Our locally owned Lexington team has deep roots in Central Kentucky. With over 40 years in the senior care industry, Preferred Care at Home of Lexington, KY, brings caring professionals and a commitment to compassionate care that families in the Lexington area can count on.
What makes us different starts with how we find the right person for your loved one. Every in home caregiver completes our rigorous 7-step screening process before they ever enter your home. Unlike a typical home care agency, we match caregivers to clients based on personality and life experience, so seniors get consistency from great staff, not a stranger at the door each morning.
Coming home from the hospital in Lexington can feel overwhelming. Our transition care program helps you manage discharge instructions, medication reminders, and follow-up appointments so nothing falls through the cracks during those critical first days.
A trained caregiver coordinates care between you and your health team, keeping family members informed and your recovery on track. Whether you need help managing physical therapy schedules or daily routines, it’s hospital-to-home support designed to prevent readmission and make daily life easier.
Loneliness has a way of creeping in as we age. Our companion care services bring conversation, engaging activities, and genuine connection to your day so you don’t have to face quiet hours alone. Your companion joins you for appointments, shares meals, and provides the kind of presence that lifts your spirits. For families living away, knowing someone caring is there makes a meaningful difference.
When keeping up with the house becomes a burden, our homemaker care steps in so you can stay comfortable in your own home. We handle light housekeeping, meal preparation, grocery shopping, and laundry without disrupting your routine. Our caregivers go the extra mile to keep your space clean, organized, and welcoming.
Asking for help with bathing, dressing, or mobility is not easy. We understand. Our personal care services are designed to preserve your dignity while giving you the assistance you need with activities of daily living. From gentle reminders to hands-on support, your caregiver adapts to your comfort level. You stay in control of your routine, your independence left unchanged.
A dementia diagnosis changes everything for the whole family. Our specialized dementia and Alzheimer’s care provides safety, structure, and patience for your loved one while giving family members the respite they need. Our caregivers are trained in memory care techniques that support cognitive engagement and reduce confusion.
When your loved one needs around-the-clock supervision, our live-in care provides 24-hour presence in the comfort of their own home. This has always been our specialty, and we offer it at prices more affordable than most families imagine. Your live-in caregiver handles everything from personal care to overnight assistance, providing the best possible care without the disruption of a facility move.
Life’s final chapter deserves compassion and dignity. Our end-of-life care allows your loved one to remain comfortable at home, surrounded by what they know and love, while we coordinate with hospice providers to ensure they receive excellent care. We provide comfort, personal care, and emotional support for both the person receiving care and the family members walking this path together.
Some situations require a unique approach. Our specialty care services cover mommy care for new mothers, surgery recovery support, disability assistance, and more. We adapt to your specific care needs and build a personalized care plan around your situation. Whatever the circumstances, you receive exceptional care from professionals who genuinely want to help.

Challenge
What It Looks Like
How We Help
Hospital discharge confusion
What It Looks Like
You leave the UK, Chandler, or Baptist Health with a stack of instructions and no one to help sort through them at home.
How We Help
Our transition care sends a trained caregiver to guide you through recovery, medications, and appointments from day one.
Challenge
Seasonal mobility risks
What It Looks Like
Lexington’s icy winters and humid summers increase fall risks for older adults aging at home. The CDC reports that one in four adults 65 and older falls each year.
How We Help
Safety-focused routines, mobility support, and light housekeeping to reduce hazards in your home, keeping your independence intact.
Challenge
Medicare coverage confusion
What It Looks Like
Many families assume Medicare covers non-medical in-home care. It does not cover custodial home care services, leaving you scrambling to figure out how to pay.
How We Help
We walk you through your options, including long-term care insurance and veterans benefits. Our resource on paying for home care can help you plan with confidence.
Challenge
Caregiver inconsistency
A different person shows up each visit. Your loved one has to re-explain medications, preferences, and routines to a stranger over and over.
How We Help
Personality-based matching and backup coverage planning means your caregiver stays consistent. No revolving door.
Challenge
Isolation and loneliness
Days feel long. Friends are fewer. The weight of being alone creeps in, especially after losing a spouse.
How We Help
Companion care brings engaging activities, conversation, and genuine connection to brighten each day.
Challenge
Budgeting for care hours
Understanding cost is hard when pricing depends on hours, services, and schedule. The Genworth survey shows that home care in Lexington averages roughly $7,150 per month.
How We Help
We build your care plan around your actual needs and budget. A free consultation helps you get an hour’s plan first, then a realistic number.
Preferred Care at Home of Lexington continues this tradition by only referring the most reliable, compassionate, experienced and affordable caregivers to clients’ homes or care facilities throughout the Lexington area and surrounding Central Kentucky communities.

Asking for help is not easy. We understand. That’s exactly why Ethan Guerrieri founded Preferred Care at Home of Lexington: because every elderly person deserves to age with dignity, comfort, and genuine compassion in the home they love.
Ethan grew up in a family where caring for others wasn’t just a profession. It was a way of life. That upbringing shaped who he is, and it led him to build a career dedicated to home care. Over the past decade, Ethan has served as a Director of Long Term Care, led day-to-day operations, and guided new franchise owners through the process of building their own care teams. He’s sat with families navigating difficult decisions. He’s worked alongside caregivers on the front lines. And through it all, he’s learned that great care comes down to one thing: treating every person the way you’d want your own family treated.
That experience is what he brings to Lexington. Together with his team, Ethan helps Central Kentucky families find peace of mind when caring for an elderly loved one feels overwhelming. Because home is where memories have been made, and are still being created. And he’ll be there for you, by your side, every step of the way.

We’ve been providing care for over 40 years as a family-operated business, now in our third generation. Our caregivers go through a rigorous 7-step screening process, and we match them to your loved one by personality, not just availability. Plus, our Transparency Room gives you real-time updates on care from anywhere. Families who experience our excellent service and top-notch caregivers consistently describe a positive experience and would absolutely recommend us.
It depends on your parents’ care needs and goals. In-home care lets your loved one stay in the comfort of their own home while receiving personalized care on a flexible schedule. Assisted living offers a structured facility setting. We can help you compare the options during a free consultation.
We know that hospital discharges happen fast, especially from facilities like UK Chandler Hospital or Baptist Health Lexington. Contact our local office as soon as you know discharge is coming. Have your medication list, discharge instructions, and follow-up appointments ready. We’ll work quickly to coordinate care and get a caregiver to your home.
Common signs include difficulty with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, or preparing meals. You might notice missed medications, a cluttered home, weight loss, or increased isolation. The CDC reports that one in four adults 65 and older falls each year, so if your loved one has had a fall or near-miss, that’s a strong signal it’s time to explore support.
Absolutely. Your personalized care plan is not a one-time document. As your care needs change, we adjust services, schedules, and caregiver assignments. Our Lexington team stays in regular contact with you and your family to make sure you’re always receiving the best possible care.
Our caregivers provide a wide range of services, including personal care (bathing, dressing, mobility), companion care (conversation, activities, errands), homemaker care (light housekeeping, meals, laundry), and specialized dementia and memory care, recovery, and end-of-life support. We tailor everything to your specific situation and schedule.
