Professional Sitter Services
for Houston Seniors
Whether your loved one needs a watchful presence during a hospital stay or a trusted companion at home while family is away — CareWorks Houston provides trained, compassionate sitters available when you need them most.
A Trusted Presence When Your Family Cannot Be There
A sitter is a trained caregiver who stays with your loved one to provide supervision, companionship, safety monitoring, and personal care assistance — either during a hospital stay or at home. Sitters do not replace medical care, but they fill a critical gap: ensuring that your loved one is never left alone, confused, or unsafe during a vulnerable period.
For families managing the demands of work, children, and distance, a CareWorks sitter provides genuine peace of mind. Our sitters are experienced, background-checked, and trained to work with seniors — including those with memory conditions, post-surgical needs, or complex daily routines.
Sitter services are available for a few hours, overnight, or on an ongoing daily basis — and for eligible Houston-area seniors, Medicaid PHC and CAS programs may cover the cost of in-home sitter support at little or no cost to the family.
Hospital Sitters & Home Sitters — We Provide Both
CareWorks Houston offers two distinct sitter services, each designed for a different situation. Many families use both — a hospital sitter during an admission, then home sitter support after discharge.
Hospitals are busy environments. Nurses and staff are stretched across many patients and cannot provide the continuous one-on-one attention that a hospitalized senior often needs. A CareWorks hospital sitter stays at bedside — providing a calm, familiar presence and alerting nursing staff when needed.
- Continuous bedside companionship and supervision
- Preventing falls — especially at night or post-anesthesia
- Monitoring for confusion, distress, or changes in condition
- Communicating with nurses on the patient’s behalf
- Assisting with meals, water, and comfort items
- Keeping family informed with regular updates
- Reducing hospital-related anxiety and disorientation
- Overnight shifts available — 8 hour, 12 hour, or 24 hour
Home sitter services provide a trusted adult presence in the home when family members cannot be there — whether for a few hours while running errands, an evening out, an overnight trip, or on an ongoing daily basis. Home sitters ensure your loved one is safe, comfortable, and not alone.
- Supervision and safety monitoring at home
- Companionship and meaningful conversation
- Assistance with meals, hydration, and light housekeeping
- Medication reminders at scheduled times
- Help with personal care — bathing, dressing, grooming
- Escort to medical appointments or errands
- Overnight stays and 24-hour live-in support
- Medicaid PHC & CAS accepted for eligible seniors
When Houston Families Call CareWorks for a Sitter
Ensuring your loved one is never left alone and confused during an inpatient stay — especially at night or post-surgery.
When a sudden health event requires immediate supervision while family arranges longer-term care.
Overnight or multi-day coverage when the primary family caregiver needs to travel or cannot be present.
The first days home after a hospital stay are high-risk. A sitter ensures safe recovery during this critical transition.
For seniors with dementia or Alzheimer’s who cannot be safely left alone — at home or in a facility setting.
When the primary family caregiver needs a break — a few hours, an evening, or an extended period of rest.

Our sitters are trained in fall prevention, dementia communication, emergency response, and compassionate senior interaction.
We provide overnight and 24-hour sitter coverage — the hours when seniors are most vulnerable and family members most need rest.
We have bilingual sitters available in Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, Telugu, and other languages serving Houston’s diverse communities.
