A six-resident group home in Texas City, Texas
A small house, a quiet life, tended with care.
Pam's Private Care Home is a licensed residential group home for older adults who need a hand with daily living — without the cold hum of an institution. Six residents. One roof. Three home-cooked meals a day, and someone who knows your name at every hour.

Our Home
A house, not a facility — built around six people.
Pam opened the doors of her own home on the west side of Texas City in 2009, after a decade of running memory-care floors for a larger outfit and tiring of the fluorescent, overscheduled rhythm that came with them. She wanted a house where the coffee pot was always on, where the porch actually got sat on, and where the people who needed help bathing, dressing, or remembering their pills could still feel like they lived somewhere — not stayed somewhere.
Today, Pam's Private Care Home is licensed by the State of Texas as a Type B assisted-living residence for up to six adults. We keep the number small on purpose. With six residents and a care team that knows each one by name, by habit, and by story, we can do what the larger buildings cannot: notice the small things. A missed meal. A new ache. A favourite song come on the radio. Care at this scale is not a service we sell — it is the day we live, together, in the house.

Care & Rates
What we do, plainly.
Below is what your monthly residency includes, and what we charge when a resident needs a little more than the standard. Rates are quoted in US dollars and reviewed once each year. We will walk through every line with you before move-in — never an invoice you didn't expect.
Three Home-Cooked Meals Daily
A rotating seasonal menu cooked on-site, plus snacks and drinks available any hour. We accommodate diabetic, low-sodium, soft, and pureed diets without upcharge.
Includedin monthly rate
Medication Management
Ordering, tracking, and supervised administration of all prescription and over-the-counter medications, with weekly reconciliation against the resident's pharmacy list.
$295/ month add-on
Furnished Private & Semi-Private Rooms
Each resident has a bed, dresser, nightstand, lamp, and linens. Bring your own chair, quilt, or photographs — we want the room to look like yours, not ours.

Why Pam's
Six residents is a promise, not a capacity.
-
01
Consistency of caregivers The same two staff members work the same four days each week. Your loved one is not introduced to a new face every Tuesday.
-
02
Home-cooked, never tray-delivered Meals are eaten together at one long oak table. Diets are accommodated, but no one eats alone in their room unless they wish to.
-
03
Quiet, residential setting A single-family home on a tree-lined street in west Texas City — no parking lots, no intercoms, no day-room televisions left running.
-
04
Transparent, flat-rate pricing One monthly rate covers room, board, care, and activities. Add-ons are itemised on the move-in sheet and never billed without your written okay.
