Welcome to Practical Care Continuum, where our employees make our company! For the past 10 years, Practical Care Continuum has established itself as a dynamic, progressive organization, which strives to deliver client centered care. We understand that our ultimate success is dependent upon client satisfaction and quality home care delivery.

Practical Care Continuum offers families in Travis, Williamson, Hays and Bell Counties a practical and loving choice for senior home care.img4.gif

Studies show that 97% of people over the age of 70 prefer to live at home. Staying at home promotes independence and joy in life. Many families often try to honor this choice, but the added responsibility it brings can take its toll on an already hectic life.

We are different than other home care companies in that we have social workers who manage our clients. You can depend on our experience to help you through your caregiving journey. We are also proud to be locally owned and operated. The buck stops here!

For a few hours or a whole day, once a week or every day, Practical Care Continuum is dedicated to providing the highest quality, cost-effective home care solutions, so our clients can enjoy their independence, enhanced quality of life, and peace of mind.

Our trained caregivers are experienced, compassionate and willing to support your needs, as well as those of the client including:

  • Personal care with everyday tasks like bathing, grooming and dressing
  • Companionship; whether it's reading, playing games, or enjoying a meal together
  • Light housekeeping and laundry
  • Medication supervision
  • Transportation including shopping, errands, and doctors’ visits
  • Meal planning and preparation - our trained caregivers encourage a healthy diet andto help ensure proper nutrition

Our office staff is on call 24 hours a day should an emergency arise. There is always someone available who can help. Coordination of care is always managed by a social worker with geriatric experience and is included in our costs.

Ashby Memorial Method

Cognitive Retention Therapy (CRT) also known as the Ashby Memory Method is a Cognitive therapy for dementia, based on the research of Dr. Mira Ashby.  The Ashby Memory Method is a brain fitness program of week-by-week memory exercises and activities scientifically designed to improve brain fitness and function for seniors with Alzheimer’s, other forms of dementia and memory loss.

It is personalized for the participant and can be done in the privacy and comfort of your home with a family member or a caregiver. 

Practical Care is proud to launch our new program for persons with memory problems. Recently developed in Canada by the Alzheimer’s Innovation Institute, the Ashby Memory method has shown amazing results on those with mild to moderate memory loss. 

Our staff is excited about this new program and the results we have already seen. As a stand-alone or included as part of our regular home care, the Ashby Memory Method is a must-have service. "Brain fitness when you need it most."

What Our People Are Saying...

Even after just one week, it is obvious that Morrojeane really likes Jenny and enjoys her being here and the assistance she provides. I sincerely appreciate the interest and care the Jenny gives to Morrojeane. In my opinion, Jenny is definitely an excellent representative of Practical Care. Thank you!"- Gary Julian
