Why West University Place families choose us for personal 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 personal 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 + personal care — questions we hear most
My parent is embarrassed about needing help bathing. How do you handle that in West University Place homes?
Slowly and by choice. First visits are typically light-touch — a shower supervision from outside, not inside. We work with the family and the client to find the comfort level. Same caregiver every time so trust builds. Our Care Manager coaches the family on language ("assistance" vs "help", "bathroom time" vs "toileting") that keeps dignity intact.
Can we have a female-only or male-only caregiver in West University Place?
Yes. This is a common request and we honour it. Our roster is deep enough on both sides that we can build the schedule around the client's preference without gaps.
What's the minimum hours per week for personal care in West University Place?
We don't require a minimum. Some West University Place families start with 6 hours a week (morning routine, three days a week); others go straight to 40+ hours. We build the schedule around the client's needs, not around minimum billable blocks.
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.
