In-Home Care in the Austin area

In-home care covers two different things that families often conflate. Non-medical home care is help with daily activities, companionship and household tasks. Home health is clinical care ordered by a physician and delivered by licensed staff.

Three things worth knowing first

• Non-medical home care is generally private pay. Medicare does not cover it. The Texas median is about $30 an hour, and Austin typically runs above that.
• Medicare-covered home health is intermittent and skilled — nursing visits, physical therapy — not a caregiver who stays with your parent.
• Once you need more than roughly forty to fifty hours a week, run the math against assisted living. Round-the-clock home care usually costs more than a community.
