Some care needs go beyond a helping hand with daily routines. Your loved one may be recovering from surgery, living with a disability, or managing a ventilator or feeding tube. You need caregivers who understand the medical realities and the emotional weight behind them. Preferred Care at Home of San Antonio North provides specialty care built around the specific conditions your family is facing. Our goal is to make advanced home health services accessible to families across the community, without the wait times common at larger agencies.
North San Antonio is home to a dense corridor of hospitals and clinics near Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, and the greater 281 corridor. Families here are often juggling appointments with a primary care provider, a rehabilitation physician, and specialists in dermatology, neurology, rheumatology, or radiology. Bexar County’s population has grown past 2.1 million. About 13% of residents are 65 or older, a share that keeps rising as the community ages in place.
Jake Paulson own and operate Preferred Care at Home of San Antonio North. When you call, you reach local owners, not a distant call center. Our caregivers are highly trained and screened through our 7-step process, then matched to your loved one by personality and experience, not just availability.
The weeks after childbirth bring their own kind of recovery. Our Mommy Care caregivers provide assistance with household tasks, meal preparation, and newborn support. A new mother can rest, heal, and bond with her baby. This is care for the whole family during a season that deserves more support than it usually gets.
Coming home after surgery often means new instructions from a rehabilitation physician, a fresh set of prescriptions, and a body that needs time to heal. Our caregivers provide assistance with mobility, personal care, and daily tasks during recovery, helping reduce the risk of complications. Many families in San Antonio North begin this service straight from a hospital discharge, when the first few weeks at home matter most.
Living with a disability does not mean giving up independence. Our caregivers provide assistance with daily living activities, transportation, and personal care for adults of any age managing a physical or cognitive disability. Care plans are built around what your loved one can do, so daily life stays as full and connected as possible.
Some patients need a caregiver who understands equipment, not just company. Our specially trained caregivers support clients who rely on a ventilator or feeding tube. They work alongside home health nurses and your care team to keep daily routines safe. Families managing chronic conditions like ALS or COPD often find this support gives them room to breathe again themselves.
Managing chronic conditions in San Antonio North often means keeping track of a range of appointments. A cardiologist for heart health, a rheumatologist for joint pain, or a dermatologist for skin conditions may all be part of the plan. Imaging is often used along the way to diagnose what comes next. Our caregivers provide transportation to these visits and relay updates to family members, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Jake Paulson owns and operates this office himself, and he knows what good care looks like from the inside. That knowledge shapes how this office runs day to day. His standard is simple: the caregiver who comes to your home should be someone you’d trust with your own family.
Jake’s background informs how care plans are built, how caregivers are screened, and what families can expect when they call. This is a non-medical home care office. The care we refer centers on personal assistance, companionship, and the everyday support that makes staying home possible, but having spent decades in healthcare settings changes how you approach building that care.
