Your mom still wants her own kitchen, her own porch, her own Copperfield routine, but the stairs are getting tricky and you can’t be there every afternoon. Sorting companion visits, household help, dementia support, and post-hospital recovery agency by agency just stacks the stress higher. Preferred Care at Home of Lexington is locally owned, Kentucky-licensed (PSA #PSA500533), and brings all of it under one roof for seniors and their families.
Preferred Care at Home of Lexington is locally owned by Chad Farmer, who ran a Preferred Care at Home branch in South Florida for over a decade before opening here. Our office sits at 110 W. Vine St in downtown Lexington. We’re a Kentucky-licensed Personal Services Agency (PSA #PSA500533) and part of the Preferred Care at Home network founded in 1984.
We match caregivers by personality rather than by availability, every caregiver clears our 7-step screening with background checks, and owner Chad Farmer stays directly involved instead of routing your call through a corporate center. The Transparency Room online portal lets families see and manage care details as the plan unfolds.
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 on our team meets our high standards for compassion, reliability, and skill.
We take time to understand your loved one’s personality, preferences, and unique needs before thoughtfully matching them with a caregiver who shares compatible interests and values. Our consistent team approach means you’ll work with dedicated care professionals who provide ongoing education, regular supervision, and care plan adjustments as needs change.
A parent coming home from UK Albert B. Chandler Hospital, Baptist Health Lexington, or CHI Saint Joseph after surgery rarely needs a clinical home-health order—they need someone in the house who knows what the discharge paperwork said. Our Transition Care handles medication reminders, light meals, safe movement, and transportation to follow-up appointments, briefing family after each shift.
Companion care is regular, social, at-home time for an elderly parent who lives alone or whose spouse can no longer drive. We bring conversation, hobbies, walks when weather allows, errand company, and a shared meal—the same caregiver week after week, because a stranger every visit defeats the point.
Some Copperfield parents are sharp and steady but the house has gotten ahead of them. Our Homemaker Care handles meals, laundry, light housekeeping, and grocery runs during the week—dietary preferences honored, linens changed—so when you visit you can be family again instead of cleanup crew.
Bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and moving safely from bed to chair are where dignity gets quiet and risky if a parent is alone. Our Personal Care provides hands-on help from caregivers trained in transfer technique and bathroom safety, working around your parent’s routine.
In-home dementia and Alzheimer’s care supports a parent who is still safe at home with the right help in place—it isn’t memory-care placement, and it often buys real time. Caregivers receive specialized training in redirection, routine, sundowning support, and family communication, and document changes shift to shift as the disease progresses.
When a parent shouldn’t be alone overnight but isn’t ready for an assisted living facility, our Live-In Care is often the answer. One caregiver covers extended shifts with built-in sleep and meal breaks, and a small rotation keeps continuity—usually more affordable than a facility’s monthly fee, in your parent’s own bed.

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.
Yes. Preferred Care at Home of Lexington provides non-medical in-home care to families in Copperfield and across Lexington-Fayette County. Our office is at 110 W. Vine St, Suite 300 downtown, and we’re a Kentucky-licensed Personal Services Agency (PSA #PSA500533). Call 859-800-6237 and a real person from our local office will pick up.
We offer companion, homemaker, personal, dementia, Alzheimer’s, respite, live-in, and transition care across Lexington. Families often start with Companion and Homemaker Care when the issue is loneliness or unmanageable household tasks, then add daily-living assistance when bathing, dressing, or mobility become harder.
Call our Lexington office at 859-800-6237 and a real person answers. We come out for a free in-home consultation, usually within a few days, and walk the rooms your parent uses most. From there we build the schedule, match the caregiver by personality, and same-week starts are often possible.
In-home care brings caregivers to your parent’s house; assisted living moves your parent into a residential facility. In-home care fills specific gaps—cooking, driving, bathing—without moving your parent out of the house they’ve lived in for years. Assisted living makes sense when the house itself is no longer workable.
Dementia home care brings trained support into your parent’s home; memory care is a residential program in a facility. In-home care fits when a parent is still safe at home with help in place and family wants to delay placement; memory care fits when wandering risk or overnight safety exceed what a home setup can manage.
Costs vary by service type and hours, and we provide a transparent quote during your free in-home consultation. Total weekly hours drive the figure more than anything else, and around-the-clock care often costs less than assisted living for similar coverage. Call 859-800-6237—there’s no charge and no commitment.
