Why Texas Medical Center Area families choose us for companion 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 companion 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 + companion care — questions we hear most
What's the difference between companion care and personal care in Texas Medical Center Area?
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 Texas Medical Center Area 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 Texas Medical Center Area?
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 Texas Medical Center Area-area medical office, Houston Methodist, or Memorial Hermann is a standard companion-care service.
Do you offer companion care in Spanish for Texas Medical Center Area families?
Yes. Many of our caregivers are bilingual (English/Spanish) — a request families make frequently in Texas Medical Center Area. 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.
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.
