Why Galleria / Uptown families choose us for dementia & alzheimer's care
A typical Galleria placement: a widowed 82-year-old in a Post Oak high-rise, three years post-diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, wants to stay independent in the condo she and her husband bought in 1994. Her daughter lives in Bunker Hill and works downtown. We staff a 6-hour weekday shift with a companion caregiver who preps breakfast, walks her to the lobby coffee shop, drives her to Kroger on Weslayan for groceries, and stays through dinner. Our office is a 4-minute drive; if the caregiver needs backup, someone from our team is there before lunch.

What dementia & alzheimer's care costs in Galleria / Uptown
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 Galleria / Uptown home for 60–90 minutes, builds a plan, and hands you an itemized quote before she leaves. Free, no obligation.
Galleria / Uptown + dementia & alzheimer's care — questions we hear most
How do you match a caregiver to a Galleria / Uptown family with dementia?
Our Care Manager (a Registered Nurse) does an in-home assessment first, then we match on three factors in order: personality fit (the single highest predictor of dementia care success), prior dementia experience, and language. Bilingual (English/Spanish) matches available. Most Galleria / Uptown placements meet the caregiver before their first shift.
Can you help my parent with mid-stage dementia stay at home instead of moving to memory care?
Often, yes. Home-based dementia care is typically 40–60% less expensive than a Houston memory-care facility and preserves the routine and environment that slows agitation. We build a care plan around safety triggers (falls, wandering, medication) with your neurologist involved. For advanced cases we offer 24-hour or live-in coverage.
What if my parent refuses a caregiver at first?
Very common. We start small — a short visit around a shared activity (a favourite show, a walk, a meal). Our Care Manager coaches the family on approach and language. Trust builds over the first two weeks. If the first match doesn't work, we re-match at no cost.
Can your caregivers work in Post Oak Boulevard high-rises with concierge check-in?
Yes. We serve multiple households across the Post Oak, Astoria, Belfiore, and other Uptown/Galleria high-rises. Our caregivers know the concierge protocols at each building, keep credentials on their persons, and never park in resident-only areas. If your building requires HOA pre-approval for regular visitors, we handle the paperwork.
Our loved one still drives to the Galleria and to Kroger. Can a caregiver ride along?
Yes, accompaniment is one of our most-used services in the Galleria area. The caregiver is a second set of eyes without being in the driver's seat, notes any changes in driving habits over time, and can quietly flag the family when it may be time to hand over the keys.
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.
