Angels Instead has been instrumental bringing peace of mind to my family by providing needed care to my wife. When last minute changes occurred they were quick to make the necessary changes. The quality of the caregivers is impressive. I am pleased to recommend Angels Instead to anyone who is in need of professional help.

Questions families ask first
Straight answers, before you call
How much does home care cost in Houston or Dallas?
Angels Instead bills by the hour, with a 4-hour minimum per shift and no long-term commitment. The rate depends on the level of care and the schedule, and the quoted rate is the rate you pay. You can see your exact hourly rate in about a minute with our online quote.
How quickly can a caregiver start?
Usually within 24 hours of your call. When it is urgent, the home safety assessment, the care plan and the caregiver introduction all happen the same day.
Who are the caregivers?
Experienced caregivers who have passed rigorous compliance checks, including criminal background and reference checks, and who are supervised by a care coordinator. We match personalities carefully and send the same caregiver whenever possible.
What if we do not click with the caregiver?
Tell your care coordinator and we change the match. The written care plan stays with the home, so a new caregiver picks up where the last one left off.
Does the VA or long-term care insurance pay for home care?
Often yes. Angels Instead is a VA Community Care Network provider, so eligible veterans can receive care at home with the VA paying the agency. Most long-term care policies cover in-home care, and we help you file the claim. Start with the VA quiz or the policy checker.
Is Angels Instead licensed and insured?
Yes. Angels Instead Group LLC is licensed by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission as a Home Health Agency and is fully bonded and insured. Our main business is non-medical home care, and skilled nursing is available when the plan of care calls for it.
Can family members follow the care from another city?
Yes. Every family member gets a private link to the family portal with the schedule, visit check-ins and notes, the care plan, photos (with consent from the client), invoices and a chat with the care team.

My experience with Angels Instead was awesome! They took care of my Grandma who has dementia. They sent us a consistent caregiver, Julie, who was fantastic. She always made it on time and she treated my grandma with compassion and respect. She accompanied her to Dr. appointments and played with her piano. She also did daily exercises with her and always kept the house tidy and clean! The agency follows up with us daily after each shift and makes sure all went well. I recommend them to every family who is looking for home care! By the way, they had a family portal that kept all our family up to date on everything my Grandma is doing! No surprises on invoices and their rates are affordable compared to what other agencies quoted us.

Our family is endlessly grateful for Angels Instead, especially for Luisa, the CNA who cared for my grandmother during her final months. We truly believe that when we reached out to Angels Instead, God sent us an actual angel. Luisa cared for my grandma with a level of love, patience, and compassion that went far beyond anything we expected. She treated her with dignity, tenderness, and genuine affection every single day. Her presence also brought tremendous comfort to my mom, who felt supported, guided, and never alone in the process of caring for her own mother. Losing my grandma has been incredibly difficult, but knowing she was surrounded by such compassionate care brings us so much peace. I cannot thank Angels Instead, especially Luisa and Tammy, enough. If you are looking for a home care agency that treats your loved one like family, this is the place. We will forever be grateful.
I have worked with Angels Instead for many months and they are very responsive in assuring there is always a caregiver on site. This is very important in caring for my bedridden mother.
Good, compassionate care.

The caregiver they sent for my mother in law was on time and professional. They send the same caregiver every time, which we lacked with previous agencies we used. We have been using Angels Instead Homecare for almost 3 months and then my in-law got moved to a nursing home in the Houston area where they are still offering extra care. Their pricing is affordable and there are no hidden expenses on their invoices. They even took our call at 5am when my mother-in-law needed the caregiver earlier that day. They are a blessing.
Awesome service, and Tamara went above and beyond last minute finding me a caregiver in very short notice. Will definitely use them again.
The flexible scheduling options and affordable rates make Angels Instead a great choice for families on a budget.
My father needed help with transportation, and Angels Instead was able to provide that service.

This is the second time I've used Angels Instead Home Care. My mother has late stage dementia. Her regular caretaker had gone on vacation. The caregivers from Angels Instead came in and treated my mother with kindness and respect. They took care of her every need, making sure she was comfortable. This time my regular caregiver returned from vacation sick. I called last minute in a panic. They were very accommodating and extended care for another week. I highly recommend Angels Instead. Their caregivers will take great care of your loved one.
Without Angels Instead, I would not be able to work. Tamara is awesome with scheduling and communication. The care provider we have is excellent and trustworthy. I highly recommend contacting and using them.
Tamara is very caring, a good communicator and very accommodating. Her staff is dependable and caring.

I hired a caregiver from Angels Instead Home Care Agency for my disabled veteran father, and I couldn't be more satisfied. The caregiver was professional and also incredibly knowledgeable about the needs of individuals with disabilities. She approached each task with care and respect, making my father feel comfortable. I appreciate her experience, as she handled situations with ease and confidence. It was clear that the agency genuinely cared about my father's well-being. I highly recommend this agency for anyone needing compassionate and skilled care.

Hiring Angels Instead was one of the best decisions we have ever made! My aging parents, and Mom with Alzheimer's, required caregivers to manage cooking, chores and everyday personal life. The Angels Instead owner, Tamara, met with us personally and then assigned a single, perfect caregiver only to them, which is crucial when working with patients who have dementia or Alzheimer's. After only a couple of days of training the caregiver to the household routine, she was able to provide 2 weeks worth of total exceptional care for my parents while I was able to take a much needed vacation. The caregiver will continue to provide coverage on the weekends and other needed days. Having a caregiving service that we like, can trust, and one that is able to provide this level of care checks all the boxes for my parents and me. We couldn't be more pleased! Thank you so much.
Very kind and caring staff. I couldn't be more pleased with the service. They also have extremely competitive rates. Best ones I have come across for the service provided.
Highly recommend!! Awesome staff and service! Super affordable pricing. Couldn't be more satisfied.
Great service and even better people!
