Why Texas Medical Center Area families choose us for dementia & alzheimer's 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 dementia & alzheimer's 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 + dementia & alzheimer's care — questions we hear most
How do you match a caregiver to a Texas Medical Center Area 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 Texas Medical Center Area 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.
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.
