Non-medical home care is hourly caregiver support delivered in your loved one\u0027s existing home. Caregivers help with bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, mobility, transportation, and companionship. It does not include skilled nursing services.
Companion Care, Personal Care, Respite Care, 24-Hour Care, Dementia & Alzheimer\u0027s Care, and Post-Hospital Care. Most clients combine two or more services under a single care plan.
Fort Worth and surrounding Tarrant County (Arlington, Mansfield, Keller, Southlake, Grapevine, North Richland Hills, Benbrook, Burleson, Crowley) plus Weatherford and the rest of Parker County.
Hourly home care is typically high-$20s to mid-$30s per hour. The free in-home assessment includes a transparent walkthrough of cost. See our full cost guide for the breakdown.
In most cases, within 24 to 48 hours of the initial assessment. Same-day starts are sometimes possible for hospital discharges and urgent situations.

No. Schedule the hours you actually need. Most families scale up or down month to month as needs change.
No. Medicare covers short-term skilled home health (a nurse or PT visiting on doctor\u0027s orders) but not non-medical hourly caregiver services. LTC insurance, VA Aid & Attendance, and certain Texas Medicaid waivers may help fund care.
Home care is hourly, non-medical, in-home support. A nursing home is a licensed medical facility for residents needing 24-hour skilled nursing. Most older adults who need help can stay home with the right level of caregiver support.
