Your dad still lives in the Greeley house where you grew up, but the daily rhythm is slipping, and the drive in from Denver or Fort Collins doesn’t feel like enough anymore. Multigenerational households across Weld County are stretching thin, and piecing together help on your own wears the whole family down. Preferred Care at Home, locally owned by Matt and Linda Dollar, brings a full range of non-medical home care services to Greeley CO families who want a parent to continue living at home with dignity.
We specialize in tailored home care services for seniors who want to stay in their own homes, on their own terms. Below is the range of in-home care our team delivers across Greeley and the surrounding Northern Colorado area.
For older adults in quieter Greeley neighborhoods like Kelly Farm, Westmoor, or out toward Evans, the days can get long when family lives in Denver, Fort Collins, or further. Companion care brings real conversation and steady company back into the week.
Visits include companionship, light activities, rides to appointments at Banner North Colorado Medical Center or NCMC, and steady check-ins that protect a senior’s independence and quality of life. This is the kind of support that helps your loved one continue enjoying daily life at home, with someone who actually listens.
When bathing, dressing, or moving safely around the house starts to feel risky, personal care keeps your loved one in their Greeley CO home with hands-on help through the day.
Caregivers trained in mobility and safe transfer techniques handle grooming, toileting, and medication reminders with dignity front and center. This kind of personalized care provides assistance with daily activities while respecting the freedom and independence your parent has spent a lifetime building.
When the daily tasks of running a house start wearing down an aging parent, or when the family caregiver in a multigenerational Greeley home needs a real break, homemaker and respite care keeps the household running without anyone burning out.
Caregivers handle meal prep, light housekeeping, laundry, and errands so routines hold week to week. Respite hours give an exhausted spouse or adult child time to rest, run their own errands, or just step away from caregiving for an afternoon.
Some Greeley elders shouldn’t be alone overnight, but a facility move is the last thing they want. Live-in care puts a 24 hour presence in the home without pulling someone away from the life they’ve built.
One primary caregiver, matched by personality, lives in the home and handles the day’s home care services. For working-class Weld County families weighing affordability, live-in is usually the most affordable around-the-clock option available.
Memory loss reshapes a family, and Greeley households navigating early confusion or mid-stage dementia need caregivers who know what they’re walking into. Dementia care is built for that.
Care is tailored with redirection techniques, steady routines, and safety monitoring as the condition moves forward. Engaging activities and a familiar caregiver help your loved one stay calm in the home they know best.
Alzheimer’s progresses, and the support a family needs in year one looks nothing like year four. Our Alzheimer’s care shifts with the condition so Greeley families never have to start over with a new agency.
Caregivers handle wandering risk, sundowning, and the personal care that becomes harder as the disease advances. Family education is built in, because the people closest to your loved one need to understand what’s coming next.
After a stay at Banner North Colorado Medical Center, UCHealth Greeley Hospital, or NCMC, the first 48 hours home are when readmissions happen. Transition care steps in there.
Caregivers handle medication reminders, meal prep, mobility around the house, and follow-up appointment transportation through the recovery window. For patients recovering from illness or surgery, this compassionate support reduces readmission risk and helps families avoid an unnecessary nursing home stay.
Preferred Care at Home of Fort Collins, Loveland, and Windsor is locally owned by Matt and Linda Dollar, working under Colorado license 04K406. Our office is based in Loveland, about 25 minutes west, and we proudly serve Greeley, Evans, Windsor, and the rural stretches of Weld County every day.
Matt and Linda bring more than 15 years inside Northern Colorado’s long-term care community, so we read Banner and UCHealth discharge workflows fluently. Our caregivers are personality-matched through a 7-step screening, and we serve Greeley families in both English and Spanish, which matters in a city with such a strong Hispanic and Latino population. We are proud to be a home care agency that families recommend to their neighbors.
Affordability matters in Greeley CO, and we know it. We accept VA benefits (including Aid and Attendance), Colorado Medicaid, long-term care insurance, and private pay, and we walk through every payment path during the in-home consultation so there are no surprises later. For adult children watching from Denver or out of state, our Transparency of Care portal gives 24/7 visibility into caregiver notes, completed tasks, and invoices, so remote family members never feel out of the loop. See our full range of home care services to learn more.
Our mission is straightforward: protect dignity, support quality of life, and help seniors continue living in the homes and neighborhoods they love. That mission shapes every care plan we write and every caregiver we send through the door.

Yes, we serve Greeley and the surrounding Weld County communities daily from our Northern Colorado office.
Our office in Loveland covers Greeley, Evans, Windsor, Eaton, Johnstown, Milliken, and the rural stretches of Weld County. Matt and Linda Dollar own the location and serve Greeley families in both English and Spanish. Call (970) 590-7608 to reach our team directly and start your home care journey.
We offer companion, homemaker, respite, personal, dementia, Alzheimer’s, transition, live-in, end-of-life, and specialty care across Greeley CO.
Most Greeley families start with companion care or personal care, depending on whether the need is social and light household support or hands-on help with bathing and dressing. Dementia, live-in, and post-hospital transition care are common next steps as needs shift. We also coordinate with home health agencies when patients need skilled nursing or therapy services alongside our non-medical home care.
You book a free in-home consultation, we build an individualized care plan together, match a caregiver, and care starts.
The in-home consultation happens at your loved one’s home in Greeley, usually with Matt or a care coordinator. After that, we write the plan, pick the best-fit caregiver, and schedule the first visit. For post-discharge situations, care can often start within 24 to 48 hours of leaving the hospital. Clients receive access to the Transparency Room portal from day one for added security and peace of mind.
Home care covers non-medical daily support; home health services cover skilled medical care ordered by a physician.
Our agency provides non-medical in home care in Greeley: personal care, companion care, homemaker help, dementia support, and transition care. Home health services are a separate, physician-ordered service, usually short-term and delivered by licensed clinicians who provide nursing or therapy. Some Greeley families use both at once, with different providers covering different needs.
Medicare generally does not cover non-medical in-home care, but several other payment paths are available.
Medicare covers skilled, physician-ordered home health, not custodial personal care or companionship. For in home care in Greeley, most families use private pay, long-term care insurance, VA benefits (including Aid and Attendance), or Colorado Medicaid. We walk through every payment path during the consultation so there are no surprises, and bilingual support is available throughout the conversation.
Care can often begin within 24 to 48 hours of a Greeley-area hospital discharge.
After a stay at Banner North Colorado Medical Center, UCHealth Greeley Hospital, or NCMC, our team can mobilize transition care quickly. A short consultation at the hospital or home sets the plan, and a caregiver is on site for the first critical days of recovery. This matters most for patients transitioning from skilled nursing facilities or recovering from illness or surgery, when the risk of readmission is highest.
