Why Texas Medical Center Area families choose us for 24-hour & live-in care
Medical Center clients are usually mid-treatment or immediately post-discharge. Typical placement: a cancer patient staying in a Rice/Sunset Coffee House-area rental during radiation at MD Anderson, needing 12-hour daytime companion care between infusions. Or a spouse of a post-surgical Methodist patient who needs a caregiver to shuttle meals, laundry, and prescription pickups from the hospital to the temporary apartment. Our office is 8 minutes away by Kirby; we're often at the discharge desk before the paperwork is done.

What 24-hour & live-in care costs in Texas Medical Center Area
Actual cost depends on hours, acuity, and specific care needs. LTCI (long-term care insurance) offsets a big chunk once activated — we bill LTCI carriers directly. VA Aid & Attendance and some Medicare Advantage plans also apply. A Care Manager visits your Texas Medical Center Area home for 60–90 minutes, builds a plan, and hands you an itemized quote before she leaves. Free, no obligation.
Texas Medical Center Area + 24-hour & live-in care — questions we hear most
What's the difference between 24-hour rotating and live-in care in Texas Medical Center Area?
24-hour rotating means 2–3 caregivers in continuous awake shifts (no sleeping on the job), used for higher-acuity situations — delirium, wandering, or falls risk. Live-in means one caregiver stays overnight in a spare bedroom with an 8-hour uninterrupted sleep window plus meal/rest breaks during the day. Live-in is roughly 30% less expensive. Your Care Manager will recommend based on the acuity assessment.
Can you cover 24-hour care starting tomorrow for a Texas Medical Center Area client?
Almost always yes. We hold a daily reserve of caregiver hours specifically for urgent situations — hospital discharges, family emergencies, sudden acuity changes. Call us today (713-766-0908) and Andrew, Serhat, or a Care Manager picks up. We've done same-day 24-hour starts for Texas Medical Center Area families this week.
How do you prevent caregiver burnout on 24-hour rotating shifts?
The rotating structure itself prevents it — 8 or 12 hour shifts, not 24 straight through. We rotate across a small consistent team (usually 3 caregivers) so the client sees familiar faces and each caregiver stays fresh. Every 24-hour case has a Care Manager doing weekly quality reviews.
We're staying at a hotel/apartment near TMC during my father's cancer treatment. Do you serve short-term rentals and hotels?
Yes. Roughly a third of our TMC-area placements are in short-term stays, Marriotts on Cambridge, apartments in the Museum District, extended-stay properties on Fannin. We handle hotel front-desk visitor protocols, and we keep the same caregiver through the treatment window so no time is lost re-explaining the situation each shift.
Can your caregiver come to a hospital discharge meeting at Methodist or MD Anderson?
Yes, this is one of our most-common Medical Center services. The caregiver (or Care Manager, if it's the first meeting) attends the discharge conversation, takes notes, verifies the medication list with the pharmacy on the way out, and transports the patient home. Andrew (our RN co-owner) reviews the plan the same day.
A Care Manager visits your home, listens, and hands you a plan.
Free 60–90 minute in-home assessment with a Registered Nurse. No pressure to sign anything. If we’re a fit you keep the plan; if we’re not you still get a written care plan you can take to another agency.
