Preferred Care at Home of South Broward

Preferred Care at Home of South Broward provides in-home care services in Hollywood, Florida and the broader Broward County area. The agency is licensed as a Florida Home Health Agency and offers personalized non-medical care built around daily life, with services ranging from a few hours each day to 24-hour in-home care assistance.

The community provides personal care addressing daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility support, and continence care. Specialized dementia and Alzheimer's care is available, with caregivers trained in cognitive engagement, behavioral management, and safe home practices. Additional services include homemaker care for meal preparation and light housekeeping, live-in care for 24-hour support, companion care for social engagement and transportation, and post-hospital discharge support through the Smooth-Transition Care program.

Caregivers are background checked and vetted through a 7-step screening process, including home health aides and certified nursing assistant professionals. The agency prioritizes caregiver matching by personality, language, and life experience, with commitment to caregiver continuity. The multilingual care team serves families in English, Spanish, French, and Creole, reflecting South Broward's diverse population where more than 52 percent of Hollywood residents speak a language other than English at home.

The agency operates a Transparency of Care portal providing families 24/7 access to real-time visit logs, caregiver notes, task completion tracking, and voice messages, allowing out-of-town family members to monitor care from anywhere. A Smooth-Transition Care program coordinates hospital discharge support to prevent readmission during the critical first weeks after discharge, including meal assistance, appointment scheduling, and healthcare provider communication.

South Broward's climate and demographics create specific care challenges the agency addresses. Caregivers provide midday check-ins and hydration support during heat advisories, and the team coordinates access protocols for seniors living in gated communities or older condos. The agency accepts Long Term Care insurance and helps families understand coverage options for home care services.
