Learn More About Care Homes in The Woodlands, TX

Welcome to The Woodlands, an upscale master-planned community north of Houston. Sometimes called “the invisible city” because of its densely timbered layout, this suburban haven is a uniquely alluring and welcoming area with over 8,000 acres of forest.

In The Woodlands, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.

Cost of Care Homes in The Woodlands, TX

The median monthly cost of assisted living is about $3,800 in The Woodlands and $4,000 in the state of Texas, according to Genworth. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.
