Why We Exist

The YC Foundation provides compassionate support throughout the Greater Houston area, offering in-home senior care, mental health resources, housing solutions and senior home safety assessments. Through our Case Management Program, we assess each individual’s needs and connect them with assistance and other essential resources to support their well-being. Our goal is to bridge the gap between independent living and assisted care. At the YC Foundation, our work restores connection and dignity, one person at a time.

Why We Exist

The YC Foundation serves the Greater Houston area with home attendant services, housekeeping, shopping, cooking, and medication monitoring. Our Case Management Program coordinates home care, home-delivered meals, and other essential services for physically and mentally frail residents.

The need we see

Neurodegenerative illness

Independence fades, needs increase

Conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s reduce mobility, memory, and daily function. Without help, safety and nutrition decline and small problems become emergencies.

Caregivers under strain

Families carry heavy loads

Caregivers trade health, income, and time to keep loved ones at home. Burnout is common and isolation makes it worse. A clear plan and reliable support change everything.

Fragmented systems

Help exists but is hard to reach

Services are scattered across agencies and forms. Case management and warm handoffs keep seniors from falling through the cracks.

What we do

Home attendant services

Care in the home

  • Meal prep and grocery shopping
  • Light housekeeping and laundry
  • Bathing, dressing, and mobility support
  • Companionship and safety checks
Medication monitoring

Safer routines

  • Pill-box setup and reminders
  • Refill coordination and pickup
  • Simple symptom and side-effect logs
Case management

No wrong door

  • Benefits and paperwork navigation
  • Home-delivered meals and transportation
  • Warm handoffs to trusted partners

“A housekeeping visit becomes companionship. A delivered meal becomes comfort. A medication reminder becomes an act of love.”

How we work

Principles

Simple, practical, accountable

  • Start small and improve fast. Ship the basics and refine with feedback.
  • Document the work. Checklists and notes keep care consistent.
  • Partner well. Warm handoffs get people the right help quickly.
  • Be transparent. Share what worked, what did not, and what is next.

Older adults living with neurodegenerative conditions, and the families who support them. We focus on keeping people safe, nourished, and connected at home.

Why we exist

The YC Foundation bridges the gap between independent living and assisted care, between families stretched thin and the support they deserve, between uncertainty and renewed hope. Every senior is more than a diagnosis. They are parents, veterans, neighbors, and friends. Our work restores connection and dignity, one visit at a time.
