Why Houston Heights families choose us for companion care
A typical Heights client is a 78-year-old in a 1920s bungalow on Rutland or Yale, lived here since the 1960s when it wasn't fashionable. Adult child lives in Timbergrove or Garden Oaks, comes over on weekends. Client wants to keep walking to the mailbox, to White Oak Music Hall, to the coffee shop on 11th. Our caregiver goes with her, keeps her steady on the uneven historic sidewalks, and drives to appointments at Methodist or Memorial Hermann when needed.

What companion care costs in Houston Heights
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 Houston Heights home for 60–90 minutes, builds a plan, and hands you an itemized quote before she leaves. Free, no obligation.
Houston Heights + companion care — questions we hear most
What's the difference between companion care and personal care in Houston Heights?
Companion care is non-hands-on — company, conversation, meals, errands, and safety supervision. Personal care adds hands-on assistance with bathing, dressing, and mobility. Many Houston Heights clients start with companion care and add personal-care hours as needs evolve. Same caregiver, same relationship — just an expanded role.
Can the caregiver drive my parent to appointments in Houston Heights?
Yes. Our caregivers are insured to drive their own vehicles for client transportation, and if you prefer they use your car we're insured for that too. Round-trip to any Houston Heights-area medical office, Houston Methodist, or Memorial Hermann is a standard companion-care service.
Do you offer companion care in Spanish for Houston Heights families?
Yes. Many of our caregivers are bilingual (English/Spanish) — a request families make frequently in Houston Heights. If your loved one is more comfortable in Spanish (or is losing English as dementia progresses), we match a bilingual caregiver at no additional cost.
Our Heights bungalow has a single narrow bathroom upstairs and no shower on the first floor. Do you handle homes like this?
Yes, this is one of the most common home layouts we work with in the Heights, Woodland Heights, and Norhill. Our Care Manager walks the home on day one, notes the specific mobility challenges (bathroom on second floor, tub-only shower, narrow doorway to the bedroom), and either adjusts the caregiver's technique or recommends specific equipment (transfer benches, threshold ramps, a stair lift for the longer term). Nothing is one-size-fits-all here.
Our mother still walks to Heights Mercantile and to Donovan Park. Will your caregiver accompany her?
Yes, walking accompaniment is one of the most-used services in the Heights specifically. The uneven historic sidewalks are a real fall risk. The caregiver walks alongside, calls out cracks and roots, and knows the shorter routes that avoid the most damaged blocks. The goal is that your mother keeps her walk; the caregiver just makes it safer.
