Our Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Services

Dementia and Alzheimer's Care

Alzheimer’s home care services for memory loss and cognitive decline keep your loved one in familiar surroundings. In Broward County, an estimated 47,800 older adults live with Alzheimer’s disease, making in home care services a real community need.

Our caregivers, including CNA and HHA professionals, provide specialized care: cognitive stimulation, memory enhancement, safety monitoring, and personalized daily routines. Flexible scheduling means care can begin with a few hours and scale to full days as the situation changes.

Highlights:

Live-in and 24-Hour Care

When memory loss reaches a point where your loved one needs continuous support, live-in care offers around-the-clock presence in the comfort of their own home. Consistent caregivers reduce confusion for Alzheimer’s patients who depend on routine and familiar faces.

Caregivers are matched by personality, life experience, and work history, not just availability. We also offer shift-based 24-hour supervision, with someone awake and present at all times when clock care is required.

Highlights:

Personal Care

Personal care supports the daily living tasks that Alzheimer’s disease makes harder over time: bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility assistance. Services are available from a few hours to 24 hours per day, based on your loved one’s unique needs.

Every personalized care plan is built around what your loved one actually needs. We provide medication reminders, hygiene assistance, and continence care, with each plan adjusting as needs evolve.

Companion Care

Companion care addresses one of the hardest parts of Alzheimer’s: the isolation that sets in when social engagement fades. We provide conversation, activities, and outings tailored to your loved one’s abilities and interests.

Companion care also gives family caregivers a needed break. That’s respite built into a service that keeps your senior loved one connected, stimulated, and cared for while you rest and recharge.

Common Alzheimer's Care Challenges in Hollywood

Alzheimer’s care in South Broward comes with local challenges that most providers rarely address. We understand what families here actually face.
Challenge
What It Looks Like

How We Help

Hurricane Season Disruption

What It Looks Like

Power outages and evacuations break dementia routines, causing confusion and agitation for Alzheimer’s patients who depend on structure and stability.

How We Help

We maintain care continuity before, during, and after storms, following Broward County emergency guidance to support elderly residents at risk.

Challenge

Home Safety for Cognitive Decline

What It Looks Like

As Alzheimer’s progresses, familiar spaces develop new hazards: unlocked doors, stove risks, fall-prone pathways, and disorienting changes in the environment.

How We Help

Caregivers monitor the home daily and flag safety concerns to family members in real time through our Transparency of Care portal.

Challenge

Understanding Non-Medical Care Scope

What It Looks Like

Florida distinguishes between non-medical support and clinical care. Families sometimes expect services that non-medical home care agencies are not licensed to provide.

How We Help

We explain what we can and cannot do during the free, no-obligation consultation, and connect families with the right resources for remaining needs.

Challenge

Family Caregiver Burnout

What It Looks Like

Florida Alzheimer’s caregivers provide 1.4 billion unpaid care hours annually; 66.4% report chronic illnesses and 28.6% report depression (Alzheimer’s Association, 2025).

How We Help

Live-in care, hourly companion care, and personal care give family caregivers real relief while your loved one remains safely at home.

Local Services Throughout the South Broward

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long has Preferred Care at Home served South Broward families?
Preferred Care at Home has served families since 1984, with an active, locally owned South Broward presence today. The national franchise was founded in 1984 by registered nurses and has grown to locations across 18 states. The South Broward location, owned by Geoffrey and Christine de Sousa, brings that tradition to Hollywood with senior home care that is locally owned, multilingual, and committed to a wonderful experience for every family.

It depends on current needs, and our team builds the best care plan for your loved one during a free, no-obligation consultation. We assess your loved one’s current abilities, safety risks, and needed support during a free, no-obligation consultation, then build personalized care plans that adjust as the situation evolves. Services range from a few hours of in-home care daily to full-time live-in support. For cost guidance, visit our paying for home care resource.

Home care fits when familiar surroundings still support stability; memory care becomes the better choice once 24-hour secured supervision is necessary. A national survey by Caring.com found 73% of dementia caregivers report care at home, but nearly 75% of those who chose a facility cited home safety concerns as the deciding factor (Caring.com, 2025).

In-home care with Transparency of Care

It includes cognitive stimulation, safety monitoring, personal care, and companion visits within a non medical services framework. Our Alzheimer’s care covers memory activities, hygiene reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and medication reminders. Caregivers, including CNA and HHA professionals, are trained to provide exceptional care and dementia-specific support. These are non medical services focused on assisting with daily tasks so every person can live safely at home with quality of life and dignity.

These are common realities of Alzheimer’s disease, and our caregivers are trained to respond with calm, consistent, and patient support. Wandering, nighttime confusion, and refusal of help are among the most stressful situations family caregivers face, whether assisting a mother, father, or spouse. Our team uses calm communication, familiar routines, and structured engagement to provide needed support throughout the day. If behaviors escalate beyond what non-medical care can safely manage, we discuss whether 24-hour live-in care better fits the situation.

Yes. Our South Broward team provides care in English, Spanish, French, and Creole. Broward County is one of Florida’s most linguistically diverse counties, with over 43% of residents speaking a language other than English at home (U.S. Census, 2024). We serve South Broward families in all four languages so your loved one can communicate naturally and comfortably with their caregiver.

Our Transparency of Care portal gives out-of-town family members real-time access to schedules, caregiver notes, and visit updates. Through our Transparency of Care portal, authorized family members see caregiver schedules, visit confirmations, task completion, caregiver notes, and voice messages. You can also pay invoices online. For Alzheimer’s families managing care from another city or state, it’s one of the most valuable tools we provide.

We are committed to caregiver continuity because consistency matters most for Alzheimer’s patients who depend on routine and familiar faces. Preferred Care at Home matches your loved one with a dedicated caregiver by personality, life experience, and care needs. We maintain that match as long as you are satisfied, and if a change is needed, we find a replacement promptly. For a person with Alzheimer’s disease, the highest quality continuity of care is a commitment, not a preference.
