Compassionate, professional in-home care for seniors and adults across Galveston Island and the wider county — so the people you love keep their routines, their view of the Gulf, and the dignity of staying home.
ome is the porch light left on, the kettle whistling at four, the same chair facing the same window. Right at Home exists to protect those small, ordinary things — the texture of a life already lived, in the place it was lived in.
Our caregivers arrive on the ferry from the mainland each morning, and they stay as long as the day asks them to. We are not a franchise with a 1-800 number. We are your neighbours, on call.
Right at Home Galveston was founded by a retired ICU nurse who couldn't find decent in-home care for her own mother on the West End. Eleven years later, our caregivers still know the families they serve by first name — and the families know theirs.
Every caregiver lives in Galveston County. We do not contract through national staffing agencies — we hire our neighbours, and we keep them.
Serving Galveston, Jamaica Beach, Tiki Island, Bayou Vista, and Crystal Beach since 2014.
We pair families with caregivers who share their rhythms — faith, language, humour, the way they take their coffee. The match is the whole job.
Before anyone clocks a single hour, a registered nurse visits your home — or your loved one's — and writes a plan that everyone signs: the family, the caregiver, and our office. We revise it whenever life changes. There are no surprise bills and no surprise faces.
From the East End historic district out to San Luis Pass, and up the causeway into Texas City, La Marque, and Dickinson. If you're inside Galveston County, we'll get there.
Hourly minimums apply. Rates listed are typical for Galveston County and may shift with overnight shifts, dual-caregiver cases, or specialized dementia training. The first in-home assessment is always free.
Conversation, walks along the Seawall, board games, letter-writing, light errands to Murdock's or the post office. No personal care tasks included.
Bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and incontinence care. Performed by a CNA-trained caregiver with respect for privacy and routine.
Caregivers certified through the Alzheimer's Association CARES curriculum. Includes validation techniques, redirection, and structured daily rhythms.
Two caregivers rotate in 12-hour shifts so someone is always awake and present. Suited for clients who should not be left alone overnight — post-fall, advanced dementia, or hospice support.
Includes meal preparation, medication reminders, mobility transfers, and continuous supervision. A separate flat-rate live-in assessment is required before start.
Transport home from UTMB, meal planning, medication reconciliation, incision checks, and follow-up visit coordination for the first 14 days home.
Short-notice coverage so a spouse or adult child can attend a doctor's appointment, a grandchild's birthday, or simply take a Saturday off the clock.
Laundry, bed linens, kitchen tidy, grocery runs to H-E-B on 61st, and a hot meal on the stove before the caregiver leaves. Often bundled into a personal care shift at no extra charge.
We are not the cheapest care option on the island, and we don't try to be. Here is what your tuition actually buys.
Every caregiver is background-checked through the Texas DPS, bonded, and covered under our liability and workers' comp policies. You are never the insurer.
We commit to continuity. Once a match is made, that caregiver is yours — no rotating cast of strangers, no agency shuffle.
A registered nurse writes every care plan and revisits it quarterly. If something changes — a fall, a new diagnosis — the plan changes with you.
Our office is on 25th Street. A call-out for a no-show or last-minute shift is usually filled in under 90 minutes — even on a holiday weekend.
