Peace of mind. It’s so often an elusive dream for families with elderly parents in Nashville and for elderly people themselves. When you’re worried about a loved one living alone, or when managing daily tasks becomes overwhelming, the thought of leaving home feels unbearable. That’s why Preferred Care at Home has always been known best for our 24-hour peace-of-mind service called live-in care.
Preferred Care at Home has served Middle Tennessee families since 1984, bringing over 40 years of proven expertise in compassionate home care services. Our Nashville locations understand the unique needs of Tennessee families seeking quality care for their loved ones. We’re not a corporate chain but a family-run business now in its third generation of home care professionals.
What sets us apart is our commitment to affordable quality care without compromise. Every caregiver undergoes our rigorous 7-step screening process. We match caregivers to clients based on personality and experience, not just availability. Plus, our proprietary Transparency Room technology gives families real-time access to schedules, caregiver notes, and updates.
Home is where memories have been made, and are still being created. Our live-in care services help you or your loved ones stay there with dignity and independence.

Live-in care costs in Nashville typically range from $250-$350 per day, significantly less than assisted living facilities which average $4,000-$6,000 monthly. Cost depends on the level of care needed, caregiver experience, and specific services required. We provide free in-home consultations to assess your unique needs and offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Our specialty has always been cost-effective live-in services, providing 24-hour peace of mind at prices more affordable than most families imagine.
We’ve served Nashville families for over 40 years, not just as a corporate presence, but with founders still actively involved in operations today. Our rigorous 7-step screening process ensures every caregiver is background-checked, skills-assessed, and personality-matched to your needs. Unlike many Nashville home care agencies, we offer proprietary Transparency Room technology giving families real-time access to schedules and caregiver notes. We’re a family-operated business, now in our third generation, committed to providing quality care at truly affordable prices.
Live-in care works best when you need around-the-clock supervision, have complex care needs, or want consistent companionship throughout the day and night. Visiting home health services (a few hours daily) suit those needing help with specific tasks like meal preparation, medication reminders, or light housekeeping but who remain independent otherwise. If you’re concerned about safety overnight, managing dementia, or preventing hospital readmission, live-in care typically provides better peace of mind. We help Nashville families evaluate which option fits their specific needs and budget during our free consultation.
We typically begin care within 3-7 days of your initial contact, though we can often accommodate shorter notice for urgent situations. The timeline includes an in-home consultation to assess needs, development of your personalized care plan, and careful matching with the right caregiver for your personality and requirements. For families facing hospital discharge or immediate safety concerns, we prioritize quick starts while maintaining our commitment to quality caregiver matching. Our Nashville offices work efficiently to provide the support you need when you need it.
If you’re noticing your mom struggling with daily tasks like bathing, meal preparation, or medication management, it’s worth getting an assessment. Other signs include frequent falls, weight loss, missed appointments, confusion, or increasing isolation and loneliness. If you’re worried about her safety when you’re not there, or if you’re experiencing caregiver burnout from constant concern, live-in care can provide the support she needs while preserving her independence at home. Many Nashville families wait too long, addressing care needs sooner often prevents crises and hospital stays.
Yes. Once care begins, families have 24/7 access to our Transparency Room portal for real-time updates, schedules, and communication with caregivers. Our Nashville team provides ongoing monitoring and adjustments to your care plan as needs change. We guarantee caregiver consistency and offer replacement if the match isn’t right. While we don’t offer traditional “warranties” like a product, we provide continuous quality oversight, regular check-ins, and immediate response to concerns. Our commitment extends beyond the initial placement. We’re your long-term partner in care.
Our live-in care services include 24-hour supervision, personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility support), medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, companionship, and emergency response availability. Caregivers help with activities of daily living while providing the emotional support and safety monitoring that brings peace to Nashville families. Services are customized to your individual needs through personalized care plans. Whether you need dementia care, post-hospital recovery support, or general assistance with daily living, our dedicated caregivers adapt to what matters most to you.
Absolutely. Every caregiver undergoes our comprehensive 7-step screening process including criminal background checks, reference verification, skills assessments, and personality evaluations. Our trained caregivers complete ongoing education in senior care, dementia support, and safety protocols. Many hold certifications as CNAs or HHAs. We don’t just hire warm bodies. We carefully select compassionate, experienced professionals who genuinely care about the seniors they serve. This rigorous vetting process is one reason Nashville families trust us as their home care company of choice.
Yes. We understand family caregivers need breaks to recharge and avoid burnout. Our flexible scheduling accommodates respite care for a few hours, several days, or over a week. Your loved one receives the same quality, compassionate care from our trusted caregivers while you take time for yourself, handle work commitments, or simply rest. Many Nashville families use our services periodically for respite, then transition to regular care as needs increase. We’re here to support both you and your mother or father in whatever way helps most.
We match caregivers based on personality compatibility, life experience, shared interests, and your specific care requirements, not just who’s available. During your consultation, we learn about your hobbies, preferences, daily routines, and what matters most to you. Then we thoughtfully pair you with caregivers whose personalities and backgrounds align with yours. This creates genuine connections, reduces turnover, and ensures you receive care from someone who truly understands and respects you. It’s one of our primary differentiators and why Nashville families experience such wonderful relationships with our dedicated caregivers.
