Most care agencies in Montgomery County staff from Clarksville, and your family in Cunningham already knows what that means: long waits, limited availability, and calls ending with “we don’t cover that area.” When daily tasks like bathing, cooking, or managing medications go unsupported, the options narrow fast. Hospital discharges turn into crisis-mode decisions, and nursing home placement starts to feel inevitable.
Preferred Care at Home of Hendersonville serves Cunningham households directly with licensed, screened caregivers. We’re by your side, every step of the way, helping your loved one stay home safely.
Preferred Care at Home brings together the warmth of locally owned, personalized senior care with the reliability of a trusted national brand serving families since 1984. Our dedicated team understands the unique challenges families face when a loved one needs assistance with daily living.
We’re committed to providing affordable, high-quality home care services that support well-being and independence. From your first call to ongoing support, we work closely with family members to create a care plan that adapts as your loved one’s needs evolve. Let us be there for you, by your side, every step of the way.
Preferred Care at Home of Hendersonville is part of a national franchise established in 1984. We hold Tennessee License L000000039607 and have earned Certified Preferred Provider status. Home Care Pulse recognized us as Employer of Choice in 2022, 2023, and 2024, and as Provider of Choice in 2022 and 2023.
Our caregivers are matched by personality, not just assigned by availability. LPN Melissa Maxfield provides clinical oversight, and Transition Liaison Lisa Barry coordinates hospital-to-home care so your family isn’t navigating discharge paperwork alone. Directories list agencies without explaining screening or matching, but we walk you through both before your first visit in Cunningham.
Many Montgomery County agencies staff from Clarksville and tell rural families “we don’t serve that area.” Our service area explicitly includes Cunningham, Palmyra, Southside, and Woodlawn.
10.5% of Montgomery County residents are 65+, and many households juggle daily living assistance without outside help. Our companion, personal, and dementia care covers the full range of non-medical support.
12.2% of Montgomery County residents under 65 live with a disability. Personal care supports active daily routines for working-age adults living with a disability, not just seniors.
Tennessee requires licensed agencies to run TBI background checks and maintain oversight policies. We hold Tennessee License L000000039607 and run a 7-step screening process for every caregiver.
Many families assume Medicare pays for any in-home caregiver. We walk families through which type of in-home care they need and which Tennessee programs like CHOICES or HCBS may apply.
When ADL needs go unaddressed, conditions worsen and options narrow. A free phone consultation and in-home assessment help start the process before a crisis forces your hand.

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.
Richard discovered his calling at 14, working in an assisted living facility where relationships with residents gave him purpose during uncertain teenage years. After five years in the funeral industry helping families plan ahead, he recognized a gap: widows and widowers returning home alone, facing physical limitations without support. He wanted to own a business that truly helps people, and Preferred Care at Home was the answer. For Richard, this work is about facilitating meaningful connections that enrich both caregiver and client.
In-home care costs in Cunningham depend on the type of care, hours per week, and whether Tennessee programs offset the expense. Companion care, personal care, and dementia care each carry different rates based on the level of hands-on assistance involved. Tennessee’s CHOICES program and HCBS waivers may cover part or all of the cost for eligible adults who meet income and care-need thresholds. Private pay is also common for families who don’t qualify or prefer to start care immediately. Preferred Care at Home offers a free consultation to walk through your options.
We match caregivers by personality, keep an LPN on staff, and have earned Home Care Pulse awards three years running. Every caregiver passes our 7-step screening process before entering a Cunningham home. LPN Melissa Maxfield provides clinical oversight on care plans. Transition Liaison Lisa Barry coordinates hospital-to-home care so your family isn’t left deciphering discharge paperwork alone. Our mission is to help families stay together at home.
Most families begin receiving in-home care within days of their first call, depending on assessment scheduling and caregiver availability. The process starts with a phone consultation, followed by an in-home assessment, then we build a care plan and match a caregiver. Urgent situations move faster. We prioritize families where safety is an immediate concern.
Medicare covers home health services only when a provider orders intermittent skilled care and the person is homebound. Per Medicare.gov, Medicare beneficiaries pay $0 for covered home health services. Non-medical in-home care like companion, personal, and dementia support is not covered by Medicare. Tennessee’s CHOICES program and HCBS waivers serve as alternative funding paths for eligible Cunningham families.
Tennessee CHOICES serves adults age 65 and older and adults 21 and older with physical disabilities who meet financial and care-need requirements. Per TennCare, the CHOICES income limit is $2,982 per month for 2026. Groups 2 and 3 support home-based care to delay or replace nursing facility placement. HCBS Title III-B serves adults 60 and older with ADL limitations.
