
We take a thoughtful, personalized approach to ensure your loved one receives the care they deserve.

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 equestrian community.
We Serve:
Care services in Wellington vary by service level and hours needed. Hourly companion and personal care typically cost less than the $3,763 monthly assisted living average. Live-in care provides 24-hour supervision at significantly lower cost than facilities. We offer free consultations providing accurate pricing for your needs. Transparency matters—we explain all costs upfront with no hidden fees.
We bring unique advantages to Palm Beach County families: 40+ years of active founder involvement, personality-based caregiver matching, Transparency Room technology for remote monitoring, live-in care specialty offering affordable 24/7 peace, 7-step screening beyond basic background checks, and family-owned approach versus corporate franchises. Owner Amy Weiss personally experienced finding reliable care challenges. This isn’t just business—it’s personal commitment to excellent service.
It depends on supervision needs. Hourly care works when seniors need help with specific daily tasks but remain safe alone. Live-in makes sense when 24-hour supervision is required for safety, dementia, or medical needs. Live-in arrangements cost less than round-the-clock hourly rates and dramatically less than assisted living. Our free consultation assesses your situation and recommends the most appropriate, affordable option.
We often begin within 24-48 hours for urgent situations like post-hospital discharge. For planned care, we typically start within one week of consultation. Timeline depends on finding the right personality match and coordinating schedules. Wellington’s size and our established network usually allow quick placement. We prioritize urgent needs regardless of seasonal factors.
Common signs include difficulty with daily living activities like bathing or meal preparation, missed medications, unexplained weight loss, or confusion. Falls signal safety concerns. Social isolation and depression are indicators. If you worry constantly when working or living in another state, that’s a sign. Many families reach out after hospitalization or when doctors express concerns about living alone safely.
While warranties don’t apply to care services, we guarantee quality through continuous monitoring. Our 7-step screening ensures only qualified, compassionate caregivers join us. Transparency Room provides real-time oversight. Management regularly checks with families and caregivers. If ever unsatisfied, we replace caregivers immediately. We adjust care plans as needs change at no additional planning fee. Your satisfaction drives everything.
Absolutely. Wellington’s equestrian lifestyle creates unique needs our caregivers understand. While we don’t provide horse care, companion and homemaker services coordinate with existing barn staff, farriers, and veterinarians. If your parent’s routine includes checking horses or coordinating feeding, we help maintain those connections. Many Wellington seniors find comfort staying involved with equestrian activities even when physical limitations prevent hands-on care.
We visit your estate home at your convenience. During relaxed conversation, we learn about routines, care needs, and personality. We discuss medical conditions, mobility limitations, and cognitive concerns. You share what’s working and what’s difficult. We explain services, answer questions, and provide honest recommendations. No sales pressure. You’ll understand options and costs clearly. Most consultations take 45-60 minutes.
Medicare typically doesn’t cover non-medical services like companion and homemaker care. However, Medicare Advantage plans sometimes include limited hours. Long-term care insurance policies often cover our care services in Wellington, and the Palm Beach area has higher policy ownership. Check your specific policy. We provide documentation for insurance claims.
We combat turnover through careful hiring, competitive compensation, and genuine support. Our 7-step screening identifies people committed to long-term caregiving. Personality matching creates real relationships caregivers value. When changes occur, we transition carefully with overlapping visits—no sudden strangers. Most Palm Beach Gardens and Wellington families keep the same caregiver for years. Consistency matters tremendously, especially for those with dementia. We’re committed to continuity.
