Houston In-Home Care Providers We Work With
Each provider below serves Houston families and partners with Patriot Angels on the Aid & Attendance claim.
What In-Home Care Costs in Houston
No Houston-only figure is published, so the benchmark is the Texas median of $5,720 a month for 44 hours a week, about $30 an hour (CareScout 2025). Ask Houston agencies whether weekend, holiday and overnight hours cost more. VA also checks income and assets; our guide to VA’s income and asset rules shows how in-home care costs lower countable income.
