READ MORELocated within the Houston metro in the southeastern region of Texas, Missouri City has over 70,000 residents and a senior community that makes up nearly 15% of the population. While this is modest compared to the national average of roughly 17%, it’s large compared to most cities in Texas. The city offers a generally warm climate with virtually no snow, which may benefit those who rely on mobility aids, and the low crime rate provides peace of mind for seniors who live alone. The city also has affordable home care rates below the national average at $4,576 for non-medical care. For those who need skilled nursing services, home health care may be a viable alternative.
Below we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Missouri City area – complete with services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled resources to help seniors and their families to access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

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.
Seniors in Missouri City can connect with several agencies and programs within the city that can supplement private-pay 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.
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.
