Your elderly parent has lived in the same Halls home for decades, maybe just off Emory Road or near Halls Crossroads. Lately, daily life has gotten harder to manage alone. Preferred Care at Home provides in-home care for Halls families, from 1 hour to full 24/7 coverage. Caregivers are matched to your loved one’s personality and personal preferences.
Preferred Care at Home of East Tennessee is locally owned by Ryan Siddons, a Knoxville native and Farragut High School graduate. His partner, David Vick, was raised in Gatlinburg. Our mission is simple: help elderly people remain at home with dignity and companionship, at a price families can access.
We serve Halls, Knoxville, Maryville, Oak Ridge, and Lenoir City, plus communities across the region from our office at 11320 Station W Drive. Every caregiver is qualified and screened through our 7-step process, and care is available from 1 hour up to 24/7.
We match caregivers by personality, not availability. Care plans are built around your loved one’s routines, not a template. Families reach the owners directly when something needs adjusting across our East Tennessee service areas.
We’re honored to serve Halls families. Every caregiver on our team is dependable and reliable, trained to treat your loved one with the same care we’d want for our own family. That’s real peace of mind.
Companion and Homemaker Care fits when the main need is someone present. Meal preparation, errands along the Emory Road corridor, conversation, and safe supervision help your loved one stay engaged in a safe environment at home.
We match a caregiver by personality and build the routine around your loved one’s personal preferences. Hours adjust as needs shift, from a few hours a week up to daily visits.
Personal care picks up when a family member needs hands-on assistance. Bathing, dressing, transferring safely from bed or chair, and medication reminders are the physical tasks that quietly become unsafe alone.
Caregivers are trained on safe transfer, fall prevention, and routines that honor your loved one’s dignity. We coordinate with your family on preferences: morning showers versus evening, favorite clothes, and the small habits that matter.
Family caregivers in Halls burn out. The daughter driving in from Powell, the son juggling work in Oak Ridge, both need a break. Homemaker and Respite Care covers you for hours, days, or a week at a time.
We handle laundry, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and safe supervision while you rest, work, or travel. Schedule a single afternoon or a recurring weekly block, whichever fits your household.
When leaving your loved one alone overnight no longer feels safe, 24/7 Care puts a trained caregiver in the home around the clock. Coverage runs through the night and into the morning.
We staff around-the-clock and rotating shift models depending on your loved one’s needs and sleep patterns. Care plans are reviewed with your family and adjusted as conditions change.
Memory loss changes what help looks like day to day. Our Dementia Care caregivers use routines, familiar cues from your loved one’s own home, and calm redirection when confusion rises.
We train caregivers on dementia-specific behaviors like sundowning, wandering, and agitation. We build the day around anchors your family already knows: favorite chair, morning coffee, the same walk through the neighborhood.
The first two weeks after a hospital or rehab stay are when re-admissions happen. Transition Care covers the routine your family cannot yet manage alone: meal preparation, mobility, medication reminders, safe movement at home.
We start same-day or next-day where possible and follow the discharge plan your loved one comes home with. The care plan steps up or down as recovery progresses.

Halls is a neighborhood of long-tenured homes and older residents. Care here has to fit the house, the routine, and the family already doing most of the work.

How We Help
Problem
Long, hot summers around Halls Crossroads
Description
Elderly parents skip errands and daytime walks when hot days stack up, then decondition indoors. Isolation and fall risk climb together.
How We Help
Companion Care covers indoor routines and cooled errand runs. Personal Care adds bathing and mobility support if strength drops.
Problem
Long-tenure homes not modified for age
Description
Halls is a neighborhood of long-owned homes with stairs, narrow bathrooms, and single-story ranches with cluttered floors. Small layout issues turn into fall risks over time.
How We Help
Personal Care caregivers are trained on safe transfer and fall prevention. 24/7 Care covers overnight bathroom trips when falls happen most.
Problem
Confusion between home care and home health care
Description
Families in Halls call three agencies and hear different answers. Some are Medicare-certified home health providers, some are non-medical, and the language blurs.
How We Help
We explain the distinction on the first call and route you to non-medical Companion, Personal, Respite, or 24/7 Care based on what your loved one actually needs.
Problem
First two weeks after a hospital stay
Description
An elderly parent discharged home to Halls after surgery or a fall faces the highest re-admission risk in the first two weeks. Family cannot cover meals, mobility, and medication reminders alone.
How We Help
Transition Care starts same-day or next-day and covers Personal Care and Companion Care hours through recovery. The plan steps down as strength returns.
Our office staff lives and works in Knoxville alongside the families we serve. When you call our Knoxville office, you reach neighbors who understand life in Knoxville.

Yes, Preferred Care at Home of East Tennessee provides in-home care throughout Halls, Halls Crossroads, and the surrounding North Knoxville, TN area. We offer care from 1 hour a week up to 24/7, coordinated out of our Knoxville, TN office. Call (865) 692-4000 to talk through what your family needs.
We offer companion care, personal care, 24/7 care, and respite care in Halls, plus dementia support and post-hospital transition care. Each service can scale up or down as your loved one’s needs change over time. We’ll walk through which combination fits during a free in-home assessment.
Getting started with in-home care in Halls begins with a phone call to Preferred Care at Home and a free in-home assessment. An owner or care manager responds the same day to schedule a visit. From there, we create a care plan and match a caregiver by personality before care begins.
In-home care is non-medical support such as bathing, meal preparation, medication reminders, and companionship. Home health care, by contrast, is Medicare-certified medical care like skilled nursing or therapy. Preferred Care at Home provides non-medical care and can work alongside a home health agency if one is already coordinating your loved one’s recovery.
Companion care fits when the main need is supervision, meal preparation, errands, and conversation. It’s a step up from occasional sitters, built around consistency and personal preferences. Personal care is needed when a loved one needs hands-on help with bathing, dressing, or mobility. We start with an in-home assessment to sort this out and adjust the plan as conditions change.
Both cover a full day, but they’re staffed differently. Our 24/7 live-caregiver model usually means one caregiver in the home with rest periods, while shift-based coverage uses rotating caregivers for continuous awake support. We staff both models and can recommend which fits your loved one’s needs during the assessment.
Medicare generally does not pay for non-medical in-home care in Halls. It covers skilled home health services from Medicare-certified agencies, not companion or personal care. Private pay, long-term care insurance, and VA benefits are common payment options for families here. Call (865) 692-4000 for a Halls-specific rate, or ask about 24/7 Care if around-the-clock support is what your family needs.
