We Serve:
Northern Colorado has a way of becoming home in the truest sense. The mountains to the west, the open plains stretching east, the tight-knit communities spread across the Front Range from Fort Collins down through Loveland and Windsor. For our ownership team, these communities are not just a service area. They are where we have spent more than 15 years working alongside families, healthcare providers, and long-term care professionals, building relationships that go well beyond a business card.
That depth of experience in the Northern Colorado long-term care and healthcare community shaped everything about how we approach our work with Preferred Care at Home. We have seen what happens when elderly people return home from a hospital without the right support in place. We have sat with families trying to understand their options, often overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. And we have seen the profound difference that the right caregiver, matched carefully and showing up consistently, can make in someone’s daily life.
When the opportunity came to bring Preferred Care at Home’s model to this region, it felt like a natural extension of the work we had already been doing. The company’s values, affordable and compassionate care delivered with dignity, aligned with what we believed families in Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, and the surrounding communities deserved. We also wanted to ensure that Spanish-speaking families in our area could access the same quality of care and the same level of personal attention. Every family, regardless of language, deserves to feel heard and understood.
We are humbled to serve our community and their loved ones. We want each elderly individual and every family member to rest assured in our promise to deliver exceptional care with compassion, respect, and to be by your side, every step of the way.

Preferred Care at Home of Fort Collins, Loveland, and Windsor operates from an office at 1635 Foxtrail Dr in Loveland and has been part of the Northern Colorado long-term care community for more than 15 years.

Awake-and-alert needs use 24-hour shift care; households needing presence with rest periods use live-in care. Twenty-four-hour shift care uses two or three caregivers rotating in shifts so someone is always awake and watching. Live-in care places one caregiver in the home with required rest periods built in, which works when your loved one mostly sleeps through the night but shouldn’t be alone. Cost and fit between the two are very different, and we walk through both during the consultation.
Live-in is one caregiver in the home with required rest; shift care uses multiple caregivers for nonstop awake coverage. A live-in caretaker lives in the home for a multi-day stretch, takes scheduled rest, and provides consistent presence with one familiar face. Shift care rotates two or more caregivers through 8- or 12-hour blocks and is the right call when your loved one needs continuous awake supervision. Preferred Care at Home will help you weigh which one fits the household and budget.
Cost depends on hours, care type, and whether it’s shift or live-in; we walk through pricing during the free consultation. Pricing varies with how many hours per week, what level of care, and whether you choose shift coverage or live-in care . We accept VA benefits, long-term care insurance, Medicaid, and private pay, and we’ll talk through what each option means for your family. The free in-home consultation is the right place to get a real number for your situation.
Non-medical in-home care helps with daily living; home health is clinical and requires a doctor’s order. Non-medical care is what Preferred Care at Home provides: meals, bathing, mobility help, companionship, and household tasks. Home health care is short-term clinical care, like skilled nursing or physical therapy, ordered by a physician and usually paid through Medicare. The two often run side by side after a hospital stay, and we coordinate when both are involved.
Yes, Preferred Care at Home of Fort Collins, Loveland, and Windsor serves families in English and Spanish. Linda Dollar and our team work bilingually from the first phone call through every visit.
