You called Mom at six on Tuesday, the mail stayed in the box, and dinner never happened. A neighbor checks in, a friend drives her to appointments, and still the week comes apart. Preferred Care at Home of Lexington offers companion and homemaker care, personal care, dementia care, Alzheimer’s care, live-in care, transition care, respite care, and end-of-life care, all from one local team. Our Lexington office (LIC #PSA500533) covers Beaumont Center and Fayette County seven days a week, and caregiver matching starts with personality, not the schedule.
We’re the Lexington franchise of a family home care agency founded in 1984 by a registered nurse. Our Lexington office serves Beaumont Center, neighboring Firebrook, and communities across Fayette County. Caregivers clear background checks, we carry LIC #PSA500533, and there’s no minimum hours requirement or long-term contract.
Since 1984 we’ve referred caregivers into homes, and three generations of one family have built that proven track record. Chad Farmer owns this locally owned Lexington office, and his team stands behind compassionate care across Fayette County. Care runs from a few hours weekly to full live-in support, billed privately, with VA benefits often applying.
We handle caregiver matching by personality, daily rhythm, and care needs, and our dedicated staff covers this area seven days a week. Our professional caregivers clear background checks and our 7-step screening, and families here describe a positive experience with caring professionals who deliver exceptional care. Our Transparency Room portal keeps family members current on schedules and notes, so your loved one holds onto dignity and independence at home.
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 Beaumont Center 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.
Step 01
There’s no script and no commitment, and you don’t need a diagnosis or a discharge order to make the call. The free consultation covers what worries you most, what help looks like, and what it costs.
Step 02
A care manager comes to the house and walks the rooms with you, checking the shower, the stairs, the kitchen, and the medicine cabinet. We build personalized care plans from what we see, not a template.
Step 03
We match on personality, language, and the needs written into the care plan, not just who is free that morning. Your family members meet the right person before the first shift begins.
Step 04
Most families start home care services within a few days of the assessment, sometimes sooner. From day one you have portal access to schedules, caregiver notes, and daily updates, whether you live a half mile away or in another state.
Our team lives and works in Lexington communities alongside the families we serve. When you call, you reach neighbors who understand Lexington.
We Serve:
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. Our Lexington office is conveniently located for Beaumont Center families and covers the neighborhood seven days a week, holidays included. In home care here runs from a few hours a visit to live-in coverage, and many Lexington families start with two mornings a week.
Our home care services are non-medical, so we don’t provide medical services or home health nursing. We offer Companion and Homemaker Care, Personal Care Services, Dementia Care, Alzheimer’s Care, Live-in Care, Transition Care, Respite Care, and End of Life Care. Your in home caregiver helps with daily living, medication reminders, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and grocery shopping.
A phone call, an in-home consultation, caregiver matching, then the first shift, and many families move through the whole process within a few days. After a hospital discharge from Baptist Health or Saint Joseph Hospital, we move faster and coordinate follow up appointments with your healthcare professionals. CHI Saint Joseph Health discharge teams set the clock, and we work to it.
Companion care stays hands-off: daily companionship, engaging activities, errands, and someone there through the quiet hours. Personal care is hands-on help when bathing, dressing, and mobility require assistance. Families often add the second as needs grow, and strong relationships form either way.
Cost depends on hours, level of personal assistance, and whether coverage is hourly or live-in. Medicare pays for home health and medical care, not non-medical senior care at home. Families here use private pay or VA benefits, and a free consultation gives real numbers.
Yes. Our caregivers are trained in memory care, hold the daily routine steady, and keep evenings calm in familiar surroundings to reduce confusion. Our Alzheimer’s care plans add overnight supervision, and we adjust care plans as health issues and Alzheimer’s disease progress.
It depends on what your loved one wants. Senior living communities offer independent living, all day dining, outdoor spaces, and new friends, plus good food without the cooking. In home care keeps them in their own home, in a supportive environment built around person centered care.
Respite care runs in scheduled blocks when family caregivers need extra support, and live-in coverage handles overnight hours. Our staff members plan backup coverage, so a missed shift never leaves you without help. Families here describe excellent service and absolutely recommend us, and standard message and data rates apply if you text the office.
