Preferred Care at Home has served Tennessee families since 1984, bringing reliable companion care services to seniors throughout Clarksville and Montgomery County. We’re a family-operated company, now in our third generation of home care professionals, and we understand what it takes to build trust with families who need support.
What sets us apart is our 7-step caregiver screening process and our commitment to personality-based matching. You’re not just getting a caregiver. You’re getting someone who shares interests with your loved one, someone who’ll look forward to their visits, and someone who’ll become a genuine friend.
We offer comprehensive in-home care services designed specifically to support your recovery process. Whether you need help for a few hours a day or around-the-clock support, our team creates a personalized care plan that addresses your unique situation.
Companion care provides social interaction and emotional support for older adults who want meaningful connection in their daily lives. In Clarksville, where many seniors live alone or far from family, having a caring companion can transform isolated days into fulfilling ones.
Our caregivers bring conversation, laughter, and genuine friendship into your home. We accompany you to appointments, engage in activities you enjoy, and provide the reassurance that someone cares. This isn’t just about having someone present. It’s about having someone who truly listens.
For more complex medical needs after surgery, our skilled care services provide licensed nursing support in your own home. This includes wound care, catheter management, tube feeding assistance, and in-home medical assessments. Our licensed nurses work alongside your medical team to ensure your clinical needs are met while you recover in familiar surroundings. You get professional medical expertise without the institutional feel of a facility.
Step 01
You’ll reach out to us by phone or through our website, and we’ll respond quickly to understand your needs. We’ll ask about your loved one’s interests, daily routines, and what kind of companionship would bring the most joy.
Step 02
We’ll schedule a personalized consultation, either at home or by phone, to discuss care preferences in detail. You’ll tell us what matters most, from hobbies to personality traits, so we can find the right caregiver match.
Step 03
We’ll create a customized companion care plan that reflects your loved one’s interests and needs. This plan can include conversation time, light housekeeping, meal preparation, errands, or transportation to appointments and social events.
Step 04
We’ll match your loved one with a caregiver based on personality compatibility and shared interests, not just availability. You’ll meet the caregiver before services begin, and we’ll make adjustments if the fit isn’t quite right.
Step 05
Companion care starts on a schedule that works for you, whether that’s a few hours weekly or daily visits. Families have access to our Transparency Room portal for real-time updates, and we check in regularly to ensure everyone’s happy.

Companion care costs vary based on how many hours you need and the type of assistance required. Most families in Clarksville invest between $20 and $30 per hour for companion care services. We offer flexible scheduling from just one hour to 24-hour live-in care, so you only pay for the support you actually need. Contact us for a free consultation and personalized pricing.
We’ve been providing home care services for over 40 years, and we’re still family-operated with founders actively involved. Our 7-step screening process ensures every caregiver is thoroughly vetted, and we match caregivers based on personality compatibility, not just availability. Plus, our proprietary Transparency Room technology lets you monitor care remotely, giving you peace of mind wherever you are.
Companion care focuses on social interaction, light assistance, and emotional support, while personal care includes hands-on help with bathing, dressing, and mobility. If your loved one can handle daily tasks independently but struggles with loneliness or needs help with errands and light housekeeping, companion care is ideal. If physical assistance is needed, personal care services might be better. We’ll help you decide during your consultation.
Companion care visits can be as short as one hour or extend to 24-hour live-in arrangements. Most families start with a few hours several times per week, then adjust based on needs and budget. We’re flexible and can increase or decrease hours as circumstances change, whether that’s seasonal needs or evolving health conditions.
If you’re noticing signs of loneliness like decreased interest in hobbies, declining nutrition because cooking feels overwhelming, or increased anxiety when left alone, companion care can help. It’s also worth considering if your loved one struggles with transportation to appointments or maintaining their home. Many families wait until a crisis occurs, but starting companion care earlier often prevents bigger problems down the road.
Yes! We provide continuous monitoring through our Transparency Room portal, where you can view caregiver schedules, read daily notes, and stay connected to what’s happening. Our local office checks in regularly with families and caregivers to ensure satisfaction. If needs change or adjustments are needed, we respond quickly to maintain the quality of care your loved one deserves.
Our caregivers engage in activities your loved one enjoys, whether that’s playing cards, working puzzles, gardening, watching favorite shows, or simply having meaningful conversation. We’ll accompany seniors to Clarksville events, help with hobbies like crafts or reading, and provide companionship during daily routines. The focus is always on what brings joy and maintains well being while respecting your loved one’s dignity and independence.
Absolutely! Our companion care services include assistance with errands like grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions, or going to the post office. We provide transportation to medical appointments, social activities, or visits with friends and family throughout the Clarksville area. Having a caregiver along means your loved one gets where they need to go safely while enjoying good company along the way.
We use a personality-based matching system that goes far beyond availability. During your initial consultation, we learn about your loved one’s interests, preferences, and personality. Then we carefully select caregivers who share similar interests or have experience that makes them a great fit. You’ll meet the caregiver before services begin, and if the chemistry isn’t right, we’ll find someone else. Our goal is creating genuine friendships, not just filling a schedule.
Light housekeeping includes tasks like tidying up living spaces, washing dishes, doing laundry, changing linens, and light cleaning of bathrooms and kitchens. We don’t provide heavy cleaning like scrubbing floors or deep cleaning, but we help maintain a comfortable, organized home. Meal preparation is also included, ensuring your loved one enjoys nutritious meals without the stress of cooking. These practical services complement the companionship, creating a holistic support system.
