Our History
Lois Whitesell, a registered nurse, saw this happen first-hand and recognized a need: Older people simply wanted to stay home. So Lois decided to open a home health-care agency.
Our Mission
For many older people, home is everything. It’s a window to the past, a safe haven for the present and the legacy they long to leave for the next generation.
Since 1984, the husband-and-wife founders of Preferred Care at Home have been helping seniors stay in their homes, happily and safely. Now a nationally franchised but still family-run business, Preferred Care at Home offers high-quality in-home care at affordable rates.
Our one-on-one services are provided when, where and how you want them. They include companionship, meal preparation, hygiene assistance, medication reminders, transportation and more.
Philanthropy
At Preferred Care at Home, we’re passionate about not only helping elderly people but also advocating for them. We recognize the wealth of knowledge and experience they possess. We believe that to be a strong community, we can’t ignore their stories and knowledge. And we’re concerned that elderly people have lost value in our culture. We want to be part of changing that.
Dispelling the Confusion about Home Care
Your family recommended home care. You’ve heard Medicare will pay for it—if you go with a certain kind of agency. What kind’s that? Is it the one you need? What is home care anyway?
Home care actually isn’t as confusing as it seems. You just need to understand a few aspects, and soon, you’ll be on your way to picking the agency that’s right for you.
