We’re not a corporate chain. Preferred Care at Home of Denton is a locally owned and operated agency serving Denton County families. Morgan Peters, Joseph Peters, and Drew White are your neighbors who live and work in Denton, TX. We combine over 40 years of proven expertise with the personal touch of local ownership, bringing reliable care in Denton to older adults throughout the community.
What makes our team different is personal commitment. Joseph brings healthcare skills and experience as a combat medic and radiologic technologist. Drew watched his beloved grandfather lose dignity in institutional memory care, an experience that drives our mission to deliver dementia care and Alzheimer’s support at home. Morgan learned from her grandparents the value of selfless service. Together, we match caregivers to clients based on personality and abilities, ensuring relationships built on trust.
Loneliness can strain physical and mental health. Our companion care provides a meaningful connection for older adults who live alone or whose family members live in Dallas or Fort Worth. From conversations with friends to accompanying clients to appointments, we combat isolation. You’ll receive compassionate companionship tailored to your loved one’s interests. Our caregivers become trusted companions. We match based on hobbies and communication skills to create relationships that bring comfort to daily life.
When bathing becomes unsafe or dressing feels impossible, dignity matters most. Our personal care services provide hands-on assistance with activities of daily living. From grooming and bathing to mobility support, we help with tasks that have become difficult. You decide the level of support your family needs. We provide assistance with patience and respect, adapting our care plan as needs vary over time. Our dedicated caregivers understand that asking for help isn’t easy.
Drew White’s grandfather had Alzheimer’s disease. Drew watched institutional care strip away dignity and independence. That experience drives our commitment to dementia care that honors the person behind the diagnosis. We provide specialized senior care for clients living with memory loss, helping them stay in familiar surroundings. Families receive the respite and guidance they deserve, contributing to an improved dementia experience. Our caregivers receive training in approaches that reduce anxiety and maintain quality of life through structured routines and compassionate redirection.
Peace of mind. That’s what family members tell us matters most. Our specialty is cost-effective live-in care that provides 24-hour supervision in the comfort of the home. Your loved ones receive around-the-clock companionship, personal assistance, and emergency response from a consistent caregiver. You sleep soundly knowing they’re safe. Live-in care costs less than most Denton families expect. When you compare it to the $4,500+ monthly cost of assisted living, staying home becomes the affordable choice.
Coming home from Medical City Denton shouldn’t mean coming home alone. Our transition care helps prevent readmission by providing supportive care during recovery from illness or injury. Joseph’s medical background helps coordinate with healthcare providers while we focus on compassionate support. We assist with daily activities and monitor recovery. The days after discharge are critical. We bridge the gap between hospital and home, ensuring you receive the assistance you need.
A clean living environment and healthy meals support wellbeing. When household tasks become overwhelming, our homemaker services provide light housekeeping, meal preparation, shopping, and laundry. We also offer respite care for family caregivers who need a break. You deserve time to recharge without worrying about your loved one’s comfort and safety. Family caregivers often experience strain and burnout. Our respite services give you permission to rest, knowing a trained caregiver provides dependable support.
Life’s final chapter deserves dignity. Our end-of-life care provides companionship during hospice, allowing clients to remain in the home they love. We coordinate with hospice providers while offering assistance, emotional support for patients and families, and 24-hour availability. Your loved one receives comfort in familiar surroundings. Being present matters. We help families create peaceful moments together at home rather than in an institutional setting.

