Peace of mind. It’s so often an elusive dream for people with elderly parents, and for elderly people themselves. If you’re in Miami Beach and facing the challenge of caring for an aging loved one, you’re not alone. Preferred Care at Home understands that asking for help is not easy, and we want to be there for you, by your side, every step of the way with compassionate live-in home care services.
Preferred Care at Home has been helping seniors age in place with dignity and grace since 1984. With over 40 years of experience in the home care industry, we’ve built a reputation for providing reliable, compassionate, and affordable caregiving services throughout Miami Beach and the surrounding South Florida communities.
What sets us apart is our rigorous 7-step screening process and our commitment to matching caregivers by personality, not just availability. Long-term care can be costly, so we’ve focused on making quality care accessible to everyone. Our specialty has always been cost-effective live-in services, providing 24-hour peace of mind at prices more affordable than most people imagine.
24-hour live-in care provides continuous supervision and companionship in the security and privacy of your own home. In Miami Beach, where many seniors value their independence and the comfort of familiar surroundings, 24/7 care makes it possible to stay home safely. Our qualified caregivers become a trusted presence, offering peace of mind to family members who may live across the country.
We carefully match caregivers to clients based on personality, life experience, and work background. Plus, our caregivers are there for emergencies, overnight assistance, and the reassurance that someone reliable is always by your side.
Personal care services within our live-in care program address all activities of daily living with dignity and respect. Whether you need help with bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility support, or personal hygiene, our compassionate caregivers provide hands-on assistance customized to your individual needs. Maintaining personal care routines is especially important for comfort and health.
Our caregivers assist with everything from medication reminders to toileting and incontinence care. We understand that accepting help with personal care can be difficult, which is why we focus on preserving your independence while providing the support you truly need. The goal is always to help you maintain your dignity while staying comfortable and cared for at home.
All-inclusive household support means your live-in caregiver handles light housekeeping, meal preparation, grocery shopping, and laundry. For Miami Beach seniors, this comprehensive approach addresses everything from washing dishes after meals to keeping living spaces clean and organized. Our caregivers take care of the home so you can focus on enjoying life.
We provide assistance with errands, transportation to doctor appointments, and home organization that keeps your environment safe and comfortable. It’s not about checking off tasks but about creating a warm, welcoming home where you feel at ease. Our caregivers understand that a clean, well-maintained home contributes to both physical safety and emotional well-being.
Too often, with age comes loneliness. The feeling that no one cares creeps in. Our live-in caregivers provide more than just physical assistance. They offer genuine companionship and emotional support that combats isolation. In a vibrant community like Miami Beach, staying socially engaged and emotionally connected matters deeply to quality of life.
Your caregiver will engage in conversation, accompany you to appointments and events, participate in activities you enjoy, and provide the safety reassurance that comes from knowing someone is always there. For older adults who have lost spouses or whose friends and family members live far away, this constant companionship brings comfort and joy back into daily life.
We also offer specialized live-in care for clients with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, those recovering from illness or injury, and individuals requiring end-of-life care. For Miami Beach families dealing with cognitive decline, having experienced, compassionate caregivers in the home provides both practical assistance and emotional relief.
Whether you need support during hospice, help recovering from surgery, or specialized care for chronic conditions, our team matches you with caregivers who have the right expertise. We coordinate with healthcare providers, manage medication schedules, and ensure that medical needs are met while maintaining the highest standards of dignity and comfort in your own home.

Live-in care costs vary based on the level of assistance needed, caregiver qualifications, and specific services required. In Miami Beach, 24-hour live-in care typically costs significantly less than assisted living facilities or nursing homes while allowing seniors to stay in their own homes. We offer free consultations to assess your needs and provide transparent pricing tailored to your situation, ensuring quality care at affordable rates.
We’ve been helping seniors age in place since 1984—over 40 years of proven experience, not just in the industry, but with our founders still actively involved in operations today. Our 7-step screening process ensures only the most qualified caregivers join our team, and we match caregivers by personality and experience, not just availability. Plus, our innovative Transparency Room technology gives family members 24/7 access to schedules, caregiver notes, and updates for complete peace of mind.
Live-in care works best when seniors need supervision throughout the day and night, whether due to safety concerns, medication management needs, or the desire for constant companionship. It’s typically more affordable than hiring multiple caregivers for round-the-clock hourly care. Hourly care services suit those who need assistance only during specific times—perhaps just mornings or evenings. During your free consultation, we’ll assess your loved one’s needs and help you determine which approach provides the right balance of support and independence.
Most families can begin receiving care within days of the initial consultation. After we assess your needs and match you with a compatible caregiver, we coordinate schedules to start services as quickly as possible. In urgent situations—such as hospital discharge or sudden changes in health—we prioritize immediate placement. Miami Beach’s location within our established service area means we maintain a team of qualified caregivers ready to assist local families.
If you’re noticing your aging loved one struggles with daily activities like meal preparation, personal hygiene, or medication management, it’s worth getting an assessment. Warning signs include falls, missed doctor appointments, weight loss, decline in home cleanliness, or increased confusion. Many families in Miami Beach wait until a crisis happens—a fall, hospitalization, or illness—but addressing needs proactively helps maintain independence and safety. Our free consultation can help you understand what level of support would be most beneficial.
We guarantee caregiver consistency and continuity of care, working to maintain the same caregiver assignment rather than frequent changes that disrupt routines. Our Transparency Room portal provides ongoing monitoring, allowing family members to track care delivery in real-time. If you’re ever unsatisfied with services, our team addresses concerns immediately and makes adjustments to ensure your loved one receives the highest quality care. We’re committed to continuous quality monitoring and support throughout your entire care journey.
Our home health aides can assist with non-medical personal care, medication reminders, and coordination with healthcare providers. For clients requiring skilled nursing care—such as wound care, catheter management, or occupational therapy—we offer skilled care services with licensed nurses. During your consultation, we’ll assess whether your loved one’s needs require home health aides for daily living assistance or skilled nursing professionals for medical care, ensuring the right level of expertise.
We specialize in providing compassionate memory care support for clients living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Our caregivers receive specific training in dementia care, including behavioral management, safety monitoring, fall prevention, and cognitive engagement activities. In Miami Beach, where many seniors want to remain in familiar surroundings despite memory challenges, our dementia and Alzheimer’s care services help maintain dignity, safety, and quality of life at home.
Every caregiver undergoes our comprehensive 7-step screening process before joining Preferred Care at Home. This includes thorough background checks, reference verification, skills assessments, experience review, personality evaluation for client matching, and multiple interviews. We also provide ongoing training in areas like medication management, fall prevention, and specialized care techniques. This rigorous process ensures that our team in Miami Beach consists only of reliable, compassionate, and qualified caregivers you can trust.
Yes, we’re committed to consistency and caregiver continuity. One of our key differentiators is matching caregivers to clients based on personality compatibility and ensuring that same caregiver remains assigned to your loved one. With live in home care, your caregiver lives in your home during their shifts, creating a stable, familiar presence. While occasional substitutions may be necessary for caregiver time off, we minimize changes because we know that consistency matters deeply to both clients and families seeking peace of mind.
