Loving Arms is a family-owned home care agency in greater Houston with no long-term contract requirement. You can start with a few hours a week, increase to full-time support, pause, or stop — whenever your family needs. No minimum commitment, no termination fees, no paperwork battles.
For Houston families navigating home care for the first time, the fine print matters. Here is exactly what Loving Arms' no-contract model means for you.
Every care arrangement with Loving Arms is month-to-month. There is no six-month or annual commitment. You decide how long care continues — we never pressure your family into a longer agreement.
Needs change — sometimes quickly. A hospital discharge, a family member's return from out of town, or a change in your loved one's condition can all shift what's needed. Just call us and we adjust.
If you decide to pause or end care — for any reason — there is no termination fee and no required notice window designed to trap you. You simply let us know and we stop billing.
Not every caregiver is the right match. If the first introduction doesn't click, tell us. We find another option without a scheduling fee or any formal process — it's part of how we work.
During the free in-home assessment we give you a clear rate — $25–$35/hr for private pay — before any care begins. No hidden minimums, no automatic rate escalations tied to a contract term.
A contract is not why families stay with us. Families stay because their loved one is safe, comfortable, and well-cared-for — and because we listen and show up, every visit.
Most national franchise agencies charge more per hour and require more commitment. Here is how Loving Arms compares on the things families care about most.
