Preferred Care at Home of Denton is locally owned and operated by Morgan Peters, Joseph Peters, and Drew White, three professionals who live and work right here in Denton County. Licensed by Texas Health and Human Services Commission (#024695), we combine over 40 years of proven expertise from our national company with the personal commitment only local ownership can deliver.
What makes our team different is simple. Drew White watched his beloved grandfather lose his dignity in institutional memory care. Joseph Peters spent nearly a decade in healthcare as a combat medic and radiologic technologist. Morgan Peters learned from her grandparents the value of selfless service. These owners understand the weight of asking for help and the importance of getting care right for Denton area families.
Safe, dignified bathing support is one of the most personal services we provide in Denton TX homes. Our caregivers help with showers, baths, hair washing, and grooming while respecting privacy and maintaining safety. We match the level of support to individual comfort and preferences, ensuring your loved one feels secure.
Our caregivers in Denton provide patient dressing assistance, working with adaptive clothing when helpful and respecting personal style. We also help with safe transfers from bed to chair, walking support, and mobility assistance around the home to prevent falls. For families in neighborhoods like Southridge or near the historic Square, our team understands how to navigate different home layouts safely.
Our Denton caregivers prepare fresh, nutritious meals based on dietary preferences and restrictions. We handle grocery shopping, cook meals your loved one will actually enjoy, and provide companionship during mealtimes. Whether it’s comfort food or carefully planned meals for health conditions, we focus on what matters to each individual.
We provide discreet, respectful assistance with toileting, incontinence care, and personal hygiene. Our personality-matched caregivers build relationships that make these intimate moments feel less uncomfortable. Dignity comes first, always. Our staff understands that needing help with these personal tasks can feel difficult, so we approach every interaction with the respect individuals deserve.
While we don’t administer medications (we’re a non-medical home care agency), our staff provides essential medication reminders. We help set up pill boxes, remind your loved one when it’s time to receive their medications, and talk with family members about refills and doctor instructions. Joseph Peters’ healthcare background helps our team communicate effectively with medical providers.
Personal care Denton families need doesn’t mean committing to round-the-clock help. We offer home care services from as little as one hour per day to full 24-hour live-in care. Many families start with a few hours of morning assistance and adjust as needs change, ensuring seniors can live their best lives at home with exactly the assistance they need.

Our caregivers monitor hydration, take over outdoor tasks that create heat exposure, and ensure air conditioning works properly to keep your loved one safe and comfortable.
Challenge
Sandwich Generation Overwhelm

How We Help
Our Transparency Room technology gives real-time updates from any location. Families in Dallas or Fort Worth can stay connected with caregiver visit confirmations and daily notes without driving to Denton constantly.
Challenge

What It Looks Like
UNT and TWU faculty who retire in Denton often lose their professional social networks. Colleagues and friends move away, leaving retirees feeling isolated in communities that once felt vibrant and connected.

Challenge
Affordability Concerns
What It Looks Like
Many families worry they can’t afford professional personal care services. The benefits of in home care seem out of reach when assisted living costs $3,000-$8,000 monthly.
How We Help
Our mission focuses on affordable quality care. We specialize in cost-effective live-in care at prices far more accessible than institutional care, with flexible hours so families only pay for the support they actually need.

Yes. Personal care includes hands-on assistance with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility support. Companion care focuses on social interaction and emotional support without physical assistance. Many Denton families need both. We often provide companionship alongside personal care tasks, building meaningful relationships while ensuring safety needs are met so seniors can maintain their independence and quality of life.
Most families in Denton can begin receiving home care services within days of initial contact. After your free in-home assessment and care plan discussion, we match a compatible caregiver to your loved one’s personality and needs.

Watch for these signs: declining home cleanliness, weight loss, difficulty with stairs or mobility assistance needs, changes in personal hygiene, medication confusion, or withdrawal from activities they used to enjoy.

Many families start with limited hours and increase support gradually. Flexibility helps you control costs while ensuring essential care happens.
Personal care is essential for seniors with memory loss who struggle with daily tasks. Our caregivers provide patient assistance with bathing, dressing, and eating while using communication strategies that reduce confusion and anxiety. Drew White’s grandfather had Alzheimer’s disease, so our team understands firsthand the importance of maintaining dignity through every stage. We also offer specialized dementia and Alzheimer’s care with additional training and 24-hour supervision options for individuals with advanced memory concerns.
