Families in Lookout Mountain, TN Trust Our Local Team
Preferred Care at Home of Chattanooga is the local franchise of a family agency founded in 1984. Our Premier Drive office serves Hamilton County, including Lookout Mountain and Signal Mountain. Caregivers are background-checked under LIC #L000000038642, with schedules from one hour to 24 hours a day.
Experience the Difference of Truly Personalized Care
Since 1984, this agency has referred reliable, compassionate, and affordable caregivers into the homes of older adults. Locally owned and operated, our local office covers Hamilton County with the personal accountability of Roxanne Clark and a six-member administrative team. Exceptional care here runs from a few hours weekly to around the clock care, paid privately rather than through Medicare.
We match on personality, daily rhythm, and the care plan, whether that means dementia, diabetes, or multiple sclerosis. Every caregiver clears a criminal background check and our 7-step screening process, and because the owners live here, the care plan adjusts when needs change. Caregivers are available every day of the week, so well being and independence stay where they belong, at home.
Getting Started with In-Home Care in Lookout Mountain
Step 01
Tell Us What's Going On
There is no script and no commitment here, and you do not need a diagnosis to call. The consultation is free, and most families start by describing one bad week with their mother or father out loud.
Step 02
Your In-Home Consultation
A care manager comes to the house and walks through it with you, noting the stairs, the bathroom, medication management, and the kitchen. The care plan is built from what we see, not from a form.
Step 03
Your Caregiver Match
We match on personality, language, and daily living needs, then you meet the caregiver before the first shift. Nobody unfamiliar walks through your door on day one, and the match is not final until your family agrees.
Step 04
Care Starts at Home
In most cases care begins within 24 to 48 hours of that first consultation. From there your family stays in regular contact with the team on schedules, caregiver notes, and any change worth knowing about.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide in home care in Lookout Mountain, TN?
Yes. We’re proud to serve the whole mountain and the surrounding Hamilton County communities every day of the week, with senior care services running anywhere from one hour to 24 hours a day.
What home care services do you offer here?
We offer Companion and Homemaker Care, Personal Care, Dementia Care, Alzheimer’s Care, Transition Care, Homemaker and Respite Care, Live-in Care, and End of Life Care, which works alongside hospice care. All of it is non-medical.
How fast can home care services start?
Usually within 24 to 48 hours. You call, a care manager visits the house, we match a compassionate caregiver to your loved one, and care begins once your family has met that person.
What is the difference between companion and personal care?
Companion and Homemaker Care is hands-off: light housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation, and companionship. Personal Care is hands-on assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and mobility. Many care plans combine both.
How much does in home care cost per hour?
Rates vary by hours scheduled and level of care, so we quote honestly rather than publish a number. Medicare does not cover non-medical home health care, but long-term care insurance and VA benefits often help seniors.
Can you help with Alzheimer's disease and dementia?
Yes. Our professional caregivers provide compassionate, specialized care built on supervision, familiar routine, and calm redirection. When nighttime confusion turns risky, around the clock coverage keeps someone in the room, and Dementia Care plans adjust as needs change.
Do you offer respite care for family caregivers?
Yes. Respite care covers scheduled blocks, a few hours a week or a full stretch of days, so whoever is taking care of a parent can rest. Short-term coverage after a hospital stay works the same way.
Do you serve assisted living communities on the mountain?
Yes. Our home caregivers assist residents inside assisted living communities like Brow Wood, adding one-to-one companionship, transportation to doctor appointments, and mealtime support that facility staff cannot always provide.
