We Serve:
Quin’s commitment to quality senior care grew from personal experience. After watching his own parents navigate aging with cancer, stroke, and heart disease, he saw firsthand how the right caregiver transforms difficult seasons into manageable ones. A close friend’s struggle to find reliable care for her MS deepened his resolve. Today, Quin’s mission is connecting compassionate caregivers with seniors who deserve dignity, independence, and genuine companionship. When he learned about Preferred Care at Home, something woke up inside him: he could make a difference.
Richard discovered his calling at 14, working in an assisted living facility where relationships with residents gave him purpose during uncertain teenage years. After five years in the funeral industry helping families plan ahead, he recognized a gap: widows and widowers returning home alone, facing physical limitations without support. He wanted to own a business that truly helps people, and Preferred Care at Home was the answer. For Richard, this work is about facilitating meaningful connections that enrich both caregiver and client.
Celebrating life, dignity, and independence.
We understand the weight of this decision. Inviting someone into your parent’s home, into their daily routines, their vulnerable moments, requires trust that can’t be manufactured. It must be earned.
Our promise is simple: we will never refer a caregiver we wouldn’t send to our own families. Every professional on our team has passed rigorous screening because your loved one deserves nothing less than exceptional care from people who genuinely want to be there.
Hear directly from families and caregivers about the impact of compassionate, personalized care.
Home care costs in Nashville, TN, vary based on the level of assistance needed and hours of service. Companion and Homemaker Care for a few hours weekly costs less than 24-hour live-in care. We offer flexible scheduling, from one hour to around-the-clock support, so you can build a plan that fits your budget. Contact us for a personalized quote, and we’ll discuss paying for home care options, including private insurance plans, veterans benefits, and Medicare coverage.
Three things set us apart: our 7-step caregiver screening process, personality-based matching, and local ownership. We go further than most Tennessee senior care companies when vetting caregivers. Then we match them to clients based on personality and life experience, not just availability. Plus, Quin and Richard live here and are personally invested in every family we serve. This isn’t a distant corporate franchise. It’s neighbors caring for neighbors.
It depends on what your loved one needs. Companion and Homemaker Care focuses on social interaction, emotional support, meal monitoring, and light housekeeping. It’s ideal for seniors who are physically capable but lonely or need help with household tasks. Personal care adds hands-on assistance with bathing, dressing, mobility, and toileting. Many clients start with companion and homemaker care and transition to personal care as needs change. We’ll help you assess the right fit.
We can often begin services within 24-48 hours of your initial consultation, depending on caregiver availability and the complexity of needs. The process starts with a free phone consultation, followed by an in-home assessment where we meet your loved one, understand their routines, and develop a personalized care plan. We won’t rush the matching process because finding the right caregiver matters more than speed.
Look for signs such as missed medications, weight loss from skipped meals, a cluttered or unclean home, isolation from friends, or difficulty with bathing and dressing. If you’re calling daily to check in, rearranging your schedule for doctor appointments, or worrying constantly about falls, those are signals that support would help. Our free quiz can help you evaluate whether it’s time.
Yes. Our dementia caregivers are specially trained in memory care techniques, safety protocols, and meaningful engagement activities. They understand how to redirect anxiety, stimulate mental awareness through games and conversation, and maintain consistent routines that help clients feel secure. Preferred Care at Home has cared for hundreds of clients with dementia across the nation, and we bring that expertise to every Nashville family.
Absolutely. Our Smooth-Transition Care program is specifically designed for this. A specially trained coach meets you at the hospital, guides you through discharge instructions, and continues to visit you regularly at home. You’ll receive a Personal Health Record to track medications, appointments, and symptoms, plus access to a secure online portal. This program helps prevent the hospital readmissions that affect one in five Medicare patients.
Compatibility matters, which is why we invest heavily in personality matching upfront. But if it’s not working, tell us immediately. We’ll promptly find a new caregiver who’s a better fit, no questions asked, no guilt. Our commitment is to your loved one’s comfort and happiness, and that means being flexible when relationships need adjustment.
Medicare covers skilled home health care (nursing, therapy) under specific conditions, but typically doesn’t cover non-medical personal care or companion services. However, other options exist: veterans may qualify for Aid and Attendance benefits, some private insurance plans include home care coverage, and long-term care insurance often applies. We’ll help you understand your options and connect you with resources to make quality care accessible.
Every caregiver passes our 7-step screening process, including background checks, reference verification, skills assessment, and personality evaluation. But screening is just the start. We provide ongoing training, conduct regular check-ins, and give families access to our Transparency Room portal, where they can monitor care in real time. If a caregiver ever fails to meet our standards, we address it immediately.
