Preferred Care at Home of Miami Beach offers non-medical in-home care services including companion care, personal care, memory care, respite care, and live-in support for seniors in Miami Beach, Florida. The locally owned agency serves seniors living alone in condos, those recovering after a hospital stay, and individuals living with dementia across Miami-Dade County.
The agency provides assistance with mobility and fall prevention for seniors in older condos and walk-ups, medication reminders and prescription tracking, meal preparation tailored to dietary needs, and transportation to appointments and community activities along Collins Avenue and nearby locations. Companion and homemaker care includes social interaction and conversation to address isolation, while respite care offers planned or short-notice relief for family caregivers.
Dementia and Alzheimer's care represents a core specialty, with caregivers trained in communication techniques, behavioral management, and creating safe, predictable home environments. For overnight concerns such as wandering or falls, the agency offers 24-hour live-in care with continuous supervision.
Caregivers are matched by personality through a 7-step screening process that includes criminal background checks, reference verification, identity verification, and personal interviews. Bilingual support is available. The agency typically places a caregiver within 72 hours of the initial call, beginning with a phone consultation and in-home assessment to develop a customized care plan.
The Miami Beach office operates as part of a family-run brand established in 1984. Local ownership means decisions remain with David Peterson, Quin Christensen, and Richard Patterson, who maintain involvement in each family's care. The agency serves North Beach, Mid-Beach, and South Beach, as well as nearby communities including Surfside, Bal Harbour, Sunny Isles Beach, and Aventura.
