What Is Alzheimer’s Home Support in Houston?

Alzheimer’s home support provides daily living help, safety supervision, and meaningful engagement—delivered at home. Typical services include personal care (bathing, grooming, meals), medication reminders, gentle redirection, and family coaching. Remaining in familiar surroundings can reduce confusion and agitation while preserving independence longer. Explore our in-home memory care program (overview of services and coordination).

Will Medicare Pay for Alzheimer’s Home Care?

Medicare may cover skilled care ordered by a clinician (e.g., nursing, PT/OT/ST), but ongoing custodial support (bathing, dressing, meal help) is generally not covered. Many families combine Medicare-covered visits with private-pay or long-term care insurance for non-medical help. See official guidance on Medicare Home Health Services (authoritative coverage details, eligibility, and limits).

Medication administration and reminders should follow the clinician’s plan. Learn how our team supports safe routines in this medication guidance (clarifies roles and safety boundaries).

When Should Someone With Dementia Go Into a Care Home?

Timing is personal. Warning signs include unsafe wandering, frequent falls, unmanaged behaviors, or extreme caregiver burnout. With the right dementia and Alzheimer’s home care support services, many families safely extend at-home living by months or years before a facility is needed. If comparing options, use our home care provider questions (helps you interview agencies and set expectations).

Who Is Financially Responsible for a Person With Dementia?

Typically, the individual’s assets and income fund care. Family members are not automatically liable unless they co-sign or enter specific agreements (Texas does not have broad filial responsibility laws). For long-term planning, consult an elder law attorney or financial planner.

What Is the Life Expectancy of a Person With Alzheimer’s?

Average expectancy after diagnosis is ~8–10 years, though it varies by age, health, and stage. Consistent, compassionate care—at home or in a facility—supports comfort, reduces risks (falls, infections), and improves quality of life.
