If your mom is still in her Old Town bungalow and you’re trying to figure out how to keep her there safely, you already know the hard part. Companion visits, hands-on bathing help, dementia supervision, and a break for you are not the same service, and piecing them together from different sources compounds the stress. Preferred Care at Home offers eight types of in home care across Lake Worth Beach, FL and south Palm Beach County under one roof.
Lake Worth Beach, FL families navigate care decisions across close-knit neighborhoods like Old Town and College Park, often with adult children living elsewhere.
South Florida heat year-round
What It Looks Like
An older adult in a Lake Worth Beach home avoids errands and outdoor activities because summer heat raises fall and dehydration risks, leaving them isolated for weeks at a time.
How We Help
Companion and Homemaker Care plus Personal Care brings the support inside, accompanies medical appointments during cooler hours, and keeps daily routines on track.
Challenge
Older Lake Worth Beach housing stock
What It Looks Like
A loved one in an Old Town or Lucerne-area home struggles bathing in a small bathroom or navigating stairs after a hospital stay, making mobility unsafe day to day.
How We Help
Personal Care covers hands-on bathing, dressing, and mobility help. Transition Care supports the recovery period after a hospital discharge.
Challenge
Home care versus home health confusion
What It Looks Like
Families assume one provider handles both Medicare-covered nursing services and daily-living help, then learn Florida splits the scope by license. They lose weeks figuring it out.
How We Help
We provide non-medical home health care services. Companion and Homemaker Care, Personal Care, and Dementia Care cover daily living. We coordinate alongside medical professionals when needed.
Challenge
Picking the wrong service type
What It Looks Like
A family books “companion care” thinking it includes bathing, then finds out companion-only support cannot do hands-on personal care. The loved one’s needs go unmet for days.
How We Help
We map needs to the right home care services before care starts. Companion and Homemaker Care for social support, Personal Care for hands-on help, Dementia Care for memory loss.
Challenge
Delayed setup after a hospital stay
What It Looks Like
A Lake Worth Beach family waits to arrange care after a discharge, the loved one struggles alone the first 72 hours, and a second incident or readmission follows within weeks.
How We Help
Transition Care starts on discharge day. Live-in Care covers overnight when a loved one cannot be alone. Respite care gives the family caregiver a break before burnout.
Challenge
Adult children managing care from out of state
What It Looks Like
An adult daughter in another state cannot tell whether her parent in Lake Worth Beach is eating, taking medication on schedule, or safe overnight. Phone calls only confirm the obvious.
How We Help
The Transparency Room portal shows shift notes, tasks completed, and caregiver updates. Live-in Care or scheduled companion shifts close the overnight gap.
Preferred Care at Home of Boca Delray and NPB is family-owned, with Amy Weiss as owner and administrator alongside Holly, Kim, and Len Weiss. We’re part of the national Preferred Care at Home network founded in 1984, with three generations of family caregiving experience, and we serve Lake Worth, Florida and south Palm Beach County from local Boca Raton offices.
Amy learned how hard reliable care is to find while helping her grandmother in assisted living and her father when he needed round-the-clock support. That experience shapes how we screen caregivers and match them by personality, with extensive background checks before anyone steps inside your loved one’s home. Read more on our story.
Loneliness is its own health problem for Lake Worth seniors and older adults. Companion and Homemaker Care brings social engagement, light housekeeping, errands, meal preparation, and accompanied outings, like an afternoon walk through Bryant Park or a grocery shopping trip when driving feels unsafe. It’s the right starting place for elderly people who are mostly independent but spending too many days alone in their own home.
Each caregiver is matched by personality, not just availability. We screen every caregiver through a 7-step background and reference process before they meet your loved one, and shifts can run from a few hours up depending on the week. Our trained aides handle essential services that help maintain independent living and daily tasks.
When companionship isn’t enough, hands-on help becomes the difference between staying home and not. Personal Care covers bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility, and transfers. In a Lake Worth, FL home with stairs or a single tight bathroom, those daily living tasks are where independence either holds or starts to slip.
We assign one caregiver to keep the routine consistent, plan the day around what your loved one already does, and post shift notes through our Transparency Room portal so family members stay updated between visits. Our home health aides handle the personalized assistance that protects dignity and independence at home.
Memory loss does better with structure than surprises. Dementia Care brings predictable daily routines, calm redirection, and steady supervision so a loved one can stay in familiar surroundings rather than move into a memory care community or assisted living facilities. The neighborhood, the photos on the wall, and the morning coffee spot all stay the same.
Our caregivers are trained for dementia behaviors, and we walk through the home for safety risks before care begins. The plan adjusts as the condition changes. That structure helps Lake Worth residents remain independent longer in their own home.
Five more types of care round out the eight options across south Palm Beach County: Alzheimer’s Care with stage-appropriate plans, Homemaker and Respite Care for tired family caregivers, Transition Care for the first 72 hours after a hospital discharge, Live-in Care for 24-hour coverage, and End of Life Care alongside hospice. Your family deserves caregivers chosen for who they are, not just when they’re available. Let us match the right person to your loved one’s needs.

Lake Worth Beach’s mix of historic bungalow districts, lakefront housing, and inland communities means in-home care needs vary by area. Seniors in different neighborhoods face distinct challenges based on housing age, layout, and proximity to amenities.
Neighborhood
What We Look For
Old Town
What We Look For
Historic bungalow district where older one-story homes have small bathrooms and tight kitchens. Personal Care and Companion and Homemaker Care help loved ones manage bathing, meals, and daily routines safely in the home they’ve known for decades.
Neighborhood
College Park
What It Looks Like
Mid-century neighborhood with longtime residents aging in place. Many seniors here need transportation help and medication reminders; companion care and personal care support both partners in a household.
Neighborhood
Lucerne
What We Look For
Older housing stock often means stairs and split-level layouts that increase fall risk after a hospital stay. Transition Care covers the recovery period, and Personal Care keeps mobility safe day to day.
Neighborhood
Bryant Park / Lakefront
What We Look For
Lakeside seniors often want to stay active outdoors. Companion and Homemaker Care brings accompaniment for afternoon walks through Bryant Park, errands, and grocery trips when driving no longer feels safe.
Neighborhood
Lake Osborne / South Lake Worth
What We Look For
Inland communities along Lake Osborne face the same year-round heat and isolation challenges as the rest of Lake Worth Beach. Caregivers coordinate transportation, medical appointments, and routine support so loved ones can stay engaged and safe.

Home care is non-medical daily-life support, like companion and personal care. Home health is medical care, like nursing or physical therapy, ordered through a doctor and often covered by Medicare.
Non-medical home care covers companionship, bathing, dressing, meals, and routines for a loved one staying in their Lake Worth Beach, FL home. Home health services are skilled medical or therapy care ordered under qualifying conditions. Preferred Care at Home provides non-medical home health care. We coordinate alongside home health providers when families need both.
Companion care fits errands, meals, housekeeping, and social support. If your loved one needs hands-on bathing, dressing, or mobility help, that is personal care.
If your loved one in Lake Worth Beach, FL is mostly independent but lonely or struggling with errands and meals, senior companionship at home fits. If they need hands-on help with bathing, dressing, or moving safely, that is hands-on senior care services. Many families combine both types of services.
Medicare may cover qualifying home health services, but it does not pay for non-medical home care like companion or personal care when that is the only care needed.
