What "aging in place" means
A guide to your options when a parent needs more help at home.
Read moreHappyHelp helps families find private caregivers, put together the information you need to decide, and handle the scheduling and backup coverage that comes with running care on your own. Families hire caregivers directly. We handle the coordination for a flat monthly fee.
Home care agencies do good work. They are hands-off, licensed, and handle the logistics on their end. HappyHelp exists for families who would rather hire private caregivers directly and keep more of each dollar going to care. You hire and pay the caregiver. Every decision stays with your family. We help you find candidates, put together the information you need to decide, handle scheduling, and coordinate backup coverage for the days things come up.
Every family's situation is different, so we start with a conversation. No intake forms. From there, we help you find caregivers, put together the information you need to decide, handle scheduling as things change, and keep backup options ready for the days someone cannot make it. You hire and pay caregivers directly. You keep every decision. We handle everything in between.
A call or visit to learn what your parent needs and what your family is working with.
We draw from our local network of caregivers and share the details that help you decide. You pick who to hire.
We handle the scheduling, coordinate coverage when someone is out, and stay in contact as needs change over time.
Everything needed to make private caregiving workable, without the agency markup.
The core of what we do. We help families find private caregivers, put together the information needed to make a good decision, and stay involved so your family does not have to manage it day to day.
HappyHelp was started after watching our own families struggle through the same situation many of yours are in now. The agencies felt impersonal and expensive. The alternative was an overwhelming amount of work. We built the service we wished had existed.
We are based in Bryan-College Station and focused entirely on this community. When you call, you reach one of us directly, and we know the caregivers we recommend to you.
