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