When daily life becomes harder for someone you love, you need home support you can count on. For families across Lexington, KY, Preferred Care at Home provides personal in home care in Lexington that keeps your loved one comfortable and cared for at home.
With over 40 years of experience in home care, Preferred Care at Home is a locally owned home care agency serving families throughout greater Lexington and central Kentucky. Our local office is led by Ethan Guerrieri and a dedicated Lexington team.
What makes us different is how we match caregivers to your family. Every in-home caregiver passes our rigorous 7-step screening process, including background checks and reference checks. Then we match by personality, not just availability. We also believe quality care should be affordable. That’s why we’ve built our reputation on providing compassionate, professional care at prices that don’t force families into impossible choices.
When daily activities like bathing, dressing, or mobility become difficult, personal care services bring compassionate, hands-on support right to your door in Lexington. Our caring professionals assist with hygiene assistance, grooming, toileting, and other daily living tasks. We tailor each visit to what you actually need, so your dignity and independence stay intact.
Loneliness affects many seniors, especially after losing a spouse or when family members live far away. Companion care fills that gap with genuine human connection. Our caregivers bring conversation, accompany you to appointments, and share in activities that make daily life meaningful. It’s about more than supervision. It’s about helping families feel connected.
When light housekeeping, meal preparation, or running errands become overwhelming, homemaker care keeps the home safe and livable without uprooting your life. Our team handles grocery shopping, laundry, tidying, and cooking so you or your loved one can focus on health and well-being. It’s practical home support that makes a real difference.
Coming home from the hospital can be confusing. Prescriptions, follow-up appointments, and recovery instructions pile up fast. Our transition care program sends a trained guide home with you. Lexington’s major hospital systems (including UK Chandler Hospital, Baptist Health, and CHI Saint Joseph) discharge thousands of patients each year. We help you follow through on recovery, so you stay home and out of the hospital.
A dementia or Alzheimer’s diagnosis changes everything for a family. Specialized care from trained caregivers can bring calm, structure, and safety to a challenging situation. Our team provides memory support, behavioral guidance, and cognitive engagement activities in the comfort of your own home. We also help family members understand what to expect and how to cope.
When around-the-clock support is needed, live-in care provides 24-hour supervision and companionship in the privacy of your own home. It’s our specialty, and it’s more affordable than most families expect. We carefully match a consistent caregiver to your loved one based on personality and life experience. That consistency builds trust, comfort, and a sense of real partnership.

Three things set us apart. First, every caregiver completes our rigorous 7-step screening process with background checks and reference checks. Second, we match caregivers to clients by personality. Third, we’re a locally owned branch of a home care company with over 40 years of proven experience, now in its third generation of family leadership.
Home care covers non-medical support like hygiene assistance, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and companionship. Home health services involve clinical tasks ordered by a physician. Many families need home care rather than home health, especially when the goal is maintaining independence with daily activities. We help you understand which care services fit your situation.
Once we complete your consultation and assessment, we can typically begin providing care within days. The Lexington, KY team works quickly to match you with the right caregiver because we understand that when families reach out, the need is often urgent. Your personalized care plan guides every step.
Common signs include difficulty with bathing, dressing, or meal preparation. You might notice a decline in personal hygiene, weight loss, or increased forgetfulness about daily activities. If you’re worrying about a loved one’s safety at home, that concern itself is a strong signal it’s time to explore your options.
Yes. Care doesn’t end when the caregiver arrives. Family members get access to our Transparency Room portal, where they can view schedules, read caregiver notes, track tasks, and even receive voice messages. We continuously adjust your care plan as needs evolve, so the support stays right.
We maintain backup caregiver coverage so you’re never left without support. Staffing reliability is one of the biggest concerns families face (the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 765,800 openings per year in this field through 2034). We plan ahead with trained substitutes who are already familiar with your care plan.
Ask about their screening process, backup coverage policy, and how they handle communication. Find out whether caregivers are matched by personality or just availability. Ask for a written care plan before care begins. And confirm how billing works so there are no surprises. These questions help you find exceptional care and excellent service.
Lexington’s winter months bring ice and snow that make errands, appointments, and even walking to the mailbox risky. For many seniors, this seasonal window is when in-home care becomes essential. Our caregivers help with running errands, meal preparation, and safe companionship so your loved one isn’t stuck alone during bad weather.
Yes. While senior care is our focus, we also serve other adults who need support, including those recovering from surgery, living with disabilities, or managing ongoing health challenges. Our team creates personalized care plans for clients of all ages who want to maintain their quality of life and independence at home.
