Why Tanglewood families choose us for 24-hour & live-in care
Tanglewood's typical client lives in a mid-century estate on Old Course, Sylvester, or Riverbend, deed-restricted community, mature trees, established neighbors. Placements often start with post-surgical recovery (a hip replacement, a heart procedure at Methodist) and continue as long-term personal care. Our caregivers know how to enter Tanglewood without the guard-house friction (guest passes handled by our office), and the same caregiver stays with the family for months so the neighbors and household staff recognize her.

What 24-hour & live-in care costs in Tanglewood
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 Tanglewood home for 60–90 minutes, builds a plan, and hands you an itemized quote before she leaves. Free, no obligation.
Tanglewood + 24-hour & live-in care — questions we hear most
What's the difference between 24-hour rotating and live-in care in Tanglewood?
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 Tanglewood 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 Tanglewood 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.
Our home is inside Tanglewood's guarded gates. How do you handle guest passes for daily caregivers?
Our office coordinates with the Tanglewood guardhouse directly. On day one we submit the caregiver's name, vehicle, license plate, and long-term parking pass request. For the first week we send a Care Manager along with the caregiver so the guardhouse recognizes them together. After that, entry is seamless.
Can your caregiver take our parent to the Houstonian Club or to a Tanglewood Boulevard neighbor's home for social visits?
Yes, social continuity is one of the most important things we protect in Tanglewood. The Houstonian, River Oaks Country Club, and Tanglewood social events are on the caregiver's radar. She drives, stays present if invited, and waits nearby if the family prefers privacy for the visit.
