How much does assisted living cost in Houston?
Greater Houston assisted living averages $3,500 to $6,500 per month for a private suite. Memory care runs $4,500 to $8,500. Independent living runs $2,500 to $5,000. Add-ons for medication management and higher care levels are common.
Houston is mid-priced relative to the national market — cheaper than Austin or Dallas suburbs, more expensive than smaller Texas metros. The price you see on a community's brochure is almost never the all-in monthly cost. Levels of care are tiered: a one-pill-twice-daily resident pays one rate; a resident who needs two-person transfers pays much more. Typical add-ons in Houston: $500-$1,500/month for medication management, $300-$800/month for incontinence care, $400-$1,200/month for two-person assist. The Texas Medical Center corridor and the Memorial / Galleria zips skew premium; outer suburbs (Cypress, Tomball, Pearland) skew more affordable. Ask any community for their full care-level pricing sheet, not the starting rate.