We Serve:
I’m a mother who understands the importance of selfless service and family. My husband Joseph and I always wanted to start our own business, but we thought it would come later in life. When we discovered Preferred Care at Home, we were immediately intrigued by the opportunity to build financial freedom and security while maintaining the flexibility to spend time with our children and watch them grow up.
My grandparents have been some of the most influential people in my life, demonstrating empathy, love, and selfless service. They instilled in me the value of always being willing to drop everything to serve others. Being able to serve their generation while providing peace of mind and comfort to families is something I’ll never take for granted. Being a mother has taught me how to serve my family selflessly. It may not be easy all the time, but when you have the opportunity to take care of those you love, nothing is more rewarding.
I bring nearly a decade of experience in improving others’ lives through healthcare. I joined the military in 2018 as a combat medic, helping soldiers in emergency settings and rehabilitating them through injuries over long periods. While I excelled at treating fellow soldiers, I discovered my true passion was in clinical medicine rather than emergency environments.
I became a licensed radiologic technologist, helping diagnose seniors in emergency departments and working at the #1 pediatric orthopedic hospital in the United States. In 2025, when Morgan was approached with the opportunity to provide home care for seniors, I couldn’t think of anything I wanted more than to join her on this journey. Together, we’re improving the quality of seniors’ lives in Denton, safeguarding their independence and dignity by sending the very best caregivers to their homes.
My commitment to senior care is deeply personal. My grandfather, a man who embodied love, gentleness, and care in our family, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. I remember the day my mother explained that he had given up his driver’s license after a minor car accident. Suddenly, the superhero grandfather who used to take me for ice cream could no longer have a conversation with me.
When my grandmother had no choice but to place him in a memory care unit, I witnessed something that changed me forever. I saw a shell of the man I loved dearly. His dignity had been stripped away, his independence was gone, and I watched staff treat him without respect as an individual. My grandpa, the man I was named after, deserved better. Now I help ensure seniors in our community get the care they deserve in their own homes, with their dignity intact.

Home care services costs vary based on the level of care needed and hours of service. Companion care typically costs less than hands-on personal assistance. Our specialty is affordable 24-hour live-in care that costs significantly less than the $4,500+ monthly average for assisted living. We provide free consultations and transparent pricing. Call (940) 399-5080 for a customized quote based on your care plan needs.

We bring 40+ years of proven expertise, Joseph’s healthcare skills for effective coordination with medical providers, and Drew’s understanding of dementia care. Our Transparency Room technology lets families monitor care remotely. We match caregivers by personality to ensure quality relationships built on trust.
Hourly care works well when you need assistance a few hours daily for tasks like meal preparation or bathing. Live-in care makes sense when your loved one needs around-the-clock supervision for safety, has dementia requiring constant presence, or faces isolation living alone. We help you evaluate your situation during our free consultation to determine the most effective solution for your family.
Most families begin care within days of initial contact. After our consultation and assessment, we match you with a compatible caregiver and coordinate schedules quickly. For urgent situations like hospital discharge, we prioritize rapid placement. Timeline depends on availability and your requirements. We understand families often need help immediately. Call (940) 399-5080 to discuss your timeline and expectations.
Common signs include difficulty with bathing, dressing, or meal preparation; forgetting medications; unexplained bruises from falls; weight loss from poor nutrition; increased isolation; or unsafe driving. If you’re worried about your parents’ safety living alone, trust your instincts. Early intervention with companion care can prevent crises and improve the quality of life for seniors who deserve support.
Yes. Our Denton team provides continuous monitoring and regular check-ins. Families access our Transparency Room portal 24/7 for caregiver notes and schedules. You can always reach Morgan, Joseph, or Drew with concerns. We adjust care plans as needs change. Our commitment extends beyond initial placement to ongoing relationship building and quality assurance through dedicated listening and guidance.
Absolutely. We’re honored to serve veterans and their families. Many veterans and surviving spouses qualify for VA benefits through programs like Aid and Attendance that can help cover home care costs. We assist with understanding VA benefits and can provide the documentation needed. Call (940) 399-5080 to discuss veteran care options and how we can support those who served our country.
We provide compassionate home care, including assistance with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, and grooming; companion care for social engagement; homemaker services like meal preparation and light housekeeping; dementia and Alzheimer’s care; 24-hour live-in care; hospital-to-home transition support; respite for family caregivers; and end-of-life comfort care. We coordinate with healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive support for seniors and adults with disabilities.

We select caregivers who balance compassion with professional abilities. Morgan, Joseph, and Drew personally oversee selection and quality monitoring. We match caregivers to clients based on compatibility to ensure dependable, consistent relationships that families can trust.
