When someone you love is living with Alzheimer’s disease, the weight of worry can feel overwhelming. You want them safe, comfortable, and cared for, but you also want them to stay home, where memories live, and dignity remains. For over 40 years, we’ve helped families provide compassionate Alzheimer’s home care services that honor independence while delivering specialized support.
Preferred Care at Home has served South Florida communities since 1984. We serve Miami Beach, North Miami Beach, and surrounding areas with the same commitment that’s made us a trusted name in senior care across 18 states. Our caregivers undergo a rigorous screening process that includes background checks and specialized training in memory care.
We focus on personality matching and caregiver consistency. We don’t just send whoever’s available. Our proprietary Transparency Room portal gives family members real-time access to care notes, schedules, and updates, offering peace of mind even when you can’t be there in person. Plus, our Alzheimer’s home care remains affordable, so your loved one can stay in the comfort of their own home.
Memory loss changes everything, not just for the person living with Alzheimer’s disease, but for the entire family. Our dementia care services in Miami Beach focus on creating routines that feel safe and familiar, using memory aids and gentle reminders that preserve dignity. We help with daily activities while encouraging as much independence as possible.
Your dedicated caregiver works closely with family members and your parent’s doctor to understand what helps your loved one feel most comfortable. We focus on what they can still do, celebrating small victories and building on remaining strengths rather than emphasizing limitations.
Alzheimer’s disease can bring frustration, agitation, and moments that feel impossible to navigate. Our specially trained caregivers understand that challenging behaviors aren’t personal. They’re symptoms of the disease. We use proven techniques to redirect, calm, and comfort, always treating your loved one with respect and compassion.
We focus on identifying triggers before problems escalate, be it overstimulation, physical discomfort, or environmental factors unique to Miami Beach’s climate. Our caring person approach means we’re looking for the need behind the behavior, not just managing the symptom.
As Alzheimer’s disease advances, the risk of wandering, falls, and accidents increases. Our caregivers provide constant supervision without making your loved one feel trapped or watched. We modify the home environment to reduce hazards, ensure proper lighting, and stay alert to changes in mobility or balance that could signal health issues.
In Miami Beach’s warm climate, we’re especially mindful of dehydration risks and the temptation to wander outdoors. Your caregiver maintains a safe, familiar environment while allowing freedom of movement within secure boundaries.
Just because someone has Alzheimer’s doesn’t mean life stops being meaningful. Our caregivers bring activities that stimulate memory, encourage social interaction, and create moments of joy. We tailor engagement to your loved one’s history, whether that’s music they love, hobbies they enjoyed, or simple pleasures like walking on the beach or sitting in the garden.
These aren’t generic activities from a checklist. Your dedicated caregiver learns what brings comfort and happiness to your family member, adapting as needs change. Physical health matters too, so we incorporate gentle movement and mobility assistance throughout the day.
Our experienced caregivers arrive prepared. Every caregiver receives ongoing training in the latest Alzheimer’s care techniques, communication strategies, and understanding of how dementia affects daily living. This specialized care makes the difference between someone who provides basic assistance and someone who truly understands the disease.
We also train our office staff to support families through this journey, answering questions and connecting you with resources in Miami FL. Good communication skills matter, and our team knows how to listen to both the person with Alzheimer’s and their family members.
Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s is physically demanding and emotionally exhausting. We provide education and support to family caregivers, helping you understand what to expect at each stage and how to communicate effectively. We’re here to answer phone calls at any hour, provide respite when you need rest, and offer guidance when difficult decisions arise.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Our team becomes an extension of your family, offering the support system you need while ensuring your loved one receives the highest quality personalized care in their own home.

Costs vary based on the level of specialized care needed, caregiver experience, and whether you need services at advanced stages of the disease. We offer free consultations and transparent pricing with no hidden fees, helping families avoid the $4,000- $ 8,000 monthly costs of assisted living facilities while keeping loved ones at hom
We’ve specialized in dementia and Alzheimer’s care since 1984. That’s over 40 years of real experience, not just marketing claims. Our 7-step screening process ensures every caregiver has specialized training in memory care, and we guarantee caregiver consistency so your loved one sees the same caring person, not a revolving door of strangers. Our proprietary Transparency Room portal gives family members 24/7 access to care notes and updates, and our affordability focus means quality care doesn’t require draining life savings.
Most elderly people with Alzheimer’s disease thrive better in their own homes, surrounded by familiar settings and routines that reduce confusion and anxiety. Nursing homes and assisted living facilities can feel institutional and disorienting, often accelerating cognitive decline. In-home care allows your loved one to remain independent as long as possible, maintain connections with friends and community, and receive one-on-one attention from a dedicated caregiver. It’s also typically more affordable than facility care while providing personalized support that adapts to changing needs.
We can typically begin care within 3-5 days of your initial consultation, sometimes sooner for urgent situations. The process includes an in-home assessment, care plan development, and careful caregiver matching. We won’t rush the personality fit just to start quickly. For families planning ahead, we recommend reaching out when you first notice concerning changes rather than waiting for a crisis, giving us time to ensure the perfect match between caregiver and client.
If you’re noticing memory loss that disrupts daily living, it’s worth getting an assessment. Other signs include increased agitation or personality changes, wandering behavior, safety concerns like leaving the stove on, or your own exhaustion from trying to provide care alone. Even mild symptoms benefit from early intervention, establishing routines and relationships before the disease progresses to more advanced stages.
We guarantee caregiver consistency because we understand how crucial familiar faces are for Alzheimer’s patients. You’ll have the same dedicated caregiver for all scheduled visits, building trust and understanding over time. Unlike agencies that send whoever’s available that day, we carefully match based on personality and create backup plans with caregivers who already know your loved one. Frequent changes in caregivers can be deeply distressing for someone with memory loss, and we’re committed to preventing that.
Yes. Our experienced caregivers are trained to provide care throughout all stages of Alzheimer’s disease, from early memory loss through advanced stages requiring total assistance with daily activities. We adapt our approach as needs change, adding more intensive support for mobility assistance, feeding help, and round-the-clock supervision when needed. Our end-of-life care services also coordinate with hospice providers when families reach that difficult stage, ensuring comfort and dignity through the final chapter.
Our non-medical services include medication reminders to ensure your loved one takes the right medications at the right times. While we cannot administer injections or perform medical tasks, our caregivers provide the supervision and gentle prompting that prevent missed doses or dangerous mistakes. We document all medication reminders in our system and alert family members to any concerning patterns. For more complex medical needs, we can coordinate with your doctor or arrange for skilled care services through licensed nurses.
Resistance to care is common with Alzheimer’s disease. The person often doesn’t recognize their own limitations or feels their independence is threatened. We introduce caregivers gradually, often starting with Companion and Homemaker Care or light housekeeping rather than “personal care,” which can feel threatening. Our experienced team knows how to build trust naturally, often becoming trusted friends before your loved one even realizes they’re receiving care. We work closely with family members to find approaches that honor dignity while ensuring safety.
We maintain backup caregivers who are already familiar with your loved one and their routine, preventing the confusion and distress of meeting complete strangers. When your dedicated caregiver needs time off, we arrange coverage well in advance, introducing the backup caregiver during regular visits so your parent gets comfortable with them. Our office staff coordinates all scheduling and ensures continuity of care, so you’re never left scrambling or wondering who will be showing up. This is part of the support system that sets us apart from companies that treat caregivers and clients as interchangeable.
