A strong majority of seniors want to stay put. AARP’s 2024 national survey found that 75% of adults age 50 and older want to remain in their current home as they age, and 73% want to stay in their community for as long as possible. Professional in-home care is what makes that possible safely.<\/p>\n

Texas remains one of the more affordable states for care, and in-home care is the most flexible option. In 2025, the median hourly rate for an in-home caregiver in Texas was $30, below the national median of $35.<\/p>\n

Dementia is one of the most common reasons families call for help. About 460,000 Texans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s, and Texas ranks third in the nation for cases and second for Alzheimer’s deaths. Roughly 1 million Texans provide unpaid care for a loved one with dementia. Trained caregivers give these families safe, specialized support at home.<\/p>\n

In-home care is a large and growing sector. The U.S. home care industry reached about $286 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow 22% through 2034, driven by an aging population, value-based care, and rising demand for in-home healthcare.<\/p>\n

Demand for care in our area is set to climb for decades. The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington 60-plus population is projected to grow about 304% between 2010 and 2050, and Texas as a whole is shifting from an “aging” society (13.5% age 65+ in 2020) toward an “ultra-aged” one, with a projected 21.7% age 65 and older by 2060. The 65-and-older group is the fastest-growing age group in the state.<\/p>\n

Families are already carrying an enormous load. In 2024, nearly 12 million family members and other unpaid caregivers provided an estimated 19 billion hours of dementia care, valued at more than $413 billion. Respite and professional support give these caregivers essential relief.<\/p>\n
