Home and home health care agencies provide similar services, such as housekeeping and personal grooming, with the latter also offering limited medical care delivered by registered nurses or therapists. However, the average fees for both services are identical at $4,290 per month. Adult day health services in local centers are the most affordable, at $1,138, while assisted living is the least costly option that Houston seniors pay the same average rate of $4,576 for home care and in-home health care. However, home health aides are usually trained to also provide medical monitoring services along with personal care services. Adult day health care is the cheapest senior care option in the city, at a median cost of $1,099. Older Houston residents can also opt for residential care in an assisted living facility, at an average cost of $4,245. Nursing home care is the most expensive in the area, at $5,262 per month.

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Houston’s seniors can access numerous programs aimed at helping them age safely and comfortably within their own homes. The following list includes samples of what’s available in Harris County and Texas. They can help seniors struggling with some daily tasks get fresh meals daily, others facing excessive energy costs reduce their bills and those who own their homes benefit from some tax exemptions.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Houston Health Department Senior Services | (832) 393-4301 | Houston Health Department Senior Services is the local area agency on aging for seniors in the city. Older adults can get in touch with the resource center for benefits counseling, health promotion services and home-delivered meals. The agency can also help seniors locate other local programs they might benefit from via its information and assistance line. |
| City of Houston Home Repair Program | (832) 394-6200 | For seniors aged 62 or older, the Home Repair Program can cover the cost of minor home improvement projects. Eligibility for assistance is based on income. In some cases, the city might pay for a full rebuild of the applicant’s house. |
| Weatherization Assistance Program | 211 | The Weatherization Assistance Program is a free, federally funded initiative to help low-income people reduce their energy spending. Seniors eligible for weatherization may benefit from home repairs including wall insulation and installation of energy-efficient appliances. |
| Utility Assistance Program | (713) 590-2327 | Low-income seniors in Houston can receive help with the cost of their gas, water and electricity bills with this program. The Utility Assistance Program gets funding from the federal government and it’s delivered locally by BakerRipley. |
| YWCA Houston Meals on Wheels | (832) 504-6324 | YWCA Houston is one of the largest Meals on Wheels providers in the city. Seniors aged 60 and above can request food delivery if they’re homebound, or join their nearest congregate meal sites. The nonprofit delivers to over 300,000 eligible older adults in Houston. |
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
