Preferred Care at Home of Lexington

Preferred Care at Home of Lexington provides in-home care services in Lexington, Kentucky, serving seniors who wish to remain in their own homes while receiving personalized support. The locally owned agency draws on over 40 years of experience in the senior care industry and operates across Central Kentucky communities including Georgetown, Nicholasville, Versailles, Winchester, Mount Sterling, and Ford.

The agency offers a comprehensive range of care services tailored to individual needs, including personal care with bathing and dressing assistance, companion care featuring conversation and engaging activities, homemaker services covering light housekeeping and meal preparation, specialized dementia and Alzheimer's care, post-hospital discharge support, and end-of-life care coordinated with hospice providers. Live-in caregiver services provide 24-hour presence for those requiring round-the-clock assistance.

A core distinguishing feature of the service is the caregiver matching process. Every in-home caregiver completes a rigorous 7-step screening process before entering a client's home, and caregivers are matched to clients based on personality and life experience rather than mere availability. This approach aims to provide consistency and reduce the experience of unfamiliar faces at each visit. The agency maintains a Transparency Room that provides families with real-time updates on care from any location.

The agency emphasizes personalized care planning during an initial home assessment where staff learn about the client's daily routine and preferences. Care plans can adjust as needs change, with the local Lexington team checking in regularly and allowing schedule or service modifications at any time. Backup coverage planning ensures consistent caregiver presence without interruption of care.

Hospital-to-home support is available for those recovering from procedures at facilities such as UK Chandler Hospital or Baptist Health Lexington, with trained caregivers managing discharge instructions, medication reminders, and follow-up appointments during critical recovery days. The agency also addresses fall prevention through safety-focused routines and mobility support, recognizing that winter ice and summer humidity in Lexington increase fall risks for older adults aging at home.
