Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between non-medical home care and home health?
Home health is clinical medical care prescribed by a doctor – typically short nurse visits, approved for a limited period of time.
Alumni specializes in non-medical home care: everyday assistance meant to safely support independence at home. We provide supervision and companionship, help with mobility and personal care, transportation, medication reminders, even light housekeeping.
Does Medicare cover your services?
Typically, no. Medicare covers home health treatments, but not ongoing daily assistance. Most clients use private pay or Long Term Care Insurance, which we can help you process.
How much does senior home care cost in Houston?
The cost of senior home care depends on the type and amount of care required. In Houston, hourly rates typically range from $30 to over $50.
Because short, infrequent shifts are generally most difficult to staff, agencies like Alumni Home Care offer the lowest rates for clients receiving consistent, ongoing care.
Do you require long-term contracts or minimum hourly commitments?
No. Our flexible care plans are designed to fit individual needs and to adapt as those needs change.
How are caregivers selected?
It starts with our compensation philosophy: we pay above market wages to attract the best caregivers in Houston.
Our rigorous hiring process includes skill-based interviews, background checks, reference calls, and training that exceeds state requirements.
We look for people we would trust personally, then pair them with clients based on temperament and care needs to create a lasting match.
Are your caregivers fully insured, W-2 employees?
Yes. All caregivers are W-2 employees, fully bonded and insured. We handle all payroll taxes and liability, providing you with total peace of mind and legal protection.
How do you handle emergenices?
Our office operates with 24/7 support and extensive protocols for handling emergencies. When you call, you will speak directly to a team member who is ready to act immediately to protect your loved one’s well-being.
