Since 1984, Preferred Care at Home has been a beacon of hope for families seeking reliable and affordable care. It all started with a vision to offer a quality of service that would allow seniors to age in place with dignity and grace. Recognizing the need for compassionate caregivers who could provide assistance without breaking the bank, our founders established the first agency with a commitment to excellence that continues to drive us today.
In 2007, recognizing that the need for quality senior care was not limited to one community, Preferred Care at Home began its nationwide expansion. This growth allowed us to bring our unique philosophy of care to families across the country. By partnering with like-minded individuals who shared our passion for service, we were able to extend our reach while maintaining the personal touch that defined our very first agency.
Today, Preferred Care at Home stands as a testament to the enduring power of compassionate care. We remain dedicated to our founding principles, constantly innovating to meet the evolving needs of our clients. As we look to the future, our mission remains unchanged: to improve the quality of life for those we serve, safeguarding their independence and dignity in the home they love.
“For many older people, home is everything. It’s a window to the past, a safe haven for the present and the legacy they long to leave for the next generation.
Since 1984, the husband-and-wife founders of Preferred Care at Home have been helping seniors stay in their homes, happily and safely. Now a nationally franchised but still family-run business, Preferred Care at Home offers high-quality in-home care at affordable rates.”
Geoffrey and Christine de Sousa have always believed that the people who shape a community deserve to be cared for within it. Growing up with strong family ties and an appreciation for the role that home plays in a person’s sense of self, they each carried that value into their professional lives. When the opportunity arose to bring Preferred Care at Home to South Broward, it was less a business decision than a natural extension of who they are.
South Broward is a community of remarkable diversity, and that matters to Geoffrey and Christine. Their team serves families in English, Spanish, French, and Creole, because real care means meeting people where they are. Their caregivers (including CNA and HHA professionals, as well as newly certified caregivers they personally train) are selected for both skill and character. As Geoffrey and Christine often say, they are humbled to serve their community and their loved ones, and that humility shows in every interaction their team has with the families who trust them.
Preferred Care at Home has continued this tradition by only referring the most reliable, compassionate, experienced and affordable caregivers to client’s homes or care facilities.
Yes. The Broward County Area Agency on Aging connects families with local resources, including meal delivery programs, transportation assistance, and senior center programming. Explore free services for seniors to discover what may be available in your community. These programs can work alongside the care we provide.
We only refer caregivers with experience. Every caregiver goes through our rigorous 7-step screening process that includes background checks, reference verification, skills assessment, and personality evaluation. We do not place anyone in your loved one’s home that we would not trust in our own. Our commitment to quality starts before the first day of care.
