Angels Instead is a locally owned, Texas HHS licensed home care agency based in Spring, serving all of Houston and Harris County: personal care, companionship, dementia care, respite, overnight, live-in and 24-hour caregivers. Care can usually start within 24 hours, with the home safety assessment, care plan and caregiver introduction done the same day when it is urgent. Published rates from $24.92 an hour, no assessment fee. Call 281-800-1800.
Angels Instead Home Care is based on Five Forks Drive in Spring, on the north side of Houston, and has served Harris County families since 2022 with a team that has worked in healthcare since 2006. When you call 281-800-1800 you reach a care coordinator who knows the difference between Kingwood and Katy, which hospitals discharge on weekends, and how long the Beltway takes at 5 pm.
We provide non-medical in-home care across Houston: personal care, companionship, Alzheimer's and dementia care, respite, overnight, live-in and 24-hour caregivers, with skilled nursing visits available when a plan of care calls for them. Every caregiver is our employee, background and reference checked, bonded and insured, and supervised by a coordinator who visits the home. Shifts are a minimum of 4 hours, there is no long-term commitment, and the same caregiver comes back whenever possible.
Call 281-800-1800Our caregivers live all over Greater Houston, so we match families with someone who lives nearby and can get there in traffic, in the rain, and on a holiday. Drive times below are from our Spring office outside rush hour; the caregiver assigned to you is usually much closer.

Many families first call us in the days around a hospital discharge. Our coordinators know the discharge process at the Texas Medical Center hospitals, the Houston Methodist and Memorial Hermann campuses across the city, HCA Houston Healthcare Northwest, Kingwood and Tomball, St. Luke's, MD Anderson, TIRR and the rehab hospitals, and the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center.
Tell us the planned discharge day and we work backward from it: the home safety assessment and care plan are done before your parent arrives home, the first caregiver is introduced at the door, and the first days cover the things that send people back to the hospital, which are missed medications, falls on the way to the bathroom, dehydration and no one noticing a change. Our hospital-to-home planner gives you a checklist and an exact rate in a few minutes, and discharge planners can refer a patient from the same page.
Plan a hospital discharge
Tell us what is happening at home. A care coordinator answers, day or night. If it is urgent, say so: the next three steps can all happen the same day anywhere inside Beltway 8 and most places beyond it.
A coordinator visits the home, checks for fall risks (rugs, tub, stairs, lighting), reviews medications and meets your loved one. There is no fee for the visit.
Schedule, personal care, meals, medications and appointments, written down so every caregiver follows the same plan and the family can read it in the portal.
The caregiver meets the family before the first shift. If the match is not right, say so and we change it, at no charge.
We publish our rates, which most Houston agencies do not. Hourly care is $24.92 to $29.50 an hour depending on the schedule and the level of care, 24-hour care is $24.92 an hour and live-in care is quoted as a daily rate. There is no assessment fee and no deposit.
Help with mornings, meals, medications and company so the house stays the right place to be.

Home care is one piece. These local programs help with the rest, and our care coordinators will point you to the right office.

Yes. Choose an awake overnight caregiver (usually 8 to 12 hours), a live-in caregiver who sleeps in the home (quoted as a daily rate), or 24-hour care with rotating caregivers who stay awake at $24.92 an hour. A care coordinator helps you pick the one that fits the nights your parent actually has.
Often, yes. Angels Instead is a VA Community Care Network provider, so veterans enrolled at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center can receive Homemaker and Home Health Aide care at home through the VA, and veterans or surviving spouses may qualify for the Aid and Attendance pension. Our two-minute VA quiz tells you where to start, and we handle the authorization.
That is the goal and it is how we schedule. Most families have one primary caregiver and one backup who has also met them, so a sick day never means a stranger at the door. Visit notes after every shift are in the family portal, so you always know who came and what was done.
Before a named storm or a hard freeze your care coordinator confirms the plan with your family: whether your parent stays or evacuates, which caregiver is closest, what medications and supplies are in the home, and how we reach each other if phones go down. We check on clients who depend on power for oxygen or mobility equipment first. Caregivers return as soon as roads are safe.

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.
Angels Instead provided wonderful, compassionate home care. The caregivers were kind, dependable, and truly cared about our loved one. We felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!
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.
