For anyone who needs a shoulder to lean on or someone to talk to who understands what your caregiver situation may be; check out this wonderful resource being offered by our own City of Katy Fussell Senior Center
We know that being a caregiver for a senior loved one can be one of the most rewarding, yet stressful experiences imaginable. We invite anyone caring for a loved one aged 55+ to join us for our monthly Katy Senior Caregiver Support Group for discussion, education, and community. Guest speakers and local senior service providers will be in attendance to answer any questions you may have.
Recognizing the need for time away, we encourage caregivers to find alternative care for their loved ones during this time. We know this isn't always possible, so we will have a dedicated senior expert available to engage seniors while the group meets.
Please feel free to reach out to City of Katy Social Services Director, Amanda Di Dio at [email protected], with any questions regarding the Katy Senior Caregiver Support Group.
📢 Don't forget that Daylight Savings will end tonight (Nov 5th) at 2:00 a.m. and we will "Fall Back" an hour.

Enjoy your extra hour, whether you are sleeping or jump-starting the day "early"!!

📢(Thursday 7/6/2023): Tonight, there will likely be intermittent water service interruptions for residents on Wildwood Ln., Woodhaven Ct., Woodcreek Cove Ln., Wildflower Ct., Heatherwood Ct., and Park Point Ln., in the Woodcreek Reserve Subdivision. A contractor for TXDOT is upgrading the City of Katy water service lines along the FM 1463 Expansion Project. Water service impacts may be experienced between 9 PM (7/6/23) and 6 AM (7/7/23). For related project updates, monitor www.cityofkaty.com/news and social media pages.
For questions or concerns, please contact Public Works at 281-391-4820 or email at [email protected].
💡Did you know… making sure your sprinkler heads are positioned away from paved areas will decrease run-off, increase water absorption to your plants and lawn, and reduce how much water you use which saves money on your water bill?
The City of Katy asks residents and businesses to continue using daily water conservation techniques so we can do our part in reducing water usage. Weekly tips on how to conserve water can be found at https://buff.ly/3NGBgdZ.
