Cost and Payment Options for In-Home Care in Houston

At De-Mondek Home Care, we know that families want clear, trustworthy information about the cost of care.
Below you’ll find a transparent overview of what in-home non-medical care typically costs in the Houston area and the ways our clients commonly pay for services.

Typical Cost of In-Home Non-Medical Care in Houston

Families in Houston usually see non-medical home care rates starting around $22 per hour and ranging up to $35 per hour.
The exact rate depends on factors such as:

  • the level of assistance (companionship, personal care, specialized or overnight support)
  • the number of hours scheduled each week
  • any special scheduling needs such as evenings, weekends, or holidays

At De-Mondek Home Care our hourly rates fall within this local range and are customized after a free in-home assessment so every client receives a plan that matches their needs and budget.

Ways to Pay for Care

Private Pay

Private pay means that clients or their families use savings, pensions, or other personal funds to cover the cost of care, offering direct control and flexibility over the services received.

Before making a decision, families often review:

  • Available savings or investment funds
  • Monthly pension, Social Security, or retirement income
  • Other assets or support from family
  • The number of hours of care needed each week

Most families choose private pay because it allows them to pay directly for care with a simple written agreement and transparent invoices. We accept major credit or debit cards, bank drafts, or checks, giving families full flexibility to set a schedule and level of service that fit their loved one’s life.

Medicaid Programs

Certain Medicaid waiver programs may help eligible clients cover non-medical personal care.
If you qualify or wish to apply, we guide you to the right resources and assist with paperwork once we are an approved Medicaid provider.

The VA Aid & Attendance benefit is a special pension that helps eligible wartime veterans or their surviving spouses get financial assistance toward in-home caregiving costs when they need help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or mobility.
