Planning care in Spring

Spring sits only about 121 feet above sea level in a humid subtropical climate, with long hot, humid summers and mild winters, so air conditioning reliability is a safety matter for older clients. Interstate 45 is the main route toward Houston and The Woodlands, and caregivers should expect heavy traffic at rush hour. There are about 21,900 homes, and public transit information is thin, so a car or a driver is usually needed.
