Families in San Antonio can use our free 72-hour caregiver matching service to go from a short intake form to vetted caregiver video profiles they can review at home. You describe the help you need. We match that request to caregiver profiles with video, so you can see and hear a person before you decide whom to meet.
The match itself is free. After you choose a caregiver, the in-home support you hire is a separate arrangement. Use this page to see each step, the kinds of help we match, and how San Antonio families often plan around care.
How the Free 72-Hour Matching Process Works
Our San Antonio matching service takes families from a short intake form to vetted caregiver video profiles within 72 hours, at no charge for the match. You stay in control of who you contact after you watch the profiles.
Start with the initial form. Share who needs help, your area of San Antonio, the hours you need, language or household preferences, and the type of support you want, such as companionship, personal care, memory support, respite, help after a hospital stay, or around-the-clock coverage.
Next, we review what you submitted and match it to vetted caregivers whose profiles fit that request. Matching is based on the needs you listed, not on a cold list of names with no context.
Then you receive video profiles. Within 72 hours, you get caregiver videos you can watch on your own schedule. A video profile lets your family see how a caregiver presents themselves before anyone comes to the house.
Finally, you choose next steps. Review the videos with siblings or other decision-makers, pick the people you want to speak with, and move forward only with the profiles that feel like a fit. If the first set is not right, you can update the form and request another match.
Who This Service Helps in San Antonio
This free matching service is for San Antonio families who need reliable in-home help for an older parent, spouse, or other relative, including households where a senior lives alone. It is built for people who want a faster way to compare caregivers than calling around with no video and no shortlist.
San Antonio is home to 190,908 residents age 65 and older, including 22,716 residents age 85 and older. About 52,868 seniors in the city live alone, and the median household income is $62,917. U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey figures describe that local population. Those counts are for the city of San Antonio, not for Texas as a whole.
Adult children often coordinate care from across town or from another city. A video profile is easier to share in a family thread than a stack of paper resumes. If you are still mapping local options, start on our San Antonio in-home care hub and complete the matching form when you are ready to see caregiver videos.
Care You Can Match, From Companionship to 24-Hour Help
You can request companion visits, personal care, memory support at home, respite for family caregivers, help after a hospital stay, or 24-hour live-in coverage, and we match those needs to caregiver video profiles. Name the kind of help you need on the form so the profiles you receive line up with real days in your household.
Companion care is a common first request when someone needs conversation, meals, appointments, and a steady presence, but not hands-on bathing or dressing. Personal care is a better match when daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, toileting, or mobility support are part of the routine.
When nights, weekends, or all-day coverage are the issue, ask for 24-hour live-in care on the form so profiles reflect that schedule. Family caregivers who need a break can request respite care for a few hours or a few days. If your relative is coming home from a stay in the hospital, hospital discharge care can cover the first stretch at home while you sort follow-up visits, medications, and a longer plan.
You do not need to know the label before you start. Describe a typical day, the hours you cannot cover, and any safety concerns. We use that picture to send profiles, and you decide which videos to pursue.
When Memory, Thinking, and Daily Function Change
Dementia is a general term for a decline in memory, thinking, and daily function that interferes with everyday activities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention describes those effects on memory, thinking, and day-to-day function. This page does not diagnose any condition. Only a clinician can do that.
If memory loss or confusion is part of what you are seeing, say so on the intake form. You can ask for memory care at home so the video profiles you receive reflect experience with reminders, calm routines, and supervision during the day. Keep the description practical: missed medications, wandering risk, trouble with meals, or sundowning in the evening are the details that help a match.
Video profiles are useful here because several relatives can watch the same caregiver introduce themselves before anyone meets your loved one. That shared review often reduces last-minute disagreement about who should come into the home.
