Owners Committed to Your Family​

Richard Patterson

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 Christensen

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.
