I am Stacy Adams, Owner and Administrative Manager for Preferred Care at Home of Cape Coral & Fort Myers. I became involved with the company when my mother suffered a debilitating fall and wanted to recover at home. I was advised at that time that the current agencies available to her only covered 30 miles out from her rehabilitation unit–she resides 31 miles out. Finding a caregiver who would accept her dog as well, well, that was another matter. It was then I recognized the greater need for senior home care agencies.
As a previous EMT/ Emergency Medical and Police Dispatcher in my earlier career, I knew the importance of having quality and consistent in-home care. Discharging patients too soon without a support system was a recipe for disaster. For my mother, her home is everything, she did not want to leave it for a facility. I knew she would recover faster if she was in her own home. I did not live near her at the time of her fall and I was at a loss as to where to begin to fulfill her wishes. It was Prefered Care at Home that helped me head in the right direction.
It was this experience that opened my eyes to the need for quality care and my desire to be a part of the solution. I want to give families options for their senior loved one to stay in the home they love (and with their fur babies if they had them!). I want to offer reliable, compassionate, and affordable care to the elderly so they can live their lives with dignity and independence. I want to provide options for those who desperately need more options. These are the reasons I left my marketing management position in the hospitality industry to start my journey with Preferred Care at Home of Cape Coral & Fort Myers. Life has a lot of bumps in the road, my mission is to help smooth out some of those bumps.
Hello, I am Robert Adams Owner and Sales Administrator with Preferred Care at Home of Cape Coral and Fort Myers. I am a US Navy Persian Gulf War Veteran. My career started helping folks with diet and exercise in the Health Club Industry in California in 1989. I then worked as a Sales Executive in the automotive industry.
Post losing my best man from my wedding at age 39, my sister to a heart attack at age of 38 , and my mother to cancer, I began looking for a change of scenery. Life was short and meant to be lived to the fullest. I left for a job in the hospitality industry in St Thomas, Virgin Islands where I could enjoy the beauty and the water. I won top accolades for my sales and customer service consistently. I returned stateside just prior to two category 5 hurricanes hitting the island to assist my wife with her mother. She had suffered a debilitating fall and needed care. This was an eye-opening moment for our family.
Care providers were few and far and there was a real need to help people. My wife and I decided to relocate near her father in Fort Myers so we could help fill a need we found in the community. We had previous experience with Preferred Care through during her mother’s recovery and would have been lost without them. We decided to join the Preferred Care at Home Family. We look forward to servicing the community and offering quality affordable care while safeguarding our client’s independence and dignity.

Qualified caregivers go through our 7-step screening process and receive ongoing training at our Red Cross Learning Center. Every caregiver completes background checks, reference verification, skills assessment, and personality profiling before assignment. Training includes person-centered dementia care, end-of-life sensitivity, and hands-on personal care techniques. We match caregivers by personality to your loved one, not just by schedule availability. This approach provides peace of mind for families and compassionate care for seniors.
Yes, when caregivers are trained in dementia-specific techniques and routine is preserved. Specialized care protects independence and peace of mind for the entire family. Dementia behaviors get worse with disruption, and a facility move is one of the biggest disruptions there is. Our Positive Approach to Care trainer and coach lead the team in person-centered techniques that protect routine, reduce agitation, and support family caregivers. Many families delay or avoid a memory-care facility move entirely with the right home support. The benefits of staying home include familiar surroundings, consistent routines, and emotional support from caregivers who know your loved one.
Transition Care provides immediate support during the critical first days and weeks after hospital discharge. Your caregiver will meet you at the hospital or nursing home and guide you through the transition process. After discharge, your caregiver will meet with you regularly through phone calls or visits and make sure you have what you need. For example, your caregiver may schedule transportation to follow-up appointments, remind you about prescriptions and medication regimens, and make sure your home is safe. This reduces readmission risk for patients recovering from surgery or managing chronic illness.
Call our local office. We come to your home for a free assessment, then match a caregiver by personality. The process starts with a phone call to (855) 424-5683 or an email to love@preferhome.com. We schedule a free in-home consultation, build a care plan around your loved one’s routine, and match a caregiver by personality, not just schedule. Most families can have care started within days of the assessment.
