Home Care In Houston, TX

Home Care Houston, TX

They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.

However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting Henry Staiti House in Houston, TX gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.

Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Houston, TX is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Houston, TX?

lm-check

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.

lm-check

At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

Respite Care

Respite Care Services

According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Étoile or visit Historical Marker, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.

If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?

A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.

With the help of elderly care in Houston, TX, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.

Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.

Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.

For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.

More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.

In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.

With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.

 Elderly Care Houston, TX

Affordable Care

In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.

Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.

At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.

In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your TX's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.

When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.

Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.

At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Houston, TX understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.

Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.

Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.

Assisted Living Referral Services

While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.

Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.


Respite Care Houston, TX

At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.

Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers Houston, TX

At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.

Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.

Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:

  • MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care at River Oaks
  • Belmont Village Senior Living West University
  • Brookdale The Heights
  • Bedford Residence Assisted Living
  • Belmont Village Senior Living Hunters Creek
  • Best Personal Care Licensed assisted living facility
Home Care Houston, TX

For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.

HOUSTON, Texas – The early breeze feels sharp across southeast Texas this morning, scattering leaves and stirring dust under a bright sky. Wind gusts sweep through open spaces and downtown streets, part of a strong dry flow gripping the region ahead of Halloween weekend.

According to the National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston, a Wind Advisory remains in effect through early evening. Northwest winds may gust as high as 40 mph at times, especially along open stretches of I-45 and Highway 59. Drivers of high-profile vehicles should use extra caution, and residents are advised to secure trash bins, lawn furniture, and outdoor Halloween decorations before midday gusts peak.

Behind the wind, sunshine dominates. Temperatures will rise into the upper 60s today, then drop into the lower 50s tonight as dry air settles in. Thursday brings calmer winds, crystal-clear skies, and highs near 68°F — the beginning of a beautiful, stable stretch heading into Halloween.

Friday — Halloween — looks picture-perfect for outdoor events across Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery Counties. Skies will stay sunny, with afternoon highs near 73°F and gentle breezes around 10 mph. Trick-or-treaters can expect a mild evening in the upper 60s, ideal for outdoor celebrations and neighborhood walks.

Saturday brings a 30–40% chance of isolated thunderstorms, mainly west of the city, before skies clear again Sunday. Clocks fall back early Sunday morning, signaling the first lean into November’s longer nights — and, soon enough, its chillier mornings.

Five-Day Forecast for Houston, TX:Wed: 67/50 – Sunny, windy; gusts near 40 mph.Thu: 68/50 – Sunny, light breeze; mild.Fri: 73/55 – Clear skies; perfect for trick-or-treaters.Sat: 74/56 – Partly sunny; slight chance of storms late.Sun: 73/57 – Mostly sunny; clocks fall back early morning.

HOUSTON, TX — A humid stillness blankets the city early this morning — the kind that feels heavy enough to warn what’s coming. Streetlights shimmer through the haze, and clouds are thickening fast. Storms are brewing again along the Texas Gulf, and Houston sits squarely in their path.

The National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston expects thunderstorms to develop this afternoon and strengthen Friday evening, continuing into Saturday morning. Some storms may bring gusty winds up to 25 mph, heavy rainfall, and localized street flooding, particularly in low-lying and poor-drainage areas. Rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches are likely, with isolated higher amounts near coastal and southern suburbs.

While no widespread severe weather is expected, any slow-moving thunderstorm could quickly flood intersections or underpasses, especially during the Friday evening commute. Drivers are urged to avoid flooded roads and give themselves extra travel time.

By Saturday afternoon, showers taper off as drier air moves inland. Temperatures hold in the upper 70s to low 80s, with calmer winds and gradual clearing overnight. Sunday brings mostly sunny skies and highs near 82°F, marking a warm and comfortable finish to the weekend.

Looking into next week, Halloween week appears warm and dry — perfect for outdoor events and early decorating. Highs in the low 80s and cooler nights in the 60s will set an ideal fall tone.

For now, Houston’s in for a wet and stormy start to the weekend — but the payoff arrives quickly: sunshine, calm winds, and a picture-perfect Sunday ahead.

On its now-shut-down website, the company promised the “ultimate medical savings product” for people looking to pay bills not covered by insurance.

HOUSTON — A team of FBI agents seized boxes of files, computers and other evidence on Thursday from a Houston-based company accused of defrauding thousands of customers.

