Home Care That Feels Like Family, Built by a Family

When mom or dad needs help at home, you don't want a corporate call center sending strangers. You want someone who listens, gets it right the first time, and treats your loved one with the dignity they deserve. That's why DavidStar exists.

Across Broward County, from Plantation and Fort Lauderdale to Weston, Pembroke Pines, and Hollywood, DavidStar Home Care provides licensed, fully insured in-home care for seniors and adults with disabilities. We serve families through the moments that matter most: after a hospital stay, during a dementia diagnosis, when a spouse can no longer manage alone, or when a family caregiver simply needs a break.

How Care Begins at DavidStar

No mystery caregiver at the door. No high-pressure sales call. A measured, careful process that ensures the right fit from day one.

  1. A real conversation: a coordinator listens to your situation, asks about your loved one, and helps you understand whether home care is right for your family. No script, no pressure.
  2. Free in-home assessment: we visit the home to meet your loved one, see the space, and learn the routines that matter, the favorite chair, morning rituals, medications, foods loved and hated, what makes them smile.
  3. Caregiver meet-and-greet: this is the part no one else does. We introduce the caregiver we've matched before care begins. If the fit isn't right, we find someone who is.
  4. Care that begins on your schedule: tomorrow, next week, recurring weekly, whatever fits.
  5. Ongoing communication: updates after every shift, so you stay involved without having to be there, even from out of state.

Six Things That Make Our Care Different

  • Meet before care starts: you approve the caregiver before anyone walks into your home.
  • Custom care plans: care built around the actual person, their history, preferences, language, and routines.
  • Bilingual caregivers: English, Spanish, Creole, French, and Russian, comfort in your loved one's first language (our owners and care coordinators also speak Hebrew).
  • Family-owned: founded by a family who needed this care themselves; decisions made by people who answer the phone.
  • No contracts: hire us for one day or one decade, stop, pause, or scale with no penalties.
  • 24/7 on-call: need to reach us at 11pm Sunday? Someone answers, every call, every time.

Frequently asked questions

What is home care, and how is it different from home health care?
Home care is non-medical support, bathing, dressing, meal preparation, companionship, medication reminders, and supervision. Home health care is short-term medical care delivered by licensed nurses or therapists, typically after a hospital stay. DavidStar provides home care; we don't replace skilled nursing but often work alongside it.
Does Medicare cover home care in Florida?
Generally no, not for non-medical home care. Medicare covers short-term skilled home health for homebound patients but does not cover ongoing personal care, companionship, or 24-hour support. Most Broward families pay through long-term care insurance, Florida Medicaid waivers, VA Aid & Attendance, or private pay, and we help every family understand which options apply.
How much does home care cost in Broward County?
Hourly rates for in-home care in Broward County typically range from $26 to $35 per hour, with a 4-hour minimum per visit. Live-in and 24-hour rates are quoted differently. We provide transparent pricing during your free in-home assessment, with no contracts required to learn the numbers.
What if my loved one doesn't like the caregiver?
This is exactly why we do the meet-and-greet first, but if the chemistry isn't right after care begins, you call us and we find someone new. There's no penalty and no awkward conversation; comfort and fit matter as much as competence.
Is DavidStar Home Care licensed and insured?
Yes. DavidStar is a Florida-licensed home care agency (AHCA #299995097). All caregivers are background-checked, bonded, and covered under our agency's insurance, protecting both your family and the caregiver.
