Recommendations for a home health care agency
Posted by Brief-Ad7093@reddit | plano | View on Reddit | 9 comments
I have an elderly relative who has become incapacitated and will soon be discharged to home. He will need assistance that will exceed his wife’s abilities. Has anyone had a good experience with an area home health care agency.

I’ve heard Visiting Angels mentioned often when people ask about reliable home care options.

Hi!! Veritas Home Health is a wonderful Plano based company. They took care of my great grandpa until he went to hospice. The nurses were so wonderful and took the time to make sure everything was done correctly. This company truly cares for their patients and their needs, and if you need any information they will point you to the right direction. The phone number is 972-519-0308!

Thank you. I wanted to hear from someone who had a personal experience with a company. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

We have been very pleased with Enhabit Home Health Care.

I’m curious, too. My wife has adult-onset muscular dystrophy and will eventually need supplementary care when I have to leave the house for more than a few minutes. Would rather not just pick providers at random. Hoping her doctors can recommend a reputable company when the time comes, but I’d also like to do my research.

There should be a social worker at the hospital who will set you up for this. If any part of you feels like he should not be released to home due to safety concerns, make sure to vocalize that.

my experience with social workers at the hospital (2 different hospitals, one in Plano and one in Virginia) is pretty dismal. They will give you names from a list. This is no guarantee of quality. The home health care agency name I got from a hospital in Plano literally did not show up the first day. UGH.
But you are absolutely correct in your other point. Don't go home if you can't navigate it.
