For Nicholasville families managing a hospital discharge, Transition care provides a trained coach to guide recovery at home. Your loved one gets help with prescriptions, follow-up appointments, and daily routines during the hardest weeks after leaving the hospital.
A discharge from Baptist Health Lexington or UK Chandler Hospital can feel overwhelming. Our Smooth-Transition Care program helps your family stay ahead of medication reminders, meal preparation, and transportation to outpatient visits at Brannon Crossing.
Loneliness can settle in quickly when family visits become less frequent. Companion care brings conversation, social interaction, and a familiar presence to your loved one’s home in Nicholasville.
Our caregivers build strong relationships through shared activities, errands, and genuine connection. Whether your parent needs a few hours of companionship or full time support, we match each caregiver by personality for comfort from the start.
When keeping up with the house becomes a burden, Homemaker care helps your loved one stay safely in their own homes. Our caregivers handle light housekeeping, grocery shopping, meal preparation, and laundry so your parent can focus on what matters.
Nicholasville seniors living in neighborhoods like Southbrook or Keene Crossing often need support with daily routines that have become harder over time. We step in with practical help that preserves dignity and independence.

Our experienced caregivers provide support ranging from occasional help with grooming to full time support with transfers, toileting, and personal hygiene. Families across the Nicholasville area trust us to protect their loved one’s dignity while keeping them at home.
A dementia diagnosis changes everything for a family. Our Dementia care helps your loved one remain at home with familiar surroundings, consistent routines, and a caregiver trained to respond to the specific challenges of Alzheimer’s disease.
Kentucky requires six hours of initial dementia training and three annual renewal hours for caregivers serving clients with memory loss. We exceed those requirements because families dealing with cognitive decline need caregivers who understand the condition, not just the tasks.
When your aging loved one needs around-the-clock supervision, live-in care provides one consistent caregiver who stays in the home 24 hours a day. This is our specialty, and it’s more affordable than most Nicholasville families expect.
A live-in caregiver handles personal care, homemaker tasks, companionship, and overnight safety. For Jessamine County families who want an alternative to assisted living, live-in care keeps your loved one home.

We screen every caregiver through a 7-step process and match them to your loved one by personality. Most Nicholasville families choose us because of three things: caregiver consistency, transparent communication through our Transparency Room, and over 40 years of experience in senior home care. We don’t just assign caregivers by availability. We match them by personality, life experience, and background so your family builds a relationship that lasts.
Care can begin within days of your initial consultation, depending on the care plan. After your free consultation, we assess needs, build a personalized care plan, and match a caregiver. Nicholasville families dealing with a hospital discharge or sudden decline often need short term support quickly. We prioritize urgent situations and can coordinate with Baptist Health’s Brannon Crossing outpatient center and Lexington hospital systems.
No. Home health care involves medically necessary services ordered by a doctor, while home care covers non medical daily support. Home health care is typically intermittent, physician-ordered, and covered by Medicare for specific conditions. Non medical in home care covers daily living tasks like bathing, meal preparation, medication reminders, companion care, and light housekeeping, and Original Medicare does not pay for this type of ongoing support. Preferred Care at Home specializes in non medical care for families in Nicholasville KY.
If your loved one needs help with physical tasks like bathing or dressing, that’s personal care. If they mainly need social engagement and light help, that’s companion care. Companion care focuses on conversation, errands, grocery shopping, and emotional support for Nicholasville seniors who are isolated or lonely. Personal care adds hands-on assistance with activities of daily living like bathing, mobility, and toileting. Many families start with companion care and add personal care services as needs grow, and we help you choose during your consultation.
Yes. Kentucky law requires specialized dementia training, and our caregivers exceed those requirements. Under Kentucky regulation 906 KAR 1:180, direct-care staff must complete six hours of initial dementia training and three annual hours before serving clients with Alzheimer’s disease or related symptoms. Our caregivers go beyond that baseline. We provide ongoing education in behavioral response, safety monitoring, and routine support for families navigating cognitive decline.
Yes. These are core services our caregivers provide every day across the Nicholasville area. Our care services include medication reminders, meal preparation, grocery shopping, light housekeeping, laundry, and transportation to local appointments. Nicholasville families rely on us for the daily routines that keep an aging loved one safe and independent at home. Every task is part of a personalized care plan built around what high quality care looks like for your family.
Yes. We provide respite care so family caregivers can rest, recharge, and take care of themselves. The Alzheimer’s Association reports that 160,000 Kentucky caregivers provided 307 million hours of unpaid care. Family caregivers in Jessamine County carry that same weight. Respite care gives you a break, whether for a few hours a week or several days, while experienced caregivers handle daily tasks, companionship, and personal care for your loved one.
No. Original Medicare does not cover long-term non medical home care like companion care, homemaker services, or personal care assistance. Many Nicholasville families assume Medicare will cover routine home care, but Original Medicare only pays for medically necessary home health services ordered by a doctor. Non medical in home care is typically paid through private funds, long-term care insurance, or veterans Aid and Attendance benefits. We walk you through every option during your consultation.
