Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Older adults in Hollywood receive various kinds of assistance from the programs and organizations in the following chart. Some help seniors find ways of paying for services, while others offer their services for free.
Resource | Contact | Service |

Area Agency on Aging (AAA) of Broward County | (954) 745-9779 | Broward County's AAA serves Hollywood-area seniors with food programs, home repair assistance, benefits counseling and other help navigating services for older adults.

Florida Alliance for Assistive Services & Technology (FAAST) | (305) 243-5706 | This nonprofit organization makes mobility, safety, communication and other assistive devices available to all Florida residents through no-cost short-term loans.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.

Review of Preferred Care at Home of South Broward
They have helped with moving her and getting her to eat. I like that they are a small company, a mom-and-pop type. I don't have to go through a bureaucracy when I call.
