Our website is www.PreferHome.com/locations/central-san-diego. There you will learn more about me and the company. Preferred Care at Home provides in-home non-medical care to the ill and elderly in the privacy of their home, or wherever they call home.
Preferred Care at Home has been in business since 1984 and we take pride in giving that extra care needed to maintain independence and dignity in the comfort and security of home. We have partnered with Preferred Care at Home which is also in twenty-one states throughout the United States.

Our caregivers are experienced, W2 employees, background checked by the FBI and DOJ, bonded, insured and have workman's comp insurance. My employees are CNA’s, Certified Nurse’s Assistants or HHA’s, and Home Health Aids. Plus I also have a few male and female nursing students!
