We work around each person’s schedule and preferred style. Comfort and routine are the foundation of a day that feels familiar and dignified.

The post-hospital discharge window
What It Looks Like
Broward County’s elder-services programs target adults at risk of premature nursing home placement. Delayed in-home support after hospitalization accelerates that risk for older adults already managing illness at home.
How We Help
Our process moves quickly. Care typically begins within days of your call, giving your loved one in-home support before the discharge window closes.
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. Preferred Care at Home of South Broward serves Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Davie, Plantation, Sunrise, Cooper City, Weston, Southwest Ranches, Miramar, and the surrounding South Broward community. Our address is 4000 Hollywood Blvd, Suite 555-S, Hollywood, FL 33021. We offer a full range of in-home care services throughout South Broward, including personal care, companion care, and live-in care. Long Term Care insurance is accepted, and a free in-home consultation is available with no obligation.
Personal care is right when your parent needs hands-on help with bathing, dressing, transfers, toileting, or hygiene. Companion care covers social support and lighter daily tasks. If hygiene has declined, mobility is unsafe, or continence care is needed, personal in-home care is the right starting point. If your loved one mainly struggles with loneliness or getting to appointments, companion care may be a better fit. We help families assess the right care level during a free, no-obligation consultation.
Personal in-home care covers hands-on daily living tasks: bathing, dressing, grooming, hygiene, mobility support, safe transfers, toileting, continence care, and medication reminders. These are known as activities of daily living, or ADLs. When one or more ADLs become difficult, in-home support lets older adults stay in their own homes rather than moving to a facility. Our South Broward team provides quality personal care from one to 24 hours per day, matched to your loved one’s schedule and needs.
Care can typically begin within days of your first call to Preferred Care at Home of South Broward. When a parent is discharged from a hospital nearby, the window before potential readmission is narrow. We move quickly: our team schedules a free consultation, builds a care plan, and matches a caregiver. Families in our reviews have noted last-minute, round-the-clock in-home care arranged on short notice.
Many long-term care policies cover personal in-home care, though the actual cost you pay depends on your policy’s benefit triggers and waiting period. The Florida Long-Term Care Partnership Program allows policyholders to protect assets if they later need Medicaid. Most policies include a waiting period: the insured must qualify and pay for care for a set time before benefit money starts. We accept Long Term Care insurance; for more, visit our paying for home care resources.
Yes. Our Transparency of Care portal gives authorized family members real-time access to caregiver schedules, visit logs, task notes, and invoices from anywhere. For adult children managing a parent’s care from out of state, communication is one of the hardest parts.
