Why Memorial families choose us for dementia & alzheimer's care
Memorial families are often managing two things at once: a parent aging in a large estate home on Longwoods, Wickersham, or Beauchamp Springs, and a working spouse commuting to the Energy Corridor. Our typical placement is a live-in or 24-hour rotating caregiver in a home with staff (housekeeper, occasional chef), where the caregiver's job includes coordinating with the household's existing routines. We provide the family a weekly written summary and real-time GPS clock-ins through Homewatch Connect so the Chicago-based sibling and the local one see the same picture.

What dementia & alzheimer's care looks like in Memorial

- Wandering prevention with home-safety walkthroughs and door alarms
- Familiar-routine caregiving — same caregiver, same schedule, same voice, all critical to slowing agitation

- Bathing, dressing, meal support delivered with dementia-appropriate cueing (not directives)
- Behavior-log documentation your neurologist can read at the next appointment
What dementia & alzheimer's care costs in Memorial
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 Memorial home for 60–90 minutes, builds a plan, and hands you an itemized quote before she leaves. Free, no obligation.
Memorial + dementia & alzheimer's care — questions we hear most
How do you match a caregiver to a Memorial 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 Memorial 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 on Memorial Drive with an existing housekeeper and pool service. Will your caregiver coordinate with them?
Yes. On day one we walk through the household's existing staff schedule, define handoff points (who's responsible for meals, who preps the room, who takes the parent to appointments), and put it in writing. Your Care Manager owns the coordination; the caregiver executes against it. Most Memorial households run smoothly within a week.
Our parent's primary hospital is Memorial Hermann Memorial City. Can you meet a discharge there?
Yes, Memorial Hermann Memorial City is 8 minutes from our Galleria office. We routinely do same-day discharge meets there, pick up prescription bags from the on-site pharmacy, and drive the client home. Our Care Manager (a former Neuro ICU nurse from the Methodist system) knows the discharge planners at Memorial City by name.
