The company offers companion care, homemaker services, personal home care assistance, dementia and Alzheimer's care, transition care following hospital discharge, and end-of-life care. Caregivers are available for as little as one hour to around-the-clock services, tailored to each client's needs.
Companion and homemaker care services include meal monitoring, transportation to appointments and social activities, help with minor household tasks, and encouragement to participate in community activities. The company also offers a Smooth-Transition Care program designed to help patients recover at home after hospitalization or nursing home discharge. This program provides a trained coach to guide medication management, schedule follow-up appointments, ensure home safety, and offer emotional support during the recovery period.
For clients with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, specially trained caregivers provide in-home care that allows individuals to remain safely in their homes or the homes of family members. Personal home care assistance covers activities of daily living such as bathing, grooming, hygiene care, dressing, meal preparation, and mobility support including transferring and walking assistance.
End-of-life care services are provided in collaboration with hospice organizations, with caregivers trained to offer comfort, prepare easy-to-eat foods, provide companionship through reading, monitor for discomfort, and handle immediate tasks following a client's passing. Short-term respite care is also available to give family caregivers time to rest or attend to other responsibilities.
Founded in 1984, Preferred Care at Home emphasizes maintaining client independence and dignity while providing compassionate care. The company focuses on developing personalized care plans and matching clients with reliable, experienced caregivers who work to help seniors remain in their homes and continue enjoying hobbies, visiting friends, and participating in their community.
