Our 24 hour home care services provide around-the-clock supervision and companionship in the security and privacy of your own home. Your caregivers, matched to you by personality along with life and work experience, are present day and night to provide professional, reliable and compassionate care.
In addition to quality care, we also guarantee continuity. You don’t have to worry about frequent changes in caregivers—having to get acquainted time and again. Central to our live-in care option is this commitment to consistency. And at Preferred Care at Home, where we strive to make our services accessible to everyone, live-in care is more affordable than you probably imagine.
Who Is Live-in Care Best For?
You may think of live-in care as being primarily for people who are bedridden. While it is an excellent solution for them, it’s also helpful for other people who want consistent aid. For example, our 24 hour home care is great for seniors who have:
Unsteadiness or a fear of falling.
Worrying about falling can lead to inactivity, which makes your muscles atrophy, which increases your risk for a fall! With live-in care, you always have someone there just in case, so you can feel confident to be as active as you can.
Loneliness or a fear of being alone.
No one should experience that empty feeling of loneliness. The compassionate heart of a Preferred Care at Home caregiver is an ever-present comfort.
Trouble remembering medication.
“Did you take your medicine today?” If that question’s been asked too many times, you should know that live-in care can eliminate that anxiety. Our quality caregivers will remind you when to take your medicine so dosages aren’t forgotten or repeated.
Memory loss, or signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
Memory deficiencies may creep in as we age. People with Alzheimer’s do best in a familiar environment. Most need extended hours of care in order to remain healthy and safe at home.
Live-in care services are also good for seniors who:
Want to avoid a revolving door of caregivers. Change can be stressful. Continuity is at the heart of our live-in care. As long as you’re happy and well taken care of, you’ll have the same caregiver by your side every step of the way.
Want to remain independent and in control of their care.With Preferred Care at Home’s live-in care, you’re the boss. You decide when and how you want things done.
Is Live-in Care Really Right for Me?
Still wondering whether live-in care is the choice for you? Here are answers to some common questions.

2. What if I move or I already live in an assisted living community? If home is where you want to live, we can make that a reality. If you prefer to move into a facility, we can also provide any extra assistance you need. In essence, we come alongside you so home, or wherever you call home, is that safe place.
3. Will I like my caregivers? We match each caregiver to fit with your personality. We even look into life and work experience to make sure you two will get along swimmingly. A key aspect of our live-in care is quality interaction. After all, you have much to share with others. But of course, if you’re ever unhappy, we will promptly find a new person who fits your needs better.
If live-in care sounds like a good fit for you, contact us, and we’ll personally review all the details about how it works. We’ll even conduct a complimentary, no-obligation home assessment.

"I am incredibly grateful to Preferred Care at Home of South Broward and Geoff, the owner. Not only was he available, reliable, patient and timely, when we needed last minute care and short term round the clock care for my family, he was compassionate and honest. The handful of caretakers we worked with, that work with him shared those qualities and I can't say enough what a relief it was to know that my family was cared for during an emergency in the pandemic while I was so far away. It doesn't get much better than that. I feel very grateful for his help and care." - Zlata Jelenic
"I recently found myself needing short term care and transportation after a knee replacement. I cannot thank Mr. DeSousa and his team enough! On my first call with him, he assured me that his team would be able to assist, even though I didn't have all of my information ready, Dr. follow-ups, need of care, PT, etc. I could not have asked for more caring services during a difficult time! I recommend to everyone, and will definitely call back when I get my second surgery. Thank you!! :)" - Michele Angelo
"What a wonderful experience we’ve had with Preferred Care at Home! Geoff has been so helpful as we’ve navigated our loved ones needs. It gives us an incredible peace of mind!" - Lauren Kostoff
"I cannot begin to describe my gratitude and appreciation to Preferred Care at Home of South Broward and Geoff, the owner. My mother absolutely loved the two women who helped care for her during the week and on the weekends. A short while after she engaged Preferred Care at Home, my mom fell and one thing led to another, within only a few weeks she passed away. I am out-of-state and was making trips to Florida during this crisis. The support Geoff provided for my mom and for me, was above and beyond anything I might have ever expected in my wildest dreams.Geoff genuinely cares and that was made even more evident to me when the support he offered did not lessen when it became apparent my mom would not be leaving hospice for home. I am forever grateful to the women on Geoff's team who cared for my mom while she was at home and to Geoff who made one of the hardest moments in my life a bit easier to navigate. Along this difficult journey I met several angels disguised as people... one of those angels was Geoff. I cannot say enough about Preferred Care at Home of South Broward and Geoff, simply amazing." - Jaclyn Jeffrey
