Overview of Preferred Care at Home

Forty-two years in business, and Preferred Care at Home has spent all of it delivering care where clients actually live. Based at 20801 Biscayne Blvd in Miami, the agency serves South Miami and the surrounding area, covering both home care and skilled nursing.

The service list runs wide: companion care, homemaker care, personal care, dementia and Alzheimer’s care, transition care, live-in care, and skilled care. That range matters because client needs rarely stay fixed. A family might start with companionship and homemaker support and later need transition care or dementia-specific assistance, all without switching providers. Caregivers are chosen based on experience, a detail worth knowing for families comparing agencies.

The office itself lands a Walk Score of 82, very walkable, though that number describes the office more than it describes the actual work, which happens inside clients’ homes throughout the South Miami area.

Preferred Care at Home fits families looking for a long-established South Florida home care agency with a service range that can grow alongside a client’s changing needs, from basic companionship through dementia and Alzheimer’s-specific care.
