Short answer

In-Home Care in Texas is regulated by HHSC. We list 5 verified in-home care providers across the Austin metro. In-home care covers two different things that families often conflate.

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.

Questions Austin families ask

How much does in-home care cost per hour in Austin?

The 2025 CareScout survey puts the Texas median for a non-medical caregiver at $30 an hour, roughly $5,720 monthly at 44 hours a week. Skilled private duty nursing at home runs about $90 an hour or $150 a visit. Austin rates typically run above statewide medians.

Is adult day care cheaper than assisted living in Austin?

Substantially. The Texas median for adult day health care is $90 a day, about $1,950 monthly, versus $5,666 monthly for assisted living. AGE of Central Texas runs adult day health programs in Central Austin and Round Rock with a nurse on site at all times.

Why is nursing home care listed as cheaper than assisted living in Texas?

The 2025 CareScout survey shows a Texas semi-private nursing median of $185 a day, the lowest in the nation and below the state assisted living median. That figure reflects a heavily Medicaid-weighted nursing market rather than private-pay rates. Expect an Austin private-pay quote to run considerably higher.

What does memory care cost in Austin?

There is no authoritative answer. CareScout does not survey memory care as a separate category, so no published median exists for Texas or Austin. Any memory care price quoted online is an estimate. Memory care typically prices above standard assisted living because of staffing ratios and secured building requirements.
