Personal Home Care
Personal Assistance Services for Greater Houston
As we enjoy more years of retirement, some of the daily activities we once took for granted become burdensome or even dangerous. Seniors may resort to overuse of convenience food, having a less clean house than when they were younger, accepting a higher than necessary risk of fall injuries, and other compromises. Fortunately, much of this can be avoided with a nurse-designed service plan from Athens Health Services. We'll send aides and caregivers as often as needed, for as long as needed, to provide compassionate, competent assistance with activites of daily living.
Any Time. Anywhere.
Athens Health Services works mornings, days, nights, and weekends. From a few hours per week to 24 hours per day, we'll be there with punctuality and a smile. We offer service plans that are hourly, 24-hour, and even live-in. We work in your home or out, doing your shopping and errands. If you are in a hospital, our private-duty aides can even stay with you to make sure you are well attended.

Our nurse supervisors will help develop a home care service plan to meet your needs, supervise your aide's performance and ensure your satisfaction, and adjust your service plan according to your changing needs.
