Preferred Care at Home of Northeast Orlando has served Central Florida families since 2008. Licensed through the State of Florida Health Care Administration, we refer only professional caregivers who complete comprehensive background checks.

We set ourselves apart through our mission to leave every person we care for in a better state than when we met them. Our live-in caregivers are matched by personality and experience, not just availability.

Live-in home care costs significantly less than nursing homes ($100,375 annually in Florida) or assisted living ($48,000 annually). You receive consistent care, help with everyday tasks, and the comfort of staying in your cherished home orlando families know and love.
Too often, with age comes loneliness. Our Companion care services provide companionship services that combat isolation. We offer social interaction, personal engagement, and emotional support that keep your loved ones actively connected to life despite physical limitations.
Companion caregivers encourage community participation, plan outings to Orlando’s cultural venues, and provide the daily interaction that maintains well being. Whether it’s conversation, games, or sharing a meal together, our care givers bring warmth and genuine connection.
People with Alzheimer’s do best in familiar surroundings and need extended hours of care to live safely at home.

Live in home care in Orlando typically costs less than nursing homes ($100,375 annually for a private room in Florida) or assisted living ($48,000 annually). The exact cost depends on your home care needs, caregiver qualifications, and schedule. We provide transparent pricing during your complimentary assessment and work with long-term care insurance to help maximize benefits. Call (407) 601-3960 for personalized pricing.
We combine local ownership since 2008 with 40 years of Preferred Care at Home expertise. Key differences include Robin Wilkie-Naylor’s personal involvement and 15-year Central Florida network, our mission to leave every client in a better state, Best of Home Care Employer of Choice 2024, caregiver matching by personality, boutique service model, and Transparency Room technology. We’re committed to high quality care that meets the highest nationally recognized standards.
Live in care means one caregiver stays in your home continuously with sleep breaks at night (typically 8 hours). They’re present for emergencies but not providing active assistance overnight. 24-hour care uses rotating caregivers in shifts for continuous supervision. Live in care costs less because it uses one caregiver instead of multiple shifts while still providing exceptional care.
Care typically begins within days of your initial contact. The timeline includes initial consultation (same day or next day), home assessment (within 1-2 days), caregiver matching (1-2 days), and care start. If you have an immediate need, call (407) 601-3960 and we’ll accommodate your timeline. We’re available 7 days a week.
Common situations include recent hospitalization with complex recovery needs, fall incidents creating safety concerns, dementia progression requiring continuous supervision, medication schedules that’s overwhelming, loneliness affecting health, or family caregiver burnout. If daily tasks feel dangerous, if you worry constantly about safety, or if your loved one fears being alone, live in care provides support that restores peace of mind.
We provide ongoing monitoring and exceptional service throughout your care relationship. Our Transparency Room portal gives you real-time access to caregiver notes, schedules, and updates. Robin and our local team stay personally involved, adjusting your care plan as needs change. We guarantee caregiver consistency, responsive communication, and our commitment to leaving your loved one in a better state.
Live-in caregivers take a sleep break at night (typically 8 hours) but remain in the home for emergencies. They’re available if your loved one needs help getting to the bathroom, becomes confused, or has a medical emergency. During waking hours, they provide personal care, meal preparation, companionship, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and assistance with daily activities that maintain quality of life.
Medicare does not cover non medical care like companion services, homemaker care, or live-in supervision. However, Medicare does cover home health care services for medical care needs like physical therapy. Many Orlando families use long-term care insurance, Veterans Aid & Attendance benefits, or private pay. We’re experienced in working with insurance and happy to help you make informed decisions about payment options.
We match by personality, experience, and your unique needs, not just availability. During your assessment, we learn about your loved one’s interests, preferences, communication style, and assistance requirements. We then select care givers whose background fits naturally. You meet your caregiver before services begin to ensure compatibility for consistent care relationships.
All caregivers we refer are HHA (Home Health Aide), CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), or trained Companion Care specialists. Every caregiver completes comprehensive screening including criminal background checks and reference verification. We’re licensed through the State of Florida Health Care Administration, fully insured and bonded. Caregivers receive specialized training to provide care for specific needs including dementia support and transition assistance.
