Our parents and their generation deserve quality care. Sheltering Arms knows how to help.

Sheltering Arms Senior Services is a nonprofit, United Way agency that has served the needs of seniors and their families since 1893. Sheltering Arms Senior Services promotes and preserves the dignity and independence of Houston’s elderly through the most comprehensive array of quality, affordable services for the elderly and caregivers in the Greater Houston Metropolitan area.

Sheltering Arm’s Senior Services programs support research showing that an elder’s greatest fear is being institutionalized – and a caregiver’s greatest need is for specific, accurate information and education about the options available to help ensure the well-being of an elderly loved one.

Relying on a staff of professional counselors, the organization’s goals are:

  • To help employees find quality elder care, locally and nationwide
  • To ensure access to community resources for elder care services
  • To increase the amount of quality education and information available to employees on elder care options
  • To improve the quality of care and preserve dignity for elders in the community

As a primary partner in Corporate HANDS, Sheltering Arms Senior Services develops elder care programs to serve the needs of corporate members, their employees and the community.
