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! Many families take advantage of community-based programs that provide services like transportation, meal deliveries, home safety assessments, and short-term relief for caregivers.

Definitely. We’ve compiled a detailed directory designed to support families just like yours. Our senior resources page includes trusted organizations, benefit programs, and community services focused on health care, safety, transportation, and financial aid. It’s a great starting point for families looking to explore their options with confidence.
Families usually fund home care through private pay, long-term care insurance, veterans’ benefits, or government-supported programs at the state or local level. We know the payment process can feel overwhelming, so our team is here to guide you through it. For in-depth details about each payment method, eligibility, and how we assist families in choosing the right option, see our comprehensive guide on ways to pay for home care.
We understand that care needs often arise suddenly, whether after a hospital discharge or due to a change in health. In most cases, we can begin care services in Gallatin within 24 to 48 hours of your initial contact. During emergencies or urgent situations, we work diligently to arrange care even faster. Our streamlined process—from consultation to caregiver matching—is designed to provide families with the support they need when they need it most.
Consistency is important for building trust and comfort, especially for seniors with memory loss or specific health conditions. We prioritize assigning the same caregiver for each visit whenever possible. This continuity allows your loved one and their caregiver to develop a meaningful relationship while the caregiver becomes familiar with routines and preferences. In cases where your regular caregiver is unavailable due to illness or time off, we’ll introduce a carefully selected backup caregiver to ensure care continues without interruption.
Aging is a journey, and care requirements naturally evolve. We conduct regular check-ins with families to assess how things are going and whether adjustments are needed. If your loved one requires more hours, additional assistance with daily tasks, or specialized care for progressing health conditions, we modify the care plan accordingly. This flexibility ensures seniors receive appropriate support at every stage, from occasional Companion and Homemaker Care to more intensive daily living assistance. You can request a care review at any time—we’re here to adapt alongside your family’s changing needs.
