Peace of mind on your Loxahatchee acreage. That’s what families find with Preferred Care at Home, where affordable, reliable in-home care helps your loved ones stay comfortable in familiar surroundings.
For over 40 years, Preferred Care at Home has helped seniors age gracefully at home with dignity and independence. Our family-owned approach serves Loxahatchee, West Palm Beach, and throughout Palm Beach County with compassionate care that families trust.
What sets us apart is our commitment to caregiver consistency and affordability. We carefully match caregivers by personality, not just availability, reducing the frustrating turnover other home care agencies experience. Our Transparency Room technology lets you monitor care from anywhere, giving you peace of mind whether you’re across town or across the country.
Companion care provides emotional support and social engagement for seniors who feel isolated on rural Loxahatchee properties. Loneliness can settle in when days feel empty and family visits are infrequent, especially on acreage estates far from neighbors.
Our caregivers offer genuine connection through conversation, activities, and companionship that makes each day brighter. We help with errands, transportation to appointments, and light activity participation so your loved one stays engaged with life.
When daily tasks like bathing and dressing become challenging, our personal care services help seniors maintain dignity while getting the assistance they need. Florida’s heat and humidity make personal hygiene especially important for older adults’ health and comfort.
We provide hands-on help customized to each person’s specific needs, from verbal reminders to comprehensive physical assistance. Services include bathing, grooming, dressing, mobility support, toileting, and medication reminders available from 1 hour to 24 hours daily.
Large Loxahatchee properties require upkeep that becomes overwhelming for elderly residents. Our homemaker care handles household tasks so your loved one can focus on enjoying their home, not maintaining it.
We assist with light housekeeping, meal preparation, grocery shopping, laundry, and errands. This support helps seniors stay safe and comfortable in clean, organized spaces without the physical strain of managing everything alone.
For families wanting continuous supervision, our live-in care provides around-the-clock presence at surprisingly affordable rates. This cost-effective option delivers peace of mind that someone’s always there, especially important on isolated acreage properties.
Caregivers are matched by personality and experience to ensure compatible, long-term relationships. Your loved one receives consistent personal care, overnight assistance, emergency response availability, and all-inclusive household support in the security and privacy of their own home.
Specialized dementia and Alzheimer’s care helps families navigate the challenges of memory loss with trained caregivers who understand cognitive decline. Our team provides safety monitoring, behavioral management, and cognitive engagement activities.
We help prevent wandering on large properties, manage confusion episodes, and provide family education about what to expect. Caregivers receive specialized training to deliver patient, compassionate support that maintains your loved one’s dignity.
Hospital discharge without proper support leads to dangerous readmissions. Our transition care combines medication reminders, appointment coordination, and recovery monitoring to prevent complications after elderly people return home from hospitalization.
We schedule and transport to doctor appointments, ensure medications are taken correctly, monitor chronic illness management, and communicate with healthcare providers. This evidence-based approach significantly reduces hospital readmission rates.
Our hospice and end-of-life care allows seniors to remain comfortable and dignified at home during life’s final chapter. Compassionate caregivers provide comfort care, family respite support, and emotional support for both patients and families.
We coordinate with hospice providers, offer 24-hour availability, and help families navigate this difficult time with grace. Your loved one stays in familiar surroundings, surrounded by family and memories.

Living in Loxahatchee brings unique considerations for elderly care. Florida’s climate, rural properties, and geographic isolation create specific challenges that require local understanding and practical solutions.

We Serve:
Home care services in Loxahatchee typically range from $25 to $33 per hour, depending on the level of care needed. Basic companion care starts at the lower end, while skilled nursing services cost more. We offer free consultations to provide transparent pricing based on your specific situation. Live-in care often proves more cost-effective than hourly rates for families needing continuous supervision.
We’ve been family-owned since 1984, providing over 40 years of proven experience. Our key advantages include:
• 7-step screening process ensuring only qualified, trustworthy caregivers • Personality matching that reduces turnover and builds lasting relationships
• Transparency Room technology for remote monitoring and peace of mind • Affordability as a core mission, not just marketing
Unlike corporate chains, our founders still actively mentor franchise owners and maintain hands-on involvement.
For most families needing part-time support, home care costs significantly less than assisted living facilities, which average $4,500 to $6,000 monthly in Florida. You only pay for the hours you need, from as little as 1 hour daily. Even 20 hours weekly of home care services costs around $2,000 monthly. Live-in care provides 24-hour supervision for less than most facilities charge.
We typically begin services within 2 to 5 days of your initial consultation. Urgent situations like hospital discharge can start within 24 to 48 hours when needed. The timeline depends on scheduling your in-home assessment, completing caregiver matching, and ensuring everyone feels comfortable. We work efficiently without rushing the important step of finding the right personality fit.
Watch for signs like difficulty with bathing, forgetting medications, unopened mail piling up, or weight loss from poor nutrition. If your parent struggles with daily tasks, appears lonely or isolated, or you’re worried about safety on their acreage property, it’s time to consider support. Hospital discharge, a fall, or recent diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease are clear indicators that assistance would help.
We guarantee satisfaction through our commitment to caregiver consistency and quality. If you’re ever unhappy with a caregiver, we’ll make changes immediately at no additional cost. Our Transparency Room portal provides ongoing monitoring, and our team conducts regular check-ins to ensure care quality remains high. We adjust care plans as needs change without contracts locking you in.
Certified nursing assistants (CNAs) and home health aides deliver hands-on personal care including bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting assistance, and mobility support. They monitor vital signs, help with exercises, manage medication reminders, and assist with meal preparation.
We match caregivers by personality and life experience, not just availability, creating compatible relationships that last. Our caregivers receive competitive compensation and flexible schedules, reducing the industry’s typical 77% annual turnover rate. Families get consistent support from the same trusted person rather than constantly adjusting to new faces. This continuity especially benefits seniors with dementia who struggle with change.
Be alert if caregivers discuss finances excessively, request personal information, or suggest bypassing the agency for private payment. Watch for unexplained changes to bank accounts, missing valuables, or pressure to change legal documents. Our 7-step screening process includes thorough background checks, and our Transparency Room portal lets you monitor all activities. We never allow caregivers to handle clients’ finances.
Yes, we provide specialized care for chronic conditions including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke recovery. Our caregivers receive training specific to these conditions and understand mobility challenges, cognitive changes, and medication management requirements. We coordinate with your healthcare team to ensure the individualized plan addresses all medical needs while supporting quality of life at home.
