About Us

Home Care Services in Lexington, Kentucky

Since 2008, Family Choice Home Care has helped families across Central Kentucky manage the everyday challenges of aging, illness, and recovery. As a locally owned agency, we treat every client as an individual. Learn who we are and what we stand for.

Who We Are

Family Choice Home Care was founded in 2008 as a locally owned personal care agency, built to serve families throughout the Bluegrass region and beyond. We are not a franchise, which means every client receives individual attention rather than a standardized service plan handed down from a corporate office.

Our agency is still owned and operated by Sybil Forsythe, MS CCC/SLP, whose clinical background spans home health, skilled nursing and rehab, hospital and acute care, and long term care settings, working directly with elderly and disabled individuals throughout her career, including specialized experience in Alzheimer’s care, geriatrics, and neurological conditions.

That clinical foundation shapes how we approach care today. Beyond personal care, we also provide outpatient and contract rehabilitation therapy, including speech language pathology, physical therapy, and occupational therapy, giving us a deeper understanding of the challenges that follow a stroke, hospitalization, joint replacement, or Parkinson’s disease. That insight helps us build more personalized care plans that support real recovery, so families can keep their loved ones safely and comfortably at home.

We also welcome healthcare facilities in need of short term or long term therapy support to reach out and learn how our contract therapy team can help, an area of care many home care agencies simply cannot offer.

Mission and Vision Statement

Every client we serve deserves care rooted in respect, kindness, and compassion. Our mission is to remain a dependable source of non-medical home care for our community, using thoughtful, up to date approaches to help clients continue living well in their own homes. That commitment is reinforced by regular third party client satisfaction surveys through Home Care Pulse, which have helped earn Family Choice recognition as a Best of Home Care Provider of Choice in both 2022 and 2023.

Our Caregivers

Every Caregiver Is Trained, Trusted, and Clinically Guided

Our caregivers are carefully selected and prepared to support clients facing a wide range of conditions and needs. Because our agency was founded by a licensed speech language pathologist, our approach to caregiving is shaped by real clinical experience, not just customer service training.

Families working with us also gain access to therapy expertise that many home care agencies simply do not offer, giving every care plan an added layer of professional insight. We know what matters most to families: knowing their loved one is safe, supported, and able to stay independent at home. Our care helps reduce fall risks, supports recovery after illness or surgery, and gives seniors the confidence to keep doing what they love—all while giving families the peace of mind they deserve.

What Makes Our Caregivers Different

The goal behind all of this is simple, helping your loved one recover more fully, stay safer at home, and hold onto their independence for as long as possible.

  • Free Therapy Consultations: Every client can request a complimentary speech, physical, or occupational therapy screening, with direct feedback for both families and caregivers.
  • Independent Quality Reviews: Our services are regularly evaluated through third party client satisfaction surveys conducted by Home Care Pulse.
  • 18 Years of Local Experience: As a stable, locally owned agency, we have served Central Kentucky families for nearly two decades.
  • Specialized Condition Training: Our caregivers are trained to support clients managing dementia, stroke recovery, Parkinson’s disease, joint replacement recovery, fall risk, swallowing disorders, 24 hour care needs, respiratory illness, and communication disorders.
  • Flat Rate Live-In Savings: Our flat rate live-in care option can save families up to $10 an hour compared to standard hourly billing elsewhere.
  • Ongoing Clinical Oversight: Licensed and certified physical therapists, speech language pathologists, and occupational therapists continue to monitor client progress over time.

We Believe In:

  • Hiring caregivers who treat clients like family, not assignments
  • Supporting our staff so they can fully show up for the families they serve
  • Listening closely to each client’s changing needs over time
  • Staying involved in the Central Kentucky communities we serve
  • Operating with full transparency in how we run our agency
  • Holding every caregiver to the same high clinical standard we’d want for our own families
