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