Hamburg’s east-Lexington layout spreads families across miles of subdivisions, with a parent who’s still in the family home but managing daily tasks alone. Companionship, personal care, transportation to Baptist Health, and memory support tend to show up at the same time. Solving them piecemeal turns scheduling into a second job. Preferred Care at Home of Lexington covers all of it as non-medical in home care for seniors and older adults across Hamburg and east Lexington.
Preferred Care at Home of Lexington is locally owned and operates from 110 W. Vine St in central Lexington. We hold Kentucky license PSA500533 and have served Hamburg and Fayette County families since 1984. The agency is a three-generation home care legacy built on matching caregivers by personality, not just availability.
What sets the work apart is personality-based pairing: every caregiver clears a 7-step screening process before entering a home, and the same caregiver shows up across visits when scheduling allows. Our local team stays accountable to the families we serve across Hamburg, Hamburg Hills, Hamburg, Chevy Chase, and the rest of Fayette County. Call (859) 800-6237 to confirm coverage for your specific address.
Quality in-home care begins with the right caregiver match. Our 7-step screening process includes rigorous background checks and ongoing training, with caregivers matched by personality and routine — not just availability — so the same familiar face arrives for visits across Hamburg, Hamburg Hills, Hamburg, Chevy Chase, Ashland Park, and Hartland. That continuity matters when families are easing into help at home or coordinating care for a parent who has lived in the same Hamburg home for decades.
We assess your environment and assist with mobility to reduce fall risks, helping seniors maintain independence while staying safe through Lexington winters and on stairs in older Hamburg homes.
Our caregivers provide medication reminders and help track complex prescription schedules, ensuring nothing is missed.
Companion and Homemaker Care brings social interaction, conversation, and connection to community activities that enhance quality of life.
From doctor appointments to grocery shopping, we provide reliable transportation so your loved one stays engaged with life across Hamburg and Fayette County.
Caring for a loved one is rewarding but demanding. Our respite care services give family members essential breaks to recharge while knowing their loved one receives compassionate, professional care.
Meal preparation services ensure seniors enjoy nutritious, appealing meals without the burden of shopping and cooking.
Step 01
One conversation with our office to describe what is happening at home. We listen to your concerns, talk through what your loved one needs help with this week, and answer your questions about in-home care services in Hamburg and across Fayette County.
Step 02
We meet at the home, listen, walk through routines, and build a care plan together. The visit is at no cost — we walk through the layout of your Hamburg home (stairs, hallways, bathrooms), assess daily-living needs, and outline a customized care plan tailored to your loved one and family schedule.
Step 03
We pair your loved one with a caregiver chosen for personality fit, not just availability. Every caregiver has cleared our 7-step screening process. The same familiar face shows up across visits when scheduling allows, which matters most when easing a parent into accepting help at home.
Step 04
Care starts. We check in, adjust hours, and swap the caregiver if the fit feels off. As life changes — a hospital discharge, a new diagnosis, a longer trip away — we scale up from a few hours a week to daily visits or live-in coverage. Booked as needed, no minimum-hour contract.
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.
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.
Hamburg, Hamburg Hills, Andover, and the rest of Fayette County are all on our regular coverage map. Preferred Care at Home of Lexington serves Hamburg, Hamburg Hills, and the rest of Fayette County, plus Georgetown, Nicholasville, and Versailles. Caregivers reach Hamburg from our office at 110 W. Vine St in central Lexington. Call (859) 800-6237 to confirm coverage for your specific address.
Six services cover the non-medical range: companion, personal, dementia, transition, live-in, and respite care. Companion care services handle social engagement and household help, while daily living assistance at home provides hands-on bathing, dressing, and mobility support. Memory care at home adds specialized memory support, with live-in and respite care rounding out the options.
Call (859) 800-6237 and we will set up a free in-home consultation, usually within a few days. Getting started begins with a phone call. The office talks through what is happening at home, then schedules an in-home visit at no cost. After that, we build a care plan and match a caregiver. Most Hamburg families have care running within a week.
In-home care is non-medical daily-living help; home health is medical care ordered by a doctor. In-home care covers companionship, bathing, meal prep, medication reminders, and supervision — none of it medical. Home health covers nursing care visits, wound care, and therapy ordered through a doctor and often paid by Medicare. Hamburg families usually need the non-medical side first; the two can run alongside each other when needed.
Transition care from Preferred Care at Home can typically begin within 24 hours of discharge. Hospital discharges from UK Albert B. Chandler, Baptist Health Lexington, or CHI Saint Joseph often happen faster than families expect. Transition care covers the first days home: meal prep, medication reminders, watching for warning signs, helping with mobility. This support helps a patient adjust safely to being home after surgery or a longer stay.
Most Hamburg families start with a few hours a week and adjust from there. Visits can be as short as a few hours, scheduled once a week, several times a week, or daily. There is no minimum-hour contract for ongoing care. Many families begin with companion care two or three times a week, then add hours or move to personal care as the situation changes.
