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.
Absolutely. We’ve put together a comprehensive directory of reputable organizations, benefits programs, and community services related to senior home care, safety, transportation, and financial support. You can find everything on our senior resource links page, designed to help families like yours navigate the many options available.
Home care is often private pay, however, many long-term care (LTC) insurance policies and VA benefits can help cover our services. In addition, many communities offer helpful programs such as meal delivery, transportation assistance, home safety checks, and respite care for family caregivers. These resources can provide valuable support and help reduce out-of-pocket costs. For step-by-step guidance on finding local, state, and nonprofit programs that can help, visit our guide on how to find free services.
At Prefer Home, our safety commitment starts with our rigorous 7-Step Screening Process to ensure each caregiver is truly trusted and qualified. Every caregiver passes criminal background checks, reference checks, and verification of relevant training and experience. We don’t stop there. Ongoing education in senior care, dementia support, and safety protocols keeps our team sharp. Regular supervision and quality assurance visits make sure the care your loved one receives always meets our high standards.
Yes. Dementia care services are among our core specialties. Our caregivers receive specialized training in understanding Alzheimer’s and dementia, including communication techniques, behavioral management, and creating structured routines that reduce confusion and anxiety. We recognize that cognitive decline presents unique challenges for both clients and families, so we provide compassionate support and ongoing education to help everyone feel comfortable and prepared. Our comprehensive approach addresses not just daily tasks but emotional well-being and safety.
Life is never static, especially for older adults managing health conditions or cognitive decline. That’s why we build flexibility into every care plan from the start. Your dedicated team maintains regular contact with your family to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed. Whether your loved one needs additional hours, different types of assistance, or specialized Alzheimer’s care, we adapt quickly. Our consistent team approach means changes happen smoothly, with caregivers who already know and understand your loved one’s preferences and routines.
We understand that when families reach out for in-home senior care, they often need help quickly—whether transitioning from hospital to home, responding to a sudden change in health, or needing immediate respite for family caregivers. In many cases throughout Estero, we can arrange care within 24-48 hours of your initial consultation. We work efficiently without cutting corners on our matching process or quality standards, ensuring your loved one receives both prompt support and the right caregiver for their individual needs.
