Is this the right kind of care?
If any of these sound familiar, this service is probably the right fit:
- Your parent has started skipping showers because getting in and out of the tub feels risky
- Getting dressed takes most of the morning, or the same clothes are worn for days
- There has been a fall, a near-fall, or new unsteadiness on stairs and thresholds
- Meals are getting skipped, or the fridge holds mostly expired food
- A spouse or adult child is doing all the lifting, bathing, and reminding — and wearing down
What personal care includes
Personal care is the foundation of in-home support: a trained personal assistant helping with the physical tasks of daily living that have become hard or unsafe to do alone. Every visit follows a written care plan you approve, and every task is done with the client's dignity first.
- Bathing and showering — standby support or hands-on help, with the bathroom prepared and warm before your parent ever steps in
- Dressing and grooming — clothing choices your parent prefers, hair care, shaving, skin care, and nail filing
- Toileting and incontinence care — discreet, matter-of-fact help that protects skin health and self-respect
- Safe movement — steadying support on stairs and thresholds, help in and out of bed and chairs, walker and cane spotting
- Meals and hydration — preparing food your parent will actually eat, and gentle reminders to drink water
- Medication reminders — prompting at the right times from a list your family or pharmacy provides
- Light housekeeping — dishes, laundry, bed linens, and keeping walkways clear of trip hazards
What personal care does not include
We are a non-medical agency, licensed by the State of Texas to provide Personal Assistance Services. Our caregivers do not give injections, manage wound care, adjust medications, or provide any service that requires a nurse. If your parent needs skilled nursing or therapy, that comes from a home health agency under a doctor's order — and our caregivers work alongside those teams every day. Being clear about this line is how everyone stays safe, and it is why hospitals and home health agencies are comfortable working with us.
How families actually use personal care
Most families do not need a caregiver all day. They need the right morning. A morning visit covers bathing, dressing, breakfast, and medication reminders — the window where most falls and most skipped meals happen — with time left for light housekeeping, laundry, and a grocery run. Some add an evening visit for dinner and getting safely into bed. The care plan is built around your parent's routine and can be adjusted as needs change, and the rate stays the same even if those needs grow.

What this costs
We publish our rates — most agencies don’t. Two things to know before you compare: our rate is one flat hourly rate around the clock, and it does not increase when care needs increase. There are no “levels of care” here.

Questions families ask
What is personal care, exactly?
Personal care means hands-on, non-medical help with the activities of daily living — bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, moving safely around the house, and eating. It is provided by trained, background-checked personal assistants under our Texas Personal Assistance Services license
Can we start with just a few hours?
Yes. Our minimum visit is four hours, and most families start with a single morning visit — bathing, dressing, breakfast, tidying up, a load of laundry — then adjust as they learn what actually helps. It is one flat rate for the whole visit, with no levels-of-care pricing on top.
Will the same caregiver come every time?
We build the schedule around consistent matching. You meet your caregiver, and if the fit isn't right you can request a different match at any time. Consistency matters — especially for clients who are private about bathing and dressing.
Does the rate go up if my parent's needs increase?
No. We do not use "levels of care" pricing. If your mother later needs more hands-on help than she does today, the hourly rate stays the same. Only the number of hours you choose changes the cost.
How fast can personal care start?
Often within 24 hours of your call. We schedule a free in-home assessment first — at home, in the hospital, or at a rehab facility — and can usually have a caregiver in place the next day.
Is personal care covered by insurance?
Long-term care insurance policies commonly cover personal care, and we help families file the claim and handle the paperwork. Medicare generally does not pay for non-medical personal care. VA Aid and Attendance may help qualifying veterans and surviving spouses.
