Preferred Care at Home of South Broward is locally owned and operated by Geoffrey and Christine de Sousa at 4000 Hollywood Blvd, Suite 555-S, Hollywood, FL 33021.

We match every caregiver to each client by personality, life experience, and work history, not just by availability. Every caregiver is background checked through our rigorous 7-step screening process. Our holistic approach also includes care delivered in English, Spanish, French, and Creole, and we accept Long Term Care insurance.
Memory loss changes daily life for the whole family, and specialized memory care at home can make the difference between confusion and calm. Our caregivers keep your loved one in a familiar environment with consistent, compassionate support, even as a condition progresses and new challenges emerge.
Caregivers provide cognitive stimulation, support safe daily routines, and monitor for dangerous situations throughout each visit. We assist with medication reminders, meal preparation, and personal hygiene, adapting our personalized approach as unique needs change over time.
Family caregivers carry a weight that isn’t always visible. Our companion care provides social interaction, emotional support, and a listening ear for your loved one, while giving you real time away to manage other responsibilities or simply rest.
Companions engage clients with conversation, games, reading, and community outings, supporting well-being and reducing isolation day by day. For families in Pembroke Pines, Davie, or Cooper City, companion care also serves as flexible respite care, available for a few hours or throughout the full day.
As dementia progresses, daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and grooming become harder to manage alone. Our personal care services support daily living with gentle, hands-on help designed around each person’s routine, comfort, and dignity.
Caregivers assist with mobility and transfers, continence care, and personal hygiene, always working to protect your loved one’s quality of life and independence. Services are available from a few hours per day up to around-the-clock care, seven days a week.
When dementia creates safety risks overnight or during unpredictable moments, round-the-clock support becomes essential. Our live-in care places a familiar home caregiver in your loved one’s own home 24 hours a day, providing supervision, comfort, and continuity.
We also offer shift-based 24-hour care for clients who need someone awake and attentive at all times. Either way, the same caregiver stays with your loved one as long as the relationship is working, empowering seniors to live safely at home for as long as possible.
A clean, organized home supports safety and well-being for someone living with dementia. Our homemaker care handles light housekeeping, meal preparation, grocery shopping, and laundry so the household keeps running without adding more to your family’s load.
Homemaker care also works as a gentle entry point for older adults who are not yet ready for personal care. It’s practical support that makes life easier without feeling intrusive, and it pairs naturally with companion or personal care services as needs grow.

How We Help
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.
We match caregivers by personality, life experience, and work history, building a consistent relationship that reduces agitation and builds real trust over time. Caregiver matching is one of the most important steps we take. We look at communication style, shared interests, patience, and relevant experience when pairing a professional caregiver with a dementia patient. That same-caregiver continuity creates familiarity and calm day after day. If the fit ever isn’t right, Preferred Care at Home will find a replacement promptly.
Preferred Care at Home’s Transparency of Care portal gives authorized family members real-time access to visit logs, caregiver notes, schedules, and invoices from any device. You don’t have to be in Hollywood to know what’s happening at home. Through our Transparency of Care portal, family members track completed tasks, read caregiver updates, and receive visit confirmations as they happen. That peace of mind knowing your senior loved one is safe matters as much to us as it does to you. Our office staff is also reachable by phone whenever you need to talk directly with someone on our team.
Yes. We provide dementia in-home care services in English, Spanish, French, and Creole, reflecting the diverse communities we serve across South Broward. South Broward is home to a large number of Spanish-speaking, French-speaking, and Haitian Creole-speaking families. Care feels different when it’s delivered in your family’s language. Our caregivers communicate naturally in the language your loved one is most comfortable with, reducing confusion, building trust, and making the entire experience more effective for everyone involved.
If daily safety, missed medications, or family caregiver exhaustion have become serious concerns, it is likely time to explore in-home dementia care before the situation becomes a crisis. Most families wait longer than they should. Common signs include unsafe cooking, confusion about familiar daily routines, withdrawal from social interaction, and family members reaching the point of burnout. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Broward County has an estimated 47,800 residents living with Alzheimer’s disease, representing 13.9% of the local 65-and-older population. Early support leads to better outcomes for everyone. Contact us for a complimentary consultation in Hollywood, FL.
