Your family in Daytona Beach deserves homemaker care that keeps your loved one’s home safe, comfortable, and cared for. Our mission is to provide home care that helps seniors throughout Volusia County stay in the house they love. We handle the daily needs of a home so they never pile up, and we work to improve daily life along the way.
We’ve been providing home care services since 1984. Our Coastal Volusia office, a home care company serving Daytona Beach, FL and the surrounding area, is owned and operated by Doug and Suzette Gondera.
Suzette brings more than 40 years of medical experience as a registered nurse. That background shapes how our caregivers assist with daily needs in the home.
We match caregivers to clients by personality, not just availability. The right fit walks through your mother or father’s door, not just whoever is next on a list. Consistency matters to us.
Families throughout Volusia County get real-time updates through our Transparency Room, so you can see how your loved one is doing.
Our office sits on Beach Street, Suite 20-E, in Daytona Beach, FL, right in the community we serve. In reviews and conversations, families have told us they were impressed with how attentive and helpful our caregivers were from the first visit. That made them happy they called.
When you call with a request, you reach people who already know the coastal neighborhoods and inland towns of Volusia County.
When cooking becomes difficult, missed meals and poor nutrition often follow. Our caregivers plan and prepare meals your loved one will actually enjoy, working around any dietary concerns or doctor’s guidance.
A cluttered house can quietly become unsafe, especially for someone with mobility concerns. Our caregivers keep the home tidy, organized, and easier to move through, so your family member can rest easy.
Laundry piles up fast, and clean linens matter more than most people realize for comfort and hygiene. We handle washing, folding, and bed changes so this daily task is one less expectation on your loved one’s plate.
Driving to the store or the pharmacy becomes a burden as mobility changes. Our caregivers run errands and handle grocery shopping, so your mom or dad’s kitchen stays stocked with what they actually need.
Beyond chores, homemaker care brings companionship into the house. Our caregivers are patient, friendly people who notice when something feels off. That could be a new concern with mobility, or simply a quiet night that felt lonelier than usual.

Coastal living along Volusia County brings its own set of challenges for elderly people and the families who love them.
Challenge
What It Looks Like
How We Help
Hurricane season prep
What It Looks Like
Storm shutters, supplies, and cleanup add heavy chores to an already full house, especially for a senior living alone.
How We Help
Our caregivers help with storm-season tasks and household organization so your loved one’s home stays ready and safe.
Challenge
Seasonal home turnover
What It Looks Like
Snowbird neighbors and part-time residents mean routines and support networks shift twice a year along the coast.
How We Help
Consistent homemaker care gives your family member steady help that does not disappear when neighbors head north.
Challenge
Older, established houses
What It Looks Like
Many homes near Daytona Beach and the coast are older, with layouts that make chores and mobility harder over time.
How We Help
We adapt housekeeping, laundry, and errands to fit the home, keeping daily tasks manageable and safe.
Challenge
Traffic on A1A and Beach Street
What It Looks Like
Tourist season traffic can turn a quick errand into a stressful drive for family members trying to help from a distance.
How We Help
Our caregivers handle grocery runs and errands locally, so your brother, sister, or spouse is not stuck in traffic.
Challenge
Caregiver burnout in the family
What It Looks Like
One adult child or spouse ends up doing all the cooking, cleaning, and driving until exhaustion sets in.
How We Help
Homemaker care gives family caregivers real relief, with flexible hours built around your household’s needs.
Challenge
Isolation after loss
What It Looks Like
Losing a husband or wife often means losing the person who handled the house, leaving daily needs unmet.
How We Help
Our caregivers step in with both practical help and companionship, easing the transition with dignity.
Driven by Passion, Committed to Compassion
When you’re trying to find someone you can truly trust to care for your loved one, you deserve more than a name on a website. You deserve someone who picks up the phone, listens to your concerns, and offers real guidance.
That’s exactly why Suzette Gondera, RN, and her husband Doug opened this home care company in Daytona Beach. It isn’t some big out-of-state business, it’s a family taking care of neighbors, built around family values, not sales quotas.
Doug and Suzette live and work right here in Daytona Beach, FL. When you call, you’re not reaching a corporate call center. You’re reaching neighbors who care about getting this right for your family, and we promise to be by your side, every step of the way.
We understand the daily needs of seniors and families throughout Volusia County, from the coast to the inland communities.
We Serve:
Homemaker care covers the daily tasks that keep a house running: meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, and errands. It is different from personal care, which focuses on hands-on assistance like bathing and dressing. Many families in Daytona Beach start with homemaker care and add other services later as needs change.
We are locally owned by a registered nurse with more than 40 years of professional experience, and every caregiver is screened through our 7-step process. When you call our office, you reach Doug or Suzette directly, not a corporate business line. We match caregivers to clients based on personality and life experience, not just availability.
Most families begin receiving care within days of their first call to our office. We schedule a home visit promptly, build a care plan around your loved one’s daily needs, and match a caregiver who fits. There is no long wait list for private homemaker care through our Coastal Volusia office.
Medicare generally does not cover non-medical homemaker care, since it is considered custodial support rather than medical treatment. Families sometimes confuse this with home health, which Medicare may cover after a hospital stay for skilled services like therapy. Preferred Care at Home helps Volusia County families understand this difference so they can plan accordingly.
This is a common concern, and it usually eases with time. We often start small, framing a caregiver as a helpful presence rather than a full-time change. Many seniors warm up once they see the caregiver is patient, respectful of their independence, and genuinely there to make daily life easier.
Yes. Recovering from an illness or hospital stay often means a house falls behind on chores at the same time energy is lowest. Our caregivers step in with meals, laundry, and light housekeeping so your loved one can rest and recover at home.
Many adult children reach out to us for exactly this reason. Our Transparency Room gives you visibility into visits, notes, and updates. You will know your mother or father’s home and daily needs are being looked after, even when you cannot be there in person.
Watch for a house that feels increasingly cluttered, missed meals, or laundry that piles up. If your loved one also needs help with bathing, mobility, or medication reminders, our personal care services may be a better fit alongside homemaker support. As a senior care provider, we also offer respite care and can help you sort out the right combination during a consultation.
Call (386) 674-0046 and talk directly with our Coastal Volusia office. You do not need a plan before you call. We start with a conversation, learn about your loved one’s daily needs, and build a care plan your family can adjust as things change.
