Home Care for Katy Seniors and Their Families
Katy is home to about 2,790 residents age 65 and over, roughly one in every nine people in the city. For many of those families, the hope is the same. Mom or Dad wants to stay in the house they know, with their own kitchen, their own favorite chair and their own neighbors close by.
Our senior care in Katy is for those older adults and for the people helping them. That might be a spouse who's doing a little more each month, a daughter who drives over after work, or a son who lives across Houston or a few states away and wonders how things are going when he can't be there.
The care we provide is non-medical. Caregivers help with daily routines, personal care, companionship and supervision, and each plan is designed around your loved one's needs, routines, preferences and personality.
The City of Katy sits at the hub of three counties, Harris, Waller and Fort Bend, about 30 miles west of Houston. Your parent's home could fall in any one of the three, and that makes a difference later on, when you start looking for local help.
Home Care Services in Katy
No two families need exactly the same thing, and nobody has to sign up for everything at once. Our home care services in Katy start with whatever has gotten hard lately, and they can grow or shrink as life changes. Here's what each one looks like on an ordinary day, so you can picture how it might fit your family.
Personal Care at Home
Some mornings the hardest part is the shower, the buttons or getting up from a favorite chair. Our caregivers give respectful help with bathing, dressing and other personal care at home, including grooming, toileting, walking and transfers. Help can be a simple reminder, a steady hand nearby or full hands-on support, and your loved one keeps doing what they safely can on their own.
Companion Care at Home
Some parents are still pretty independent but spend too many days alone, especially once they've stopped driving. A caregiver can bring back conversation, company and practical help around the house, from games, music and walks to meal preparation, errands, light housekeeping and laundry. They can also drive your loved one to appointments and go in with them.
In-Home Alzheimer's & Dementia Care
Memory loss changes sleep, meals and moods, and over time it changes the whole family's rhythm. Our dementia care in Katy offers non-medical support at home for people living with Alzheimer's and other dementia, with familiar routines, supervision, companionship and gentle help with personal care. It also gives family caregivers a break. Our free Houston family guide to caring for a loved one with dementia at home is a good place to start if all of this is new to you.
24-Hour Home Care
A few hours a day can stop being enough once falls start happening or nights get restless. Our 24-hour home care in Katy provides continuous caregiver coverage through scheduled shifts, so someone is with your loved one through the day and overnight. It's meant for seniors who shouldn't be left alone. We don't offer live-in care; every hour is covered by a caregiver on a scheduled shift.
Respite Care for Family Caregivers
Caring for a parent or spouse every day wears on anyone, even the most devoted daughter or husband. Respite gives you time to go to work, keep your own appointments, run errands, see your own family or simply rest, while your loved one has dependable support at home the whole time. It's part of our senior home care for older adults and the family caregivers who look after them.
Help at Home After a Hospital Stay or Surgery
Two large hospitals care for Katy families. One is Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital on the Katy Freeway, with 303 beds and the only Level III trauma center in Katy. The other is Houston Methodist West Hospital, with more than 200 beds serving Katy and West Houston.
Whichever one your parent leaves, the first days back are often harder than anyone expected. Mom may be weaker than she was before. Dad may be using a walker for the first time, with new prescriptions to pick up and follow-up visits on the calendar.
Hospital to home care in Katy helps with that stretch. A caregiver can help your loved one settle back in after a hospital stay with meals, personal care, help getting around the house, medication reminders, household tasks and rides to follow-up appointments.
Planned surgeries work the same way. Our non-medical help while someone recovers from surgery can be arranged before the procedure, so the ride home, the meals and that first shower are already planned. Most of this care is temporary, a few days for some people and a few weeks for others.
How Home Care Gets Started
Our process has four steps, and every one of them is about getting to know your loved one.
It starts with a confidential consultation. That's a private conversation about your loved one's needs, your concerns, their daily routines and your goals for support.
Next comes a personalized care plan, designed around their lifestyle, any health considerations and the level of help they prefer.
The third step is choosing the caregiver. Sid Gerber, our owner, personally assesses each client's needs and personality before selecting the caregiver. Skills count, of course. The personality match often matters just as much, so we match caregivers on both the care your loved one needs and how well they'll fit in the home.
