At home

He is at home.

Is the sentence correct, please?

I have read that 'home does not take preposition'.

Thanks.

It's correct. 'Home' often does not take a preposition, but it does here. Is Dad home yet?

When talking about someone being present at their residence, "He is home" and "He is at home" are both OK and mean the same.

"He is home" can also mean "He has just arrived home", which "He is at home" cannot. "Honey, I'm home!" is a clichéd greeting said by a husband to his wife on returning home from work.
