When someone you love needs more than a few hours of help each day, the worry can feel constant. For families in Lexington, Preferred Care at Home provides reliable live-in home care that keeps your loved one safe and comfortable in their own homes, with hope for a better daily routine.
With over 40 years of experience in senior care, Preferred Care at Home brings a third-generation family legacy to Lexington families. Our team understands the unique care needs of older adults throughout Fayette County and surrounding communities.
What makes us different? We match caregivers to your loved one based on personality and life experience, not just a schedule. Our 7-step screening process ensures only qualified, compassionate professionals enter your home. Plus, our Transparency Room gives families real-time updates they can count on. Local owners who understand this community make all the difference.
For seniors in Lexington who need continuous support, live-in care means a dedicated caregiver stays in your home, providing assistance throughout the day and night. This level of home care services ensures someone is always there to help navigate daily activities safely. You’re never left wondering whether your loved one is okay.
Many older adults in Lexington need help with personal care as mobility or health changes make daily routines more difficult. Our caregivers provide respectful, person centered care with bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility support. Personal care services are built around your schedule and preferences. We focus on dignity and respect in every interaction, helping you maintain independence at home.
Loneliness can weigh heavily, especially when a spouse has passed or family lives far away. Our companion care brings genuine conversation, engaging activities, and the warmth of human connection. A live-in companion doesn’t just sit in the room. They share meals, join in hobbies, and accompany you to appointments, helping life feel fuller and more connected.
When caring for the home becomes a burden, the unwelcome thought of moving often follows. Our homemaker care keeps your household running smoothly so you can stay right where you belong. From meal preparation and light housekeeping to grocery shopping and laundry, our caregivers handle the daily tasks that keep life comfortable and organized.
For families managing memory loss in Lexington, live-in care provides the consistent supervision and structured routine that help maintain safety and comfort. Our dementia and Alzheimer’s care is thoughtful, patient, and specialized. Caring professionals trained in memory care provide gentle redirection, cognitive engagement, and safety monitoring throughout the day and night.
A hospital discharge can feel overwhelming with prescriptions to fill, follow-up appointments to schedule, and recovery instructions to remember. Our transition care helps you or your loved one navigate that journey safely. Live-in support during recovery reduces the risk of hospital readmission by making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Lexington’s unique characteristics create specific challenges for families considering in-home care. Understanding these can help you plan with confidence.
Challenge
What It Looks Like
How We Help
Winter weather and fall risk
What It Looks Like
Icy conditions from December through February increase the risk of falls for elderly people in Lexington, especially in older neighborhoods like Ashland Park and Chevy Chase.
How We Help
A live-in caregiver provides continuous personal care assistance and mobility support, reducing fall risk during dangerous weather.
Challenge
Caregiver workforce instability
What It Looks Like
With industry turnover near 79.2% nationally, families often experience inconsistent caregivers and last-minute schedule changes that leave loved ones without reliable help.
How We Help
We prioritize consistent care through personality-based matching, backup coverage planning, and a commitment to caregiver retention and continuity.
Challenge
Cost confusion around live-in care
What It Looks Like
Many families don’t realize that live-in home care in Lexington (around $7,150 per month) can be more affordable than nursing home placement (around $9,125 per month).
How We Help
We help you understand the true cost of care and explore options. Our focus has always been providing quality care at affordable prices.
Challenge
Coordinating care from a distance
Adult children in other cities worry constantly about a parent’s safety, meals, and health in communities like Hamburg, Versailles, or Georgetown.
How We Help
Our Transparency Room lets families monitor care remotely with real-time updates, visit notes, and schedule access.
Challenge
Navigating hospital discharge alone
Lexington’s major hospital systems (UK HealthCare, Baptist Health, CHI Saint Joseph) discharge patients daily. Without proper support, readmission risk climbs.
How We Help
Our transition care program helps coordinate care after a hospital stay, ensuring recovery stays on track.
Challenge
Maintaining dignity and independence
The fear of losing independence keeps many seniors from accepting help. They worry that asking for assistance means giving up control of their life.
How We Help
We respect your choices and build care around your preferences. Our services exist to support your independence, not replace it.
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.

Several things set us apart:
Over 40 years of experience as a family-run home care company
A rigorous 7-step screening process for every caregiver
Personality-based caregiver matching for consistent care
Our proprietary Transparency Room for real-time family updates
We’re not just providing care. We’re building relationships rooted in integrity, respect, and a commitment to excellent care for every client.
Live-in care means one caregiver stays in your home and provides support throughout the day with rest periods overnight. 24-hour care uses multiple caregivers in shifts for continuous awake coverage. Live-in care works well when overnight needs are minimal. Shift care is better when your loved one requires frequent nighttime assistance. We help you determine the best possible care model during your consultation.
After your initial consultation and assessment, we work quickly to develop personalized care plans and match you with the right caregiver. Most families can begin receiving services within days. The timeline depends on the complexity of your care needs and the caregiver matching process. Call our Lexington office at (859) 800-6237 to discuss your schedule.
If your loved one struggles with daily activities like bathing, cooking, or getting around safely, live-in care may be the right step. Other signs include frequent falls, forgetting meals or medications, increasing loneliness, or a recent hospital stay. You don’t have to wait for a crisis. Planning ahead gives you time to find the right caregiver and build a comfortable routine.
Care doesn’t stop once a caregiver arrives. Our team conducts regular check-ins, adjusts your care plan as needs change, and provides ongoing communication through our Transparency Room portal. Families can view caregiver notes, track visits, access invoices, and even receive voice messages from caregivers. This level of transparency helps families, including those coordinating from out of town, feel connected and confident.
Home care focuses on non-medical support: personal care, companion care, homemaker assistance, and daily living help. Home health typically involves clinical services like physical therapy or post-surgical recovery overseen by medical professionals. Some families also coordinate live-in care alongside hospice or end-of-life care services. Our home care services complement medical care by handling the daily support that keeps your loved one comfortable and safe.
Yes. Our caregivers receive specialized training for memory-related conditions. Live-in care provides the structured routine, safety monitoring, and patient companionship that seniors with dementia need. With the UK Sanders-Brown Center on Aging right here in Lexington, families have access to excellent research and medical resources. Our dementia and Alzheimer’s care provides the daily, hands-on support that complements those clinical resources.
Focus on questions that reveal reliability and quality. Ask about backup coverage when a caregiver is unavailable. Ask how they match caregivers to clients. Find out how they communicate with families and how often they update the care plan. Check whether the agency holds a valid Kentucky Personal Services Agency license. And ask about their screening process. These questions help you identify an agency that delivers excellent service, not just promises.
We serve Lexington and surrounding communities throughout Central Kentucky, including Versailles, Georgetown, Nicholasville, Winchester, and Mount Sterling. Our Lexington-based team understands the local community and can coordinate care across the region. If you’re interested in learning whether we serve your area, please call us at (859) 800-6237 or contact us online. We’re happy to help.
