Your elderly parent in Orlinda is managing most of daily life, but the gaps are getting harder to ignore: bathing, meals, medication reminders, or simply someone to sit and talk. Stitching together rides, meals, supervision, and respite for yourself across a week wears family caregivers down. Preferred Care at Home of Clarksville provides non-medical home care across Orlinda and Robertson County — from a few hours of companionship to 24-hour live-in support, so your loved one can remain at home. Call (931) 272-2273.

We Serve:
Hello! I’m Richard Patterson, and for the last eight years, I have had the absolute blessing of leading Preferred Care at Home here in Tennessee. When I first stepped into this role, my goal was simple but ambitious: to set a new high standard for senior care in our community. Today, I am more involved than ever, personally ensuring that we continue to provide life-changing care to seniors and meaningful, supportive employment to our incredible caregivers. As a resident of Sumner County, this mission is personal to me. My wife and I are raising our four children (ages 6 to 13) right here in the heart of our community, where we also homeschool them. When I’m not at the helm of the business, you’ll likely find me enjoying the beauty of our local area—whether I’m playing a match of pickleball in Hendersonville, cycling along the scenic country roads of Sumner County, or clearing my head with a run on the White House Greenway. At Preferred Care at Home, we understand that looking for in-home care can be a stressful and even scary experience for families. My family and I want you to know that you aren’t alone. We are here to offer a calm, professional, and compassionate hand to guide you through this new phase of life, ensuring your loved ones can stay safe and comfortable in the place they love most—home.
Quin’s commitment to quality senior care grew from personal experience. After watching his own parents navigate aging with cancer, stroke, and heart disease, he saw firsthand how the right caregiver transforms difficult seasons into manageable ones. A close friend’s struggle to find reliable care for her MS deepened his resolve. Today, Quin’s mission is connecting compassionate caregivers with seniors who deserve dignity, independence, and genuine companionship. When he learned about Preferred Care at Home, something woke up inside him: he could make a difference.
Yes — we serve Orlinda and the surrounding Robertson County communities, including Springfield, Greenbrier, Cross Plains, Adams, Cedar Hill, White House, and Cunningham. Our office at 1860 Wilma Rudolph Blvd, Suite 126 in Clarksville covers families across Middle Tennessee. We typically serve elderly parents living alone, recovering after a hospital stay, or living with dementia. Call (931) 272-2273 or request a free consultation.
Companion care, personal care, homemaker and respite care, dementia care, Alzheimer’s care, 24-hour live-in care, hospital-to-home transition care, end-of-life care, and veteran care — all non-medical. Most families start with companion care for conversation and daily routines, then add personal care as needs change. For memory loss, dementia care adds redirection training and structured routines. Personal care runs $30 to $36 per hour with no long-term contract.
Our 7-step screening process ensures each caregiver is truly trusted and qualified. Every caregiver passes criminal background checks, reference checks, identity verification, and a personal interview, and is credentialed as a CNA, HHA, or PCA. Caregivers are then matched by personality to your loved one, not assigned by who’s next on the rotation. Owners Quin Christensen and Richard Patterson stay personally involved in every family’s care, with the Transparency Room portal keeping adult children connected even from out of state.
Yes. Dementia care services are among our specialties. Our caregivers receive specialized training in dementia and Alzheimer’s, including communication techniques, behavioral management, and creating safe, predictable home environments. Familiar surroundings tend to ease confusion. For Orlinda families worried about overnight wandering or falls in older homes, 24-hour live-in care adds continuous supervision day and night.
Life is never static, especially for older adults managing health conditions or cognitive decline. That’s why we build flexibility into every care plan from the start. Your dedicated team maintains regular contact and adjusts hours, services, or caregiver match as needs change. From a few hours a week of companion visits to 24-hour live-in support, we scale the care plan to fit your family’s evolving situation across Orlinda and Robertson County.
Most families have a caregiver in place within days of the initial call — often the same week. The process moves from your first call to (931) 272-2273 through a same-day phone consultation, then in-home assessment, then caregiver match, then start of care. We understand families reach out when help is needed quickly — whether after a hospital discharge, responding to a sudden change in health, or needing immediate respite.
