What Is Home Health Care?

Home health care provides skilled medical services in a patient's home, ordered by a physician and delivered by licensed professionals. Services typically include skilled nursing, physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical social services, and personal care assistance. Texas licenses these agencies through the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) as Home and Community Support Services Agencies (HCSSAs).

Home health is often the right choice for patients recovering from surgery or hospitalization, managing chronic conditions, or needing skilled medical care while remaining in their own home. Most services are covered by Medicare and Texas Medicaid (STAR+PLUS) when ordered by a physician and deemed medically necessary.
