24-Hour Home Care for Katy Families
Around-the-clock home care in Katy means your loved one always has someone close by. Our caregivers provide continuous supervision and hands-on help with bathing, dressing, toileting and moving safely around the house. They prepare meals, keep up with light housekeeping and give medication reminders, and they keep an eye on safety all day long.
Companionship is a big part of the job too. A caregiver is someone to talk with over breakfast, play a game with or read alongside in the afternoon, and that steady company makes a long day at home feel a lot less lonely.
The night hours get the same care as the daytime ones. A caregiver is there to help your mom or dad get to the bathroom in the middle of the night, steady them on the way back to bed, and sit with them for a while when they wake up confused or unsettled and just need a little reassurance.
A 24/7 caregiver in Katy is there on weekends and holidays as well, and we can help with last-minute needs the same as any other day. Our main service page explains how we coordinate a team of experienced, reliable caregivers for 24-hour home care, so your loved one is looked after every hour of every day.
At Your Side Home Care aspires to be the preeminent home care agency focusing on safety, lifestyle enhancement and positive outcomes.
Shift Care or Live-In Care: Choosing the Right 24-Hour Setup
We cover all 24 hours in one of two ways, and the right one depends mostly on how your loved one sleeps.
Shift-based 24-hour care uses two or more caregivers who take turns, so a trusted, alert caregiver is always awake. Each caregiver works a set shift and then hands off to the next, which keeps everyone rested and ready for whatever the night brings. This setup suits a senior who wanders at night, needs help with toileting during the night, or sometimes wakes up confused and needs some company. Many families start with a few visits a week through our hourly home care and add hours as their loved one's needs grow.
A live-in caregiver in Katy, TX stays in your loved one's home around the clock. The caregiver needs a sleeping bed and an 8-hour break, so they can rest and be ready for the day ahead. That makes live-in care a good match for someone who sleeps through the night. The caregiver gets to know the daily routine and becomes a steady, familiar face in the home, and family members have one person to talk with when they check in. You can read more about how live-in home care works, including what the caregiver needs in the house.
Shift care is the better fit for a senior who needs help at night, since a live-in caregiver has to be able to sleep.
Choosing between the two is exactly what our free consultation is for. We sit down with you and your loved one, talk through how the nights go, the daily routine and any safety worries, and build a care plan around the setup that fits.
When Katy Families Turn to Around-the-Clock Care
Most families come to 24-hour care after something changes. A parent may be up several times a night, or a recent fall has everyone worried about the next one. Sometimes a spouse has been helping day and night and is simply worn out.
Living alone plays a part too. About 760 Katy households are made up of an older adult living on their own, out of roughly 2,000 homes that include someone 65 or older. That's a lot of parents with nobody down the hall when they get up in the night.
Memory loss with wandering is another reason, because continuous supervision keeps someone safe who may no longer spot hazards at home. Our Alzheimer's home care helps seniors stay in the comfort of their own homes as their needs change.
Coming home after a hospital stay is another. Many Katy families bring a loved one home from Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital or Houston Methodist West Hospital, and 24-hour care can be temporary, covering the first weeks of recovery. Our hospital to home care is built for that stretch.
All of the caregivers are awesome but our regular is totally the perfect person for Mom. She does everything we ask and then some…
How At Your Side Sets Up 24-Hour Care in Katy
Everything starts with a care coordinator, who meets with you and your loved one to learn about needs, routines, safety concerns and preferences. From there we create a personalized care plan, and we adjust it over time as things change.
Our 24-hour caregivers in Katy, TX are hand-picked by our owners, Donna Wrabel, LMSW, Rick Wrabel and their son Rudy Wrabel. Every caregiver passes criminal background and reference checks, and the owners spend many hours with each person before they join our staff. We match caregivers to each client by background, experience and personality fit. The owners ask themselves one question about every caregiver: would we feel good about having this person working with our own family members?
The owners stay personally involved in every case, from your first contact through the start of services and beyond. Care managers check in regularly and update the care plan, and families receive updates on progress, changes in needs and schedules. Our 24-hour telephone assistance means fast, reliable help is there whenever it's needed.
Care can grow with your loved one, too, from a few hours a week all the way to full 24-hour coverage, with no hourly minimums.
Paying for 24-Hour Home Care in Katy
Medicare is usually the first thing families ask about. Medicare does not pay for 24-hour-a-day care at home, and it does not cover personal care such as bathing, dressing or using the bathroom when that's the only care someone needs. Most around-the-clock care at home falls into exactly that kind of help, so it's good to know before you plan.
Home care in Texas runs a little below the national figure. The median hourly rate for a non-medical caregiver is $30 in Texas and $35 nationally, based on a survey taken in 2025.
The 24 hour home care cost in Katy for your family depends on how many hours of care your loved one needs and which setup fits best. Live-in care is typically less expensive than hourly care, which is worth weighing during your consultation.

Support for Katy Caregivers Beyond the Home
Katy is the hub of three counties, Harris, Waller and Fort Bend, so the public help open to your family depends partly on which side of the county line you live on.
Families with a Harris County address can turn to the Harris County Area Agency on Aging, whose family caregiver support network offers information about services, help getting access to them, referrals to counseling, support groups and training, and respite care that gives the caregiver a temporary break.
Families in the Fort Bend and Waller parts of Katy are served by the Houston-Galveston Area Agency on Aging, which works with adults 60 and over and people with disabilities, and gives priority to people living with dementia and the family and friends caring for them.
The City of Katy's Fussell Senior Citizen Center on E. Fifth Street hosts the Katy Senior Caregiver Support Group. Anyone caring for a senior can come, there's no sign-up or membership, and a professional is on hand to look after seniors who can't be left at home.
Family caregivers need breaks of their own, and our respite care can cover a few hours, a week, or 24-hour care while you take a vacation. Our page on home care in Katy has more about local hospitals and senior life around town.
