Since 1984, Preferred Care at Home has helped families keep their loved ones comfortable and cared for at home. We’re not a corporate chain but a family-run business, now in our third generation of home care professionals serving Tennessee communities including Woodlawn and Montgomery County.
What sets us apart is our 7-step screening process that matches caregivers to clients by personality and experience, not just availability. You deserve consistency, and we’re committed to providing it. Our proprietary Transparency Room technology lets families monitor care remotely with real-time updates, caregiver notes, and voice messages. That peace of mind matters, especially when you can’t be there yourself.
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.
Too often, with age comes loneliness. The feeling that no one cares creeps in. Our companion care services provide daily social interaction and emotional support for seniors who live alone or have lost spouses. Caregivers engage in conversation, accompany you to appointments, and offer the companionship that brings joy to everyday life.
We understand that home is where memories have been made. Companion care helps you stay connected to friends, participate in activities you enjoy, and maintain the quality of life you deserve.
As we age, a big part of happiness depends on being comfortable and cared for at home. Our personal care services assist with activities of daily living, from bathing and dressing to mobility support and scheduling medications. We provide the assistance you need while respecting your dignity and independence.
Your caregiver will be matched to your personality and care requirements. Whether you need verbal prompts or comprehensive physical help, we customize support to fit your situation.
When caring for the home becomes a burden, the unwelcome thought of moving strikes. Our homemaker care services handle light housekeeping, meal preparation, grocery shopping, and errands so you can focus on what matters most. Living independently shouldn’t mean struggling with household chores you can’t manage like you used to.
We help Woodlawn seniors maintain clean, safe homes without the stress of keeping up with tasks alone.
Peace of mind. It’s so often an elusive dream for people with elderly parents and for elderly people themselves. Our live-in care provides around-the-clock supervision and companionship in the security and privacy of your own home. This is our specialty, and we’ve been known for cost-effective live-in care services since our founding.
Your caregiver lives with you, providing 24-hour presence, overnight help, and emergency response availability. Families gain the reassurance that the right caregiver is always there.
Memory loss changes everything. Our specialized dementia and Alzheimer’s care addresses the unique challenges of cognitive decline with trained caregivers who understand behavioral management, safety monitoring, and meaningful engagement activities. We provide support for both clients and families navigating this difficult journey through aging.
Caregivers receive specific training in Alzheimer’s and dementia care techniques, ensuring your loved one receives compassionate home care from professionals who treat them with dignity.
Family caregivers need breaks. Our respite care services give you time to rest, handle errands, or simply recharge while knowing your loved one receives quality care. Whether you need a few hours weekly or coverage during a vacation, we provide dependable relief that supports your well-being too.
This temporary assistance prevents caregiver burnout while maintaining consistent support for seniors at home.
A transition from a hospital or nursing home can be confusing. You get rehabilitation instructions, prescriptions to fill, follow-up appointments to make. Our transition care program prevents hospital readmission by providing post-discharge support, medication scheduling, and recovery monitoring during those critical first weeks home.
We help you build up your health and strength while managing all those other details you’re supposed to remember.
During life’s final chapter, comfort and dignity matter most. Our hospice and end-of-life care services allow clients to remain at home, surrounded by memories and family, with compassionate caregivers providing comfort care and respite support. We coordinate with hospice providers to ensure seamless, respectful assistance.
Families receive the emotional support they need while caring for their loved one during this profound journey.

Challenge
What It Looks Like
How We Help
Finding Dependable Caregivers
What It Looks Like
Home care agencies send whoever’s available. Caregivers don’t show up without notice. You’re constantly meeting new people who don’t know your loved one’s preferences or health needs.
How We Help
We match caregivers by personality and experience, not just availability. Our 7-step screening includes background checks and reference verification. You get the best care from professionals you can trust.
Challenge
Monitoring Care from a Distance
What It Looks Like
Adult children live in Clarksville, Nashville, or out of state. You can’t verify what’s happening during caregiver visits. Worries about your loved ones keep you up at night.
How We Help
Our Transparency Room portal provides 24/7 access to schedules, caregiver notes, task completion tracking, and voice messages. Monitor compassionate home care from anywhere with internet access.
Challenge
Affordability Concerns
What It Looks Like
Nursing home costs in the Woodlawn TN area average $3,955 per month. Even with Woodlawn’s median household income of $97,174, long-term care expenses add up quickly for families in Tennessee.
How We Help
We’ve focused on affordability since 1984. Our flexible hourly in home care services (1 to 24 hours daily) let you pay only for what you need. Live-in care provides 24-hour support at more manageable costs.
Challenge
Military Family Relocations
What It Looks Like
Fort Campbell families transfer frequently. Elderly parents stay in Woodlawn but adult children move across the country. Managing care becomes nearly impossible from 1,000 miles away, creating concerns about quality.
How We Help
Remote monitoring through our Transparency Room technology keeps military families connected to their loved ones’ care regardless of duty station. Real-time updates from our Clarksville office provide peace of mind during deployments and relocations.
Challenge
Fall Risk and Safety
What It Looks Like
Falls are the leading cause of injury for adults over 65, costing $50 billion annually in medical expenses. Your loved one lives alone in their house, and you worry about falls, especially during Woodlawn’s icy winter weather.
How We Help
Our caregivers provide mobility assistance, safety monitoring, and fall prevention strategies. We help with transfers, walking support, and creating safer home environments. Preventative measures can reduce fall risk by 38%.
Challenge
Managing Complex Health Needs
What It Looks Like
Your loved one has a disability, multiple chronic conditions, or takes numerous medications. Keeping track of everything feels overwhelming. You need help managing their health independently at home.

We’re not a corporate chain. We’re families caring for families in the Tennessee community.
Companion care focuses on social interaction, conversation, companionship, and activities. It’s ideal when your loved one needs emotional support and help with errands but can manage personal hygiene independently. Personal care includes hands-on assistance with bathing, dressing, and mobility. Many Woodlawn families start with companion services and add personal care as needs change. We’ll help you determine the right level of support during your consultation.
We typically begin care within days of your initial contact. The timeline depends on scheduling your consultation, completing the care assessment, and matching the right caregiver to meet your needs. For urgent situations like post-hospitalization discharge, we can expedite the process. Our priority is ensuring proper caregiver matching while respecting your timeline and concerns.
Common signs include difficulty managing household chores, missed medications, unexplained weight loss, increased isolation, or recent falls creating fall risk concerns. After hospital stays, home care prevents readmission. If you’re concerned about an aging parent’s safety or struggling with caregiver burnout yourself, it’s time to explore compassionate care options. We offer free consultations to acknowledge your situation and provide helpful guidance honestly.
We don’t offer traditional warranties, but we guarantee caregiver consistency and quality through ongoing monitoring. If you’re ever dissatisfied with your caregiver, we’ll make adjustments immediately. Our Transparency Room portal lets you track care in real-time, ensuring accountability. We’re committed to your satisfaction throughout your journey with us, with regular check-ins and responsive support.
We use a comprehensive matching process based on personality, life experience, work background, and specific care needs. It’s not about who’s available. After your consultation, we search our caregiver team to find compatible matches who can serve your loved ones with compassion. You’ll meet your caregiver before services begin. This approach reduces turnover and creates meaningful relationships between caregivers and clients.
We’re committed to consistency, but understand situations arise. When your assigned caregiver is unavailable due to illness or emergency, we provide a qualified replacement who’s briefed on your care plan and preferences through our Clarksville TN office. You’ll be notified of any schedule changes promptly. Our goal is minimal disruption while maintaining the quality care you deserve.
