It’s just past eight off Tates Creek Road, and breakfast never happens for your mother. The neighbor checks in, a friend calls, and you still visit on Sunday, but that patchwork stops holding by Wednesday. Preferred Care at Home of Lexington provides companion, homemaker, personal, dementia, Alzheimer’s, respite, live-in, transition, and end-of-life care for older adults, from one local team. Our Lexington office is licensed as a Kentucky personal services agency, PSA500533, covers the neighborhood seven days a week, and matches caregivers by personality first.
Preferred Care at Home of Lexington is the Central Kentucky franchise of a home care agency founded in 1984 by a registered nurse. Our office is conveniently located minutes from the Chevy Chase neighborhood and serves all of Fayette County. Kentucky licenses us as a personal services agency, PSA500533, with no minimum hours and no long-term contract.
Since 1984, we’ve been providing care by referring reliable, compassionate caregivers into the homes of older adults. Our Lexington office is locally owned by Chad Farmer and covers Fayette County plus neighboring Woodford, Scott, and Jessamine counties. Care runs from a few hours weekly to live-in support, and most families pay privately or through long-term care insurance.
We match professional caregivers by personality, daily rhythm, and care needs, with coverage available seven days a week across Fayette County. Every in home caregiver clears a background check and our 7-step screening, and local ownership means we adjust care plans quickly. The Transparency Room portal opens up schedules, caregiver notes, and updates, so family members stay current while independence and health hold 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 Chevy Chase 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.

Care start is usually a matter of days. You call, we assess at home, we build the care plan, and we match a caregiver. Follow up appointments and medication reminders are covered from the first shift after a hospital discharge.
Companion care is hands-off: daily companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and grocery shopping. Personal care is hands-on assistance with bathing, dressing, and mobility, the daily living tasks that need a steady arm.
Cost varies by hours, schedule, and the level of assistance in your care plan. Medicare does not cover non-medical home care, so most families pay privately, while senior living communities and independent living charge a fixed monthly rate. Ask for a free consultation.
Often, yes. Familiar rooms and a steady daily routine reduce confusion, and our memory care training covers cueing and redirection. As dementia care needs grow, we add hours so your loved one can stay safe in their own home.
