Watching a loved one struggle with loneliness or everyday tasks can feel overwhelming. Nashville families face this challenge daily, wondering how to help parents and grandparents stay safe and connected without losing their independence. Preferred Care at Home provides compassionate Companion and Homemaker Care throughout Middle Tennessee, supporting seniors to thrive in their own homes while building meaningful relationships with dedicated caregivers.
Since 1984, Preferred Care at Home has served Nashville and Middle Tennessee families with quality senior care services. Our team includes Certified Senior Advisors who understand the unique needs of aging adults. We provide in-home Companion and Homemaker Care throughout Davidson, Sumner, Williamson, Wilson, and Rutherford counties.
What sets us apart is our commitment to matching caregivers with clients by personality, not just availability. We only refer professionals we would trust with our own families. Our focus on affordable, reliable, and compassionate care means families can rest easy knowing their loved one receives quality care without financial strain.
Our Companion and Homemaker Care services keep Nashville seniors connected to life beyond their front door. Whether it is attending social events at local community centers, visiting with neighbors and friends, or participating in recreational activities, our caregivers make it happen. Loneliness prevention starts with meaningful human connection.
Our dedicated caregivers encourage your loved one to participate in community activities that matter to them. From religious services at Nashville area churches to sporting events and club meetings, we help older adults maintain the social connections that keep life engaging and fulfilling.
Too often, aging brings a sense of isolation. Family members pass on, friends move away, and daily routines shrink. Our compassionate Companion and Homemaker Care addresses this directly through genuine human connection. Caregivers engage in conversation, reminisce about the past, discuss current events, and simply spend quality time together.
Research from the National Institute on Aging links social isolation to serious health risks. Our approach combines compassionate presence with practical help, helping seniors feel safe while maintaining their dignity and independence. Playing games, watching movies together, or working on crafts gives each day purpose and joy.
Proper nutrition becomes challenging when cooking feels overwhelming or grocery shopping seems impossible. Our caregivers provide meal preparation that keeps your loved one healthy and well fed. We monitor eating patterns, inspect food expiration dates, and prepare nutritious meals tailored to dietary needs.
Beyond just cooking, we assist with grocery shopping, prepare grocery lists, and even prepare meals for future use. This personalized care ensures seniors maintain proper nutrition without the stress of managing it on their own. Our approach to meal monitoring protects your loved one’s health while respecting their preferences.
Nashville traffic and sprawling suburbs make getting around difficult for seniors who no longer drive. Our caregivers provide transportation to doctor appointments, the pharmacy, religious services, and social outings throughout the Nashville area. Your loved one maintains their independence while staying safe on the road.
Transportation services extend beyond medical needs. We help clients attend plays, concerts, lunch dates, and visits with friends. Running errands like grocery shopping or picking up prescriptions becomes simple with a caring companion. Our team handles the driving so your loved one can focus on enjoying life.
Everyday tasks that were once simple can become overwhelming with age. Our Companion and Homemaker Care includes light housekeeping, laundry assistance, and help with minor tasks around the home. Our homemaker care services complement Companion and Homemaker Care perfectly for comprehensive support.
From maintaining a calendar and arranging appointments to mailing letters and helping select clothes, we handle the details that keep daily living manageable. Medication reminders ensure prescriptions are taken on schedule. This practical help allows seniors to maintain their independence while receiving the assistance they need.
