Why West University Place families choose us for 24-hour & live-in care
West U's typical client is a long-time homeowner in a 1940s bungalow on Case, Auden, or Werlein, kids grew up here, moved a few blocks away, now the parent needs help with bathing and evening meals. We staff 4-hour morning-and-evening splits with a caregiver who parks in the driveway (no street permit hassles), knows the West U trash-day rhythm, and can drop off/pick up prescriptions at the Kelsey-Seybold on University without a car swap.

What 24-hour & live-in care costs in West University Place
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 West University Place home for 60–90 minutes, builds a plan, and hands you an itemized quote before she leaves. Free, no obligation.
West University Place + 24-hour & live-in care — questions we hear most
What's the difference between 24-hour rotating and live-in care in West University Place?
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 West University Place 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 West University Place 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.
Do you serve West U's 77005 ZIP specifically, or just the general Rice Village area?
77005 specifically, every home inside the West University Place municipal boundary from Bellaire Blvd to Rice Boulevard, and from Buffalo Speedway to Kirby. Same-day starts are routine because our office is a 10-minute drive up Bissonnet and Kirby, and several of our caregivers live in Bellaire, Meyerland, and Southwest Houston immediately adjacent.
Can you coordinate with West U's Kelsey-Seybold, Baylor College of Medicine, or Texas Children's for our parent's specialists?
Yes. West U's proximity to the Texas Medical Center means most of our clients here have Baylor, Methodist, or Kelsey-Seybold specialists. Our caregivers can escort to appointments, take notes at the visit, and hand off a written summary to the family so nothing is lost in translation.
A Care Manager visits your home, listens, and hands you a plan.
