With over 40 years since 1984, our compassionate approach brings peace of mind to families throughout Scott County and Central Kentucky.
Every caregiver on our care team goes through a rigorous 7-step screening process and is matched by personality, not just availability. Our Transparency Room gives family members real-time updates on schedules, caregiver notes, and visit details so you’re never left guessing.

Georgetown families near Georgetown Community Hospital and Baptist Health know how stressful a hospital discharge can be. Our Transition care helps seniors recovering at home manage follow-up appointments, daily routines, and medication reminders. A trained coach guides you through prescriptions, scheduling, and recovery goals. This reduces anxiety for both you and your loved ones during one of life’s most overwhelming transitions.
Loneliness affects many seniors in Scott County, especially those who’ve lost a spouse or live far from family members. Companion care brings conversation, outings, and emotional well being back into your loved one’s daily life. Your caregiver becomes a consistent, familiar face. Together, they share activities, attend appointments, and simply spend time in the comfort of home.
When daily tasks like cooking, cleaning, and laundry start to feel overwhelming, Homemaker care steps in. We help older adults in the Georgetown area maintain a clean, comfortable home without giving up their independence. Meal preparation, grocery shopping, and light housekeeping are handled by a caregiver who already knows your loved one’s preferences. You can focus on family, not chores.

Our Personal care services match you with compassionate caregivers who respect your dignity at every step. From help with daily living activities to transfer assistance and mobility issues, care plans are built around your family’s situation. Adjustments happen as your unique needs change, not on a preset schedule.

Georgetown’s growth, tight housing, and hospital corridor create specific care challenges for local families.
Problem
Description
How We Help
Tight housing limits care options
Description
Scott County’s 1.7% vacancy rate makes relocating a loved one into an assisted living facility harder and more expensive.
How We Help
We provide care in your own home, removing the need for a rushed move during an already stressful time.
Problem
Fall risk rises with age
Description
One in four older adults reports a fall each year. Georgetown’s older neighborhoods with uneven terrain and steep steps add to the risk.
How We Help
Caregivers assist with transfers, mobility, and daily routines so your loved one can remain safe at home.
Problem
Commuter schedules leave care gaps
Description
Georgetown’s 21.5-minute average commute and Toyota’s 10,000-worker complex mean many family members can’t cover daytime care.
How We Help
We fill weekday gaps with flexible scheduling, from occasional help to full-time support, starting at one hour a day.
Problem
Medicare confusion delays action
Description
Many families assume Medicare covers personal care and homemaker services. It does not cover custodial help when that’s the only need.
How We Help
We walk you through what’s covered, what isn’t, and what affordable options exist for your family’s situation.
Problem
Caregiver turnover disrupts trust
Description
Local reviews mention inconsistent caregiver assignments, poor communication, and a “dropped the ball” experience during onboarding.
How We Help
We match caregivers by personality, commit to consistency, and keep your family updated through our Transparency Room portal.
Problem
Post-hospital recovery needs fast support
Description
Discharges from Georgetown Community Hospital or Baptist Health come with follow-up lists, prescriptions, and limited energy to manage them.
How We Help
Our Smooth-Transition Care program assigns a coach who coordinates your recovery steps, appointments, and medication reminders right away.

We combine over 40 years of experience with personality-based caregiver matching and real-time family communication. Every caregiver goes through a rigorous 7-step screening process before entering your home, and we match caregivers to clients by personality and life experience, not just availability. Our Transparency Room portal gives family members real-time access to schedules, notes, and updates from anywhere. That combination of careful screening and open communication is what sets us apart.
Care can often begin within days of your first call. We understand that many families reach out during urgent moments, like after a hospital discharge or a sudden change in physical health. After your initial consultation, we develop personalized care plans and match a caregiver as quickly as possible. Most Georgetown families have a caregiver in place within a few days of calling.
Common signs include difficulty with daily tasks, missed medication reminders, and increased fall risk. Older adults may begin struggling with meal preparation, bathing, or keeping up with daily routines. You might notice weight loss, a cluttered home, or confusion about chronic conditions and prescriptions. If your family is spending more time worried than present, an initial consultation can help clarify the right level of support.
It depends on your family’s situation, but most seniors prefer to stay in their own homes. AARP found that 75% of adults 50 and older want to age at home, and in-home care in Georgetown allows seniors to stay in familiar surroundings while receiving personalized care with daily living tasks, meals, and companionship. Assisted living may be appropriate when 24-hour on-site supervision is required. Kentucky’s median hourly home care rate gives a useful starting point for cost comparison.
Medicare does not cover custodial or personal care when that is the only care needed. Home health services under Medicare require a doctor’s order and an intermittent skilled need, while non-medical home care (companion care, homemaker care, and personal care) is typically private-pay. Kentucky’s Home and Community Based Waiver may cover homemaker and respite care for eligible older adults. We can help you understand your options during a free consultation.
Yes. Our caregivers assist with all of these daily living tasks and more. Caregivers provide compassionate assistance with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and medication reminders as part of your personalized care plan. They also help with mobility issues, light housekeeping, errands, and companionship. Excellent care starts with understanding your loved one’s needs, and each care plan is adjusted as those needs change.
Yes. Most adults with dementia already receive care at home, and Georgetown families have strong local resources nearby. The CDC reports that about 80% of adults with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias receive care at home. We provide specialized care that includes consistent daily routines, safety monitoring, and gentle cognitive engagement. Georgetown’s proximity to UK Sanders-Brown Center on Aging in Lexington also gives families access to one of the nation’s top aging-research centers.
Georgetown, Kentucky, has its own hospitals, neighborhoods, and senior population that generic search results often overlook. Georgetown, KY, has over 40,000 residents, a 75-bed community hospital, a Baptist Health outpatient center, and growing neighborhoods like Cherry Blossom Village and Canewood. Preferred Care at Home serves Georgetown and Scott County from our Lexington office at (859) 800-6237.
Ask about caregiver screening, personality matching, scheduling flexibility, and how the agency communicates with your family. Start by asking how caregivers are screened and how they’re matched to your loved one, then ask about care plan flexibility, scheduling for occasional help or full-time support, and how the provider keeps family members informed. The quality of communication during that conversation tells you a lot about the professional in-home care you can expect. Preferred Care at Home welcomes every question.
