Custom Home Care​

Custom Home Care | Personalized In-Home Support | Encore Caregivers

Introduction

Need care that fits your exact needs? Encore Caregivers creates custom home care plans just for you. We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we build care around your unique situation. As a family-owned business in Houston since 2009, we blend skilled care with heartfelt support. Our goal is simple: help you or your loved one stay at home with comfort and dignity.

What is Custom Home Care?

Custom home care means care that fits your exact needs. It starts with a full review of what you need. Then we make a plan just for you. Unlike standard care plans, our custom care changes as your needs change. We adjust help at each step to address what matters most to you. Our approach works for many needs – from basic help to complex care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Home Care

How do you create a custom care plan?
We start with an in-home visit. We look at your needs, home setup, and goals. Then, we draft a care plan that fits just you. You review it, and we make changes until it’s exactly right.
Can my care plan change if my needs change?
Yes! We expect needs to change. We can adjust your plan at any time – add hours, change services, or shift focus. Your care should match your current needs, not last month’s needs.
How do you match caregivers to clients?
We look at skills needed, personality fit, shared interests, and even schedule fit. The right match makes care work better for everyone.
What if the caregiver isn't a good fit?
Just let us know. We’ll find a better match right away. You should feel fully comfortable with your caregiver.
Is there a minimum number of hours for custom care?
We’re more flexible than most agencies. While we do have some minimum visit lengths, we can work with you to find a schedule that makes sense for your needs and budget.
Can family members be part of the care plan?
Absolutely! We see family as part of the care team. We can fill gaps when family can’t be there or provide special skills family may not have.
How soon can custom care start?
In most cases, we can start within 48 hours after your assessment. In urgent cases, we can often begin even sooner.
Do you offer care for special conditions?

Yes, we offer specialized care for many conditions, including Alzheimer’s, dementia, ALS, and recovery after surgery or hospital stays.

Is custom home care covered by insurance?

Our custom home care services are typically paid for privately. Some long-term care insurance policies may provide coverage for our personal care assistance. We can help you review your specific policy details to determine eligibility and assist in exploring various payment options that might be available to you.

How do you ensure quality with custom care?
Our Registered Nurse supervises all care plans. We make regular check-in calls and visits. We also get feedback from clients and families to make sure care meets or exceeds expectations.
