When an elderly parent stays put in their Clinton home—or in Norris, Rocky Top, Claxton, or out toward Oak Ridge—what they need rarely fits one tidy category. Stitching together personal assistance from one place, a companion from another, and weekend respite from a third turns into a second job, especially for adult children driving in from Knoxville. Preferred Care at Home of East Tennessee handles all of it under one roof, from a single hour up to round-the-clock support. Call (865) 692-4000.
Preferred Care at Home of East Tennessee is locally owned by Ryan Siddons and David Vick, both East Tennessee natives. Our office sits at 11320 Station W Drive in Knoxville, and we cover Clinton and the rest of Anderson County from there. We’re part of the national Preferred Care at Home network, which has operated since 1984 — over 40 years. Reach us at (865) 692-4000.
Every caregiver clears our 7-step screening before working in a home. We match by personality, not just by who’s free Tuesday morning, so the same person can keep showing up. Families track schedules and visit notes through the Transparency Room portal, and care plans get reviewed with the family on a set cadence, not just once at intake.
Quality in-home care begins with the right caregiver match. Our comprehensive approach includes rigorous background checks and a thorough vetting process to ensure every caregiver meets our high standards. We focus on personality fit, professional experience, and a genuine passion for helping seniors thrive at home. The result for Clinton families: caregivers who feel like an extension of the family, providing reliable in-home care that respects your loved one’s dignity and preferences while keeping the routine you trust.

We Serve:
Ryan Siddons was born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee. After graduating from Farragut High School, he earned his marketing degree from Middle Tennessee State University. His passion for making a difference in the lives of seniors grew from personal experience watching home care companies fumble attempts at caring for his own grandparents.
Through those difficult moments, Ryan saw the need to provide reliable, compassionate, and affordable care to seniors like his grandparents. Years in customer service taught him what exceptional care truly requires. Today, Ryan is dedicated to providing the very best care, from one hour to 24 hours of support, so you can rest assured your loved one receives the quality services they need.
David Vick was raised in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. After graduating from Gatlinburg Pittman High School, he earned his marketing degree from Middle Tennessee State University. Throughout his career in vacation and commercial real estate, volunteering remained his passion. When he discovered the opportunity to help seniors through Preferred Care at Home, he realized this was his true calling.
For David, there is no better mission than waking up each morning knowing he can make a positive difference in someone’s life. From one hour to round-the-clock care, David is committed to ensuring families receive reliable, compassionate, and affordable care. His dedication to quality services means your loved one gets the support they deserve.
Yes, Preferred Care at Home covers Clinton and the surrounding Anderson County communities. We serve families in Clinton, Norris, Rocky Top, Claxton, Andersonville, and Oak Ridge, with caregivers based across the area so visits don’t depend on long drives. Call (865) 692-4000 to talk through what your parent needs and when you’d like care to start.
We offer non-medical home care including personal care, companion care, dementia and Alzheimer’s support, respite, hospital-to-home transition, and 24-hour live-in care. Most families start with daily-living assistance for hands-on help with bathing and mobility, or companionship for supervision and social engagement, and shift the mix as needs change.
The process has four steps: a phone call, an in-home assessment, a caregiver match, and the first shift—usually within days of the initial call. You start by calling (865) 692-4000; we come out to your parent’s home, write a care plan with the family, and match a caregiver by personality.
In-home care is non-medical—companionship, bathing, homemaking, respite. Home health is clinical, doctor-ordered, and provided by certified home health agencies. Our caregivers don’t perform skilled tasks like wound care or medication administration. The two services often run alongside each other, and we coordinate with home-health teams when families have both.
Personal care handles hands-on tasks (bathing, dressing, mobility, toileting); companion care covers supervision, conversation, and light household help. If bathing or walking safely is the issue, that’s personal care; if your parent is steady but lonely or skipping meals, that’s companion care. Many families layer in respite on top of either.
Yes—non-medical dementia care focuses on familiar routines, supervision, and personality-matched caregivers so home stays the safest place. Our caregivers are trained on redirection and routine-anchored support, we work alongside your parent’s doctor’s plan, and we keep the same caregivers in rotation when we can, because consistency reduces agitation.
