We know most people want to age with dignity and respect and to remain comfortable in their own home. We can help you or your loved ones do so. We provide both in-home personal care and respite care services to allow individuals to continue to live independently in their own homes.
Trained caregivers offer basic-need services and provide physical and mental health support for their clients. When health issues prevent older adults from performing simple tasks, impair their mobility, or put their safety and well-being at risk, their options may be limited. This is where our Family Service Older Adults Program steps in to lend a gentle hand.
Being able to live in the comfort of your own home can help a person live a longer, healthier, better quality life.
Older adults often leave their homes less frequently which can cause social isolation and alienation, leading to depression, cognitive decline, and other health challenges.
17% of adults in the United States provide care for another adult. Respite services offer the opportunity for caregivers to take care of themselves.
While these things may seem simple, they can become more difficult as one gets older.
As these tasks become harder to complete, clients begin to do less both in and outside of their homes. The Independent Older Adults Program assists clients with their basic needs to help them live in the comfort of their own homes with dignity and support.
We help older adults or those over 18 years of age with a disability remain independent in their own homes with the assistance of supportive services.
Respite services offer caregivers the opportunity to go to work, complete their daily activities, run errands, and enjoy social activities with ease of mind. Respite care also offers our clients another friend outside of their family and caregiver.
Family Service respite services are offered for caregivers of older adults or individuals over 18 years of age with a disability. The caregiver helps determine the weekly schedule based on their individual personal needs.

Family Service gets to know each of our clients, and we offer services and referrals outside of our in-home care services to ensure you are taken care of in every aspect of your life.
Respite services are offered for their caregivers. Services are provided in-home and on a sliding scale fee. We do ask for a minimum of two hours weekly for in-home personal care and respite services.
In-home services are offered in various counties throughout San Antonio. Services are provided on a sliding scale fee based on income and adjust to meet the individualized needs of each client. After your initial assessment, we create a payment structure.
Services are offered on a sliding fee scale that is based on the client’s ability to pay. A complete evaluation and assessment are conducted on the first home visit, with on-going supervision at least every 90 days. Follow up visits are scheduled to monitor client needs and to ensure continued appropriateness of services.
Older adults aged 55 and over and individuals with disabilities aged 18 and over are eligible for in-home care services. Those who are caregivers for these individuals are also eligible for respite care services.
An individual care plan is created to help with your in-home care or respite needs. We do ask for a minimum of two hours of services per week.

There is an initial in-take call where we assess your situation and your needs. We then conduct an in-home review to ensure we are a good fit for you. During the first in-home visit, we create an individualized care plan for you. From there, services begin based on your individual care plan.
Family Service in-home care and respite services have continued. Many of these individuals need assistance now more than ever to ensure their basic needs are being met. Before each visit, our team members call ahead to ask our clients a series of questions to ensure they are still feeling well. Our team members take their temperature before starting each day and every four hours throughout the day. They also wear a mask and gloves for their entire visit. These items are changed between each home visit. The safety of our team and our clients is of the utmost importance to us.
