As the fourth-largest city in the country, Houston has a very large senior population with nearly 235,000 senior citizens calling the city home. There are many things for seniors to love about Houston. Residents of this southern city enjoy year-round warm weather with no snow. The city offers world-class attractions, including the Houston Museum of Natural Science and Space Center Houston. It also has plenty of green space, including the 155-acre Houston Arboretum and Nature Center.
In Houston, senior home care is slightly more affordable than the national average, according to Genworth’s 2018 Cost of Care Survey. Seniors in this city pay an average of $20.50 per hour for homemaker services, while nationwide, the average is $21 per hour. Houston’s home health aides cost an average of $21.50 per hour, slightly less than the national norm of $22 per hour.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Houston area – complete with types of care provided, services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled a list of resources to help seniors and their families access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

The lady who ended up coming to visit was very pleasant and did all of the things that I had requested to take care of my mom. We only used them for a few days. They were taking care of her, making her lunch, tidying up the house, letting the dogs out, cleaning up her bed pan or side toilet, and helping her walk to and from the kitchen. I would recommend them.

I have been using Kindred at Home for eight months now. It’s for my mom. Mom lives in a retirement community in Houston, and she is in the independent living part. We are part of the catered living program, which was four visits a day to help my mom get dressed, help her take a shower, help her to make her bed or just to check in on her. Two women do it seven days a week, and they have just been fantastic. They are just lovely people. In this crazy Covid environment, we have very limited visitations, so we have been just so thankful. They’re really friends to Mom. They’re really helpful, really kind and caring. We’re just really grateful. They’re just lovely people. The woman, who is the manager and whom I have coordinated with, she is just great. She has been super helpful and super responsive. She just has a lovely attitude. Kindred at Home has just been a real blessing to Mom and a blessing to our family. Mom fell, so we needed overnight care for a few nights, and the manager was able to step in on that same day and was able to provide someone. Just high praises and real thankfulness for how great it has been.

Houston Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place.

Both programs are free, but registration is required.
Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
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.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
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.
