If you are the one trying to figure out how to keep an elderly parent in their Springfield, TN home after a fall, a hospital stay, or early memory changes, you are already doing a hard job. Making sense of home care versus home health versus hospice, and then finding someone trustworthy to actually come into the house, turns into a second full-time job. Preferred Care at Home of Clarksville provides Springfield TN in home care, non-medical support across Robertson County that runs from a few hours of companionship to 24-hour live-in, matched one caregiver at a time.
Companion Care is a matched caregiver visiting your loved one’s home for conversation, community outings, and light help throughout the day. It fits elderly parents who still live independently but are spending too much time alone.
Visit hours and activities are tailored to what your parent actually wants. The same caregiver returns each time, so connection has room to grow instead of restarting every week.
Hands-on help with bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, and medication reminders for seniors who need physical support at home. Private-pay daily living assistance runs $30-$36 per hour.
Caregivers are trained in safe-transfer technique and fall prevention. Hours scale from one hour a day up to around-the-clock, and the plan adjusts as needs change.
Light housekeeping, meal prep, laundry, grocery runs, and errand help so your parent’s home stays manageable. It also covers family caregiver relief so the person doing everything can rest.
Respite coverage works in blocks of a few hours, overnights, or a long weekend. A caregiver takes over so you can sleep, travel, or just have a day back.
Specialized in-home support when memory loss is creating real safety concerns, like wandering, confusion, or missed medications, but your parent is not ready to leave their home. Dementia Care is built around that middle ground.
Caregivers trained in memory-care technique guide the daily routine, reduce agitation, and keep the home environment predictable. Families also receive coaching on what to expect as the condition progresses.
Targeted in-home care for families after an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Caregivers are trained in the specific stages and behaviors of the disease, with safety monitoring and cognitive engagement built into Alzheimer’s disease support.
Care plans adjust as the disease progresses, from early-stage cueing and companionship through later-stage 24-hour supervision. Family coaching is built in so you are not guessing at each new change.
A matched caregiver stays in your parent’s home around the clock, covering personal care, overnight needs, and immediate response. Around-the-clock support is often more affordable than facility care.
One consistent caregiver, not rotating staff, holds the routine and the trust steady through nights, weekends, and the first few days after a health change.
Non-medical support during the first days home from a hospital stay: rides to follow-ups, meal help, medication reminders, and a caregiver watching for setbacks. Our hospital-to-home recovery support picks up at discharge.
The caregiver coordinates with any home health nurses or therapists the hospital has scheduled. We cover the day-to-day so the clinical visits work as intended.
Comfort-focused companion support so your loved one can remain at home during life’s final season. End of Life Care complements hospice but is a separate, non-medical service.
Caregivers handle personal care, overnight presence, and family relief. We coordinate with your hospice team so families are never alone in the hardest stretches.
Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for in-home care authorized and paid by the VA. We walk veterans and surviving spouses through enrollment and coordination through our Care for Our Veterans program.
As a VA Community Care Network provider, we work directly with VA case managers so the care a veteran or spouse earned actually reaches the home.

Challenge
What It Looks Like
How We Help
Middle Tennessee weather swings
What It Looks Like
Summer heat and winter ice make falls, missed appointments, and slower post-hospital recovery more likely for seniors living alone.
How We Help
Companion Care handles rides and check-ins; Transition Care covers the first post-discharge weeks when weather slows everything down.
Challenge
Adult children out of state or commuting long hours
What It Looks Like
Long commutes and out-of-state families mean nobody can stop by at lunch or after dinner, and a parent’s small decline goes unnoticed for weeks.
How We Help
Homemaker and Respite Care covers weekly visits; the Family Room portal gives families real-time visibility into each caregiver shift.
Challenge
Fragmented local care landscape
What It Looks Like
Some providers only offer skilled home health care through Medicare; others only staff a few hours a day, leaving families without steady non-medical support.
How We Help
Companion Care and Personal Care cover daily non-medical needs; 24-Hour Live-In Care fills the gap when a few hours is not enough.
Challenge
Believing Medicare will pay for non-medical in-home care
What It Looks Like
Families learn at discharge that Medicare covers skilled nursing visits, not the bathing, meals, and supervision their parent actually needs day to day.
How We Help
Personal Care and Homemaker support are private-pay or VA-funded, and we explain the difference up front before any care starts.
Challenge
The first 30 days after a hospital stay
What It Looks Like
Seniors discharged without in-home support are more likely to skip follow-ups, miss medication timing, and end up readmitted within weeks.
How We Help
Transition Care starts within 24-48 hours of discharge; Personal Care layers in bathing and mobility help so recovery actually holds.
Challenge
Choosing whichever agency answers the phone first
What It Looks Like
A rushed hire puts a rotating series of strangers into your parent’s home, which is the opposite of what dementia or Alzheimer’s care needs.
How We Help
Dementia Care and Alzheimer’s Care are built on personality-matched, consistent caregivers; Companion Care uses the same match-first rule from day one.