KHOU 11 Investigates first exposed consumer complaints in February against Health Matching Account Services, or HMA, which has offices along Woodway Drive between Sage Road and South Post Oak Lane.

On its now-shut-down website, the company promised the “ultimate medical savings product” for people looking to pay bills not covered by insurance. HMA claimed that if customers made monthly contributions into their account, the company would double that money over time.

But customers like Alvaro Ledesma said he put nearly $5,000 into his account but routinely had trouble getting claims paid. He added that he felt “held hostage” because of fine print in the contract stating that if customers failed to pay their monthly contributions, their account would be terminated and the account balance forfeited.

“They’re just forcing you to do something that you don’t want to do,” Ledesma said. “Now that the FBI is involved, that’s very good news for me.”

Alex Loftus is a Chicago-based attorney who filed a class action lawsuit against HMA.

“There was never any matching," Loftus said. “It was entirely fraudulent. It was a false promise.”

Loftus added that the scope of the alleged scheme is massive.

“There were approximately 40,000 customers in HMA,” Loftus said. “That would mean that $200 million went into HMA, of which very little apparently was paid out in claims.”

Loftus said he has been working with federal law enforcement, and since KHOU 11 Investigates’ initial story, company insiders have come forward.

“Thanks to your reporting, people were very aware of the work I was doing, and an employee that was terminated came to me,” Loftus said.

“And I was able to connect that employee with the Department of Justice, and then she actually gave them the keys to the facility so they could raid it,” Loftus said.

The FBI's involvement gives customers like Ledesma new hope of getting at least some of their money back.

“Before I had doubt. Now I’m hoping, yes,” he said.

KHOU 11 Investigates requested comment from HMA and its attorneys defending the civil lawsuit, but has yet to hear back. The company previously said that it denies the allegations in the civil lawsuit and will vigorously defend itself in court.

An FBI spokesperson said the agency is prohibited from responding to routine inquiries until the government shutdown is over.

Loftus said he was informed that HMA employees were told to go home after the FBI arrived and no longer have jobs.

Harris County, TX — August 5, 2025, Horace Davis was injured due to a car accident just after 7:45 a.m. along I-69, Eastex Freeway.

According to authorities, 72-year-old Horace Davis was traveling in a northbound Infiniti SUV on Eastex Freeway in the vicinity south of Greens Road when the accident took place.

Officials indicate that, for reasons yet to be confirmed, a collision occurred between the back left quarter of the Infiniti and the front-right of a northbound Dodge Charger. Davis reportedly sustained serious injuries over the course of the accident. It does not appear that anyone from the Charger was hurt. Additional details pertaining to this incident are not available at this point in time.

When a high-speed highway crash results in serious injuries—especially during morning traffic—it’s rarely enough to note which vehicle hit which. The real insight lies in how and why the impact occurred, and whether the full picture was captured while evidence was fresh.

1. Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?A collision between the side of one vehicle and the front of another raises important questions about lane changes, relative speed, and driver awareness. Did the Infiniti move into the Charger’s path, or did the Charger fail to adjust in time? Was there any effort to reconstruct the exact positions and movements of the vehicles? On a fast-moving stretch of freeway, even a small error in timing or space estimation can result in serious consequences—but those details don’t explain themselves unless someone digs into them early.

2. Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?If either vehicle drifted, failed to respond to driver input, or exhibited delayed braking or throttle behavior, a mechanical issue might be to blame. That’s especially relevant if the Infiniti’s lane positioning or the Charger’s responsiveness seemed unusual. Steering sensors, braking systems, and electronic assists can all fail in subtle ways. Unless both vehicles were inspected promptly, those kinds of failures may have gone unnoticed.

3. Was all the electronic data relating to the crash collected in time?Both vehicles likely had event data recorders that captured speed, brake use, and steering inputs in the moments before the crash. That information could establish which driver changed lanes, how quickly, and whether either attempted to avoid the collision. Without that data, conclusions are often drawn from damage patterns alone—which may not tell the whole story. If the data wasn’t downloaded shortly after the crash, that chance may have passed.

Crashes on the freeway don’t allow for long reaction windows. But when a driver is seriously hurt, the only way to truly understand what happened is by reviewing everything—not just where the damage is, but how the vehicles got there.