The last step keeps going for as long as care does. Our team stays involved with ongoing oversight, keeping communication open and adjusting the plan as needs change. Families can also use SmartCare, which gives you another way to stay connected to your loved one's care, a real comfort when you live across town or out of state.
Why Katy Families Choose Personal Caregiving Services
Personal caregiving is more than just having a sitter. We believe home care should be about relationships, with caregivers who take the time to learn a person's routines, stories, sense of humor and the little things that make each day better.
We're an owner-led team, and Sid Gerber stays personally involved in how clients and caregivers are matched. We carefully select caregivers who understand that kindness, patience, reliability and respect matter just as much as experience.
Our care management and coordination keep appointments, daily routines and changing health needs organized, so you don't have to hold every detail in your head. We're available 24/7, too, with prompt, reliable communication when a question comes up late at night or on a Sunday morning.
Personal Caregiving Services holds Texas License Number 012559 as a home care agency. We accept private pay and long-term care insurance, and our team works closely with your family to adjust care as needs change.
Senior Resources in Katy
About 760 Katy residents age 65 and over live alone, more than one in four older adults in the city. For a parent living by themselves, a good week usually means a few places to go and a few people who expect to see them.
The Fussell Senior Citizen Center run by the City of Katy is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. It has games, fitness and wellness checks, classes, crafts, movies, day trips, holiday celebrations and dining outings. Anyone 55 and older can join with no membership fee and no residency requirement, and 982 people took part in 2025. The city also points seniors to the senior activity calendar at Woodsland Park Community Center.
Help for families depends partly on which county your parent lives in. Families on the Harris County side can turn to the Harris County Area Agency on Aging, which serves adults 60 and older and their caregivers with Medicare and Medicaid benefits counseling, caregiver support that includes respite, and both group meals and home-delivered meals. Families in Fort Bend and Waller counties are served by the Houston-Galveston Area Agency on Aging, which offers Medicare benefits counseling and information and gives priority to people living with dementia and the family members caring for them.
Companion care in Katy helps keep these places on the calendar after a parent stops driving. A caregiver can drive your loved one to the senior center or an activity, go along on errands and appointments, and bring them safely home again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Care in Katy
What home care services are available in Katy?
Personal Caregiving Services offers senior home care, personal care at home, companion care, in-home Alzheimer's and dementia care, 24-hour home care, respite for family caregivers, post-surgery care and hospital to home care in Katy. Many families start with one or two of these and add more as their loved one's needs change.
Is home care the same as home health care?
They're two different services, and they often work side by side. Home health provides skilled healthcare services ordered by a medical provider. Personal Caregiving Services provides non-medical home care: help with daily routines, personal care, companionship and supervision. In Texas, the state license for home care agencies covers personal assistance services in the home as their own category, alongside nursing and therapy.
Can my parent get home care for just a few hours?
Yes. Care can be a few hours of companionship or help with just a couple of routines, like getting ready in the morning or making lunch. Plenty of older adults only need a little help, and your family can talk with us about adding hours later if things change.
Do you offer 24-hour or live-in care in Katy?
We offer 24-hour home care through scheduled caregiver shifts, for seniors who shouldn't be left alone during the day or overnight. We don't provide live-in care. Families who start with fewer hours can talk with us about moving to around-the-clock coverage when that time comes.
How do families pay for home care?
We accept private pay and long-term care insurance. Long-term care insurance benefits and eligibility vary from one policy to the next, so it helps to look over your own coverage, and we're glad to talk through payment arrangements with you.
How is a caregiver chosen for my loved one?
Our owner, Sid Gerber, personally assesses each client's needs and personality before selecting the caregiver. We match caregivers on both the care your loved one needs and how well the two of them are likely to get along at home, since the right personality often matters as much as the right skills.
Is Personal Caregiving Services licensed in Texas?
Yes. Our Texas License Number is 012559. Texas licenses home and community support services agencies, and that license covers personal assistance services in a person's home, the kind of non-medical help our caregivers give every day.
