Is this the right kind of care?
If any of these sound familiar, this service is probably the right fit:
- A discharge date is set and your parent lives alone
- The discharge instructions cover meds, follow-ups, equipment, and diet — and nobody can be there all day
- Your parent was weak or unsteady before the hospital stay and will be weaker after it
- You are worried about a fall, a missed medication, or ending up back in the ER
- Rehab is ending and the therapist says someone should be home for the first weeks
- Family lives out of town and the logistics are landing on one person
What post-hospital recovery care includes
The first two weeks home are when recoveries hold or fall apart — and they are usually the weeks with the least support. A recovery caregiver covers the practical work the discharge instructions assume someone will do.
- The ride home — pickup at the hospital or rehab, and a steady arm from the car to the recliner
- Settling in safely — bed made, walkways cleared, essentials within reach, first meal ready
- Prescription pickup and medication reminders — new prescriptions filled promptly and prompted on schedule from the discharge list
- Meals that match the plan — cooking to the discharge diet, plus hydration reminders
- Bathing, dressing, and toileting help — hands-on support while strength returns
- Mobility support — help with transfers, walkers, stairs, and moving the way the therapist showed
- Transportation to follow-ups — the appointments that keep the recovery on track actually get attended
- A second set of eyes — caregivers report changes in appetite, pain complaints, swelling, or confusion to your family so you can call the doctor early instead of late
What recovery care does not include
We are a non-medical agency, licensed by the State of Texas for Personal Assistance Services — license #020448. Our caregivers do not change wound dressings, give injections, manage IV lines, or make clinical judgments; that work belongs to your parent's doctor and any home health team the doctor orders. We will never promise that home care prevents readmission — no one can promise that. What we can say is that meals eaten, medications taken on time, and follow-ups attended are exactly the things readmissions commonly trace back to, and those are the things we handle.
Start the plan before discharge day
The best time to call is when the discharge planner first mentions a date. We can meet your family at the hospital or rehab facility, sit with the discharge instructions, and turn them into a real schedule — who is there when, what gets cooked, which appointments need rides. Discharge planners across DFW coordinate with agencies like ours daily, so tell yours that non-medical support is arranged; it often makes the discharge itself go smoother.
Built to taper off
Recovery care should shrink as strength returns. Because there are no contracts, families typically step down from full days to a morning visit, then to a couple of mornings a week — without renegotiating anything. And because we have no levels-of-care pricing, the hourly rate is the same on the hard first day as it is on the easy last one. If a setback happens, hours scale back up just as simply.

What this costs
We publish our rates — most agencies don’t. Two things to know before you compare: our rate is one flat hourly rate around the clock, and it does not increase when care needs increase. There are no “levels of care” here.

Questions families ask
How fast can care start after discharge?
Care can often start within 24 hours of your call, and in many cases we can have a caregiver ready the day your parent comes home. The earlier you call — even before the discharge date is final — the smoother the first day goes.
Can you really meet us at the hospital?
Yes. We do free assessments at home, in the hospital, or at a rehab facility. Meeting before discharge means the care plan reflects what the discharge planner actually ordered, and your parent meets the caregiver as part of coming home rather than as a stranger at the door.
How is this different from Medicare home health?
Home health is skilled medical care — nurses and therapists who visit for short appointments under a doctor's order, often paid by Medicare. We are non-medical Personal Assistance Services, there for the hours in between with meals, bathing, reminders, and supervision. Most recovering seniors need both, and the two work side by side.
Will your caregivers work alongside home health or hospice?
Yes, we do it every day. The nurse handles wounds and vitals; our caregiver handles everything daily living — and makes sure your parent is up, fed, and ready when the nurse or therapist arrives. Hospitals and home health agencies are comfortable working with us because our non-medical scope is clear.
How long do families usually keep recovery care?
Commonly two to six weeks — long enough to get through the risky early period and regain strength. Some families taper from full days to a morning visit; some discover a small amount of ongoing help is worth keeping. There are no contracts, so you adjust or stop anytime.
Can the caregiver drive my parent to follow-up appointments?
Yes. Transportation is part of the service — follow-up visits, therapy sessions, the pharmacy, and the grocery store. Missed follow-up appointments are one of the common reasons recoveries go backward, and a ride with a steady arm solves it.
Does insurance pay for recovery care at home?
Medicare generally does not pay for non-medical care, but long-term care insurance often does — and we help families file the claim and handle the paperwork. Our rates are published, the minimum visit is four hours, and the rate never increases with your parent's care needs.