From our Clarksville office, we serve the surrounding Robertson County communities where many of our families live.

Preferred Care at Home of Clarksville is a locally owned franchise of Preferred Care at Home, a family-run brand founded in 1984 and now in its third generation. We provide non-medical in-home care to seniors and adults across Montgomery and Robertson counties in Tennessee under Tennessee Home Care License #L00000031791. Recognized as a Home Care Pulse Employer of Choice 2022-2024, with over 40 years of brand experience. Our caregivers are trained with compassion and respect for the people we serve.
Yes. Preferred Care at Home of Clarksville serves the rest of Robertson County from our Clarksville office.
We cover families dealing with aging parents, post-hospital recovery, respite for burned-out family caregivers, and veterans using VA benefits. A free in-home consultation in the home is the usual first step, and there is no obligation to move forward.
We provide companion care, personal care, homemaker and respite care, dementia and Alzheimer’s care, live-in care, transition care, end-of-life care, and veteran care.
Most families start with either personal care for bathing and daily living help, or dementia care when memory changes have become a safety concern. Hours scale from a few per week up to 24-hour live-in.
Call or send a message, schedule a free in-home consultation, and care usually starts within days, or within 24-48 hours if it is urgent.
A caregiver coordinator visits the home, meets your parent, and learns what help is needed. Together we build a care plan with no long-term contract, match a caregiver by personality, and begin. The Family Room portal keeps you updated from day one.
Home health care is short-term skilled medical care ordered by a doctor; home care is ongoing non-medical help with daily life, companionship, and household tasks.
Home health aides, nurses, and therapists visit for a limited number of weeks after a qualifying event and are typically covered by Medicare. Non-medical in-home care fills the daily hours around those visits and continues as long as the family needs it. Home health care focuses on medical recovery, while our services assist with the things that make home comfortable.
No. Hospice is end-of-life medical and comfort care; in-home care is non-medical support that can work alongside hospice but is a separate service.
Hospice teams include nurses, social workers, chaplains, and counseling for pain and family grief. Our end of life care handles the bathing, overnight presence, and family respite hospice does not staff, so no one sits alone through the hardest nights.
Non-medical in-home care is typically private-pay, with personal care running $30-$36 per hour and live-in rates set lower per hour.
Medicare generally does not cover non-medical care. VA Community Care Network benefits may apply for eligible veterans, and long-term care insurance often covers these services. Around-the-clock support offers better per-hour value than hourly rates for families needing continuous coverage.
Yes. Our homemaker and respite care gives family caregivers blocks of hours, overnights, or weekends off while a matched caregiver covers the home.
There is no minimum weekly hours and no long-term contract. Most families start with a recurring weekly block, then add overnight or weekend coverage when they need to travel or rest for a stretch.
Yes. We have no minimum hours and no long-term contracts, so families can start with a few hours a week and add from there.
Even at short visit lengths, the same personality-matched caregiver returns each time, so your parent is not meeting a new person every week. Hours scale up naturally for dementia, live-in, or post-hospital situations as needs change.
Yes. Our transition care starts within 24-48 hours of discharge and handles rides, meals, medication reminders, and daily recovery support at home.
A caregiver covers the first weeks when confusion about follow-up appointments and discharge instructions causes most setbacks. Our hospital-to-home recovery support coordinates with any home health care clinicians scheduled by the hospital so nothing falls through the gaps.
Yes. As a VA Community Care Network provider, we help veterans and surviving spouses receive in-home care authorized and paid by the VA.
We walk families through VA eligibility, Aid and Attendance guidance, and coordination with VA case managers. Preferred Care at Home works directly with the VA so the benefits a veteran earned reach the home through our Care for Our Veterans program.
We match caregivers by personality and shared interests, not just availability or schedule fit.
Before the first visit, we learn what your parent values, what their daily routine looks like, and what kind of person they connect with naturally. Then we pick a caregiver who fits. If the match is wrong, we replace it at no cost.
Yes. We provide personal care and companion support for elderly people with physical disabilities, mobility limitations, and chronic conditions.
Caregivers are trained in safe transfers, fall prevention, and adaptive techniques for bathing, dressing, and daily tasks. Hours scale from a few visits per week to 24-hour live-in coverage depending on what your loved one needs to maximize independence at home.
Care typically starts within days of the in-home consultation, or within 24-48 hours if the need is urgent.
We understand that hospital discharges, sudden health changes, and family caregiver burnout do not wait for a two-week onboarding process. Once we visit the home and build a care plan, we match a caregiver and begin as soon as the family is ready.
Yes. You can reach our Clarksville office by phone at (931) 272-2273, by contact form on our website, or by fax for documentation and care coordination.
Most families start by calling or sending a message online, but we accept faxed referrals from hospitals, physicians, and case managers who coordinate care for patients in the area. This is important for families who need to move quickly after a discharge or diagnosis.
