Once you contact us, our experienced professionals will help you and your family create a customized plan of care while choosing from our full menu of options.

Personal Care

Our non-medical in-home eldercare services include the following:

Companionship Care

It’s no secret that seniors need companionship and socialization. It’s one of the primary reasons some of them move into assisted living communities or nursing homes. However, other seniors feel that moving into a nursing home or retirement facility is too overwhelming and restrictive. That’s where TexMed’s Companionship Care services come in. As part of our Personal Care portfolio, our services provide seniors with the companionship they need to stay active, happy, and healthy.

Thoroughly screened in advance, our friendly caregivers form close bonds with their clients while keeping them active and engaged in life; crucial factors for maintaining one’s mental and emotional health as they grow older.

Once we’ve carefully matched your loved one with a compatible companion uniquely qualified for their personality and interests, that caregiver will engage them in healthy activities that include:

· Meal preparation with a focus on nutrition
· Crafts, scrapbooking, and playing games for mental stimulation.
· Going on outings together to encourage human interaction.
· Discussing life experiences while reminiscing about past events
· Conversing about current and historic topics for memory enhancement
· Outdoor activities like gardening or other yard work
· Walking outside or other forms of exercise that promote overall body and mind health.

Household Duties

There are many reasons why aging adults need help with household chores. Some are physically unable to safely perform certain tasks, while others may have difficulty remembering how to do them. At TexMed, our certified home health aides can remove your burden by assisting those who are unable to do light housework themselves.

While helping clients maintain their independence, our compassionate caregivers can assist with the following Household Duties:

· Dusting and vacuuming
· Laundry and ironing
· Making beds and changing linens
· Dining out with clients at restaurants
· Accompanying clients on appointments, errands, or social functions
· Assisting with general pet care
· Cleaning out and organizing closets
· Meal preparation and cleanup
· Taking out the trash

Meal Planning

A decline in cognitive abilities and physical health can make meal planning difficult for seniors. Research indicates that older adults who live alone are more likely to be malnourished because of poor meal preparation and eating habits. Others have trouble meeting their daily nutritional needs because of health-related food restrictions imposed by their doctors. And that’s where our Meal Planning services come in.

TexMed caregivers can not only assist with grocery shopping, preparing meals, and serving food but can also provide essential nutritional counseling that helps clients make better choices. This counseling can be vital for helping seniors with health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure stay on track with their dietary goals.

Our affordable and dependable senior meal assistance services include:

· Recipe research and meal planning (Including your loved one’s favorite dishes!)
· Grocery shopping
· Caloric monitoring and proper nutrition
· Meal preparation
· Establishing an appealing eating environment

Medication Supervision

Medication errors send scores of seniors to hospital emergency departments each year. At TexMed, our reliable Medication Supervision services help aging adults stay healthy and safe. Our program is designed to help seniors manage their medications and ensure they are taking the prescribed doses at the correct times. We also help clients keep track of their medical appointments and provide them with educational materials on various health topics.

Here are some additional ways our professional in-home caregivers can streamline your medication management program:

· Setting up an organizational pillbox
· Ensuring proper medication storage
· Logging and reporting medication use
· Prescription refill reminders and pickups

Home Health

Delivered by licensed medical professionals, we also offer these more specialized in-home services:

Intravenous Therapy

Intravenous therapy, often called IV therapy, is the process of delivering medication or other treatments directly into a patient’s vein. This can be done through a needle inserted into the arm, or by using a catheter to access a larger vein in the body. IV therapy is commonly used to deliver fluids and medications to patients who are unable to take them orally, for blood transfusions, or other treatments.

Intravenous therapy provides patients with many benefits, including the fact it allows them to receive essential medications and treatments quickly and easily. In some cases, it may be the only way to deliver treatments and medications. Relatively safe and easy to administer, IV therapy is helpful for patients who are unable or unwilling to take oral medications.

TexMed Home Health has a team of experienced nurses ready to provide quality care to patients who require IV therapy. Our skilled nurses can administer treatments and medications quickly, efficiently, and reliably while ensuring patients receive the best care possible.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy (OT) is a form of rehabilitation that helps people with disabilities regain and improve their skills so they can participate in normal activities and live as independently as possible. One main goal of occupational therapy is to help patients return to work. OT is also useful for those with physical, mental, or emotional disabilities.

For instance, someone who has suffered a stroke may need help relearning how to use their hands and arms, while a person with chronic depression may need assistance learning how to socialize again.

At TexMed Home Health, our highly skilled and experienced occupational therapists help patients regain their ability to perform daily activities. Our Occupational Therapy services range from helping someone relearn how to eat, dress, use the restroom, or drive to teaching them adaptive techniques and devices.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy (PT) provides a variety of benefits for patients recovering from an injury or surgery or for those with a chronic health condition. When dealing with pain, stiffness, or weakness, the goal of PT is to help patients regain strength and mobility while improving their overall quality of life.

TexMed Home Health offers a wide selection of Physical Therapy services that can help you or a loved one heal from an injury or surgery or manage a chronic condition. Available on both an inpatient and outpatient basis, our team of experienced therapists will work with you to create a customized treatment plan that best meets your specific needs.

Skilled Nursing

Studies have shown that receiving medical care at home can speed up recovery time and get you back into a normal routine faster. Ideal for patients of all ages, our experienced registered nurses – assisted by licensed vocational nurses – implement a comprehensive, highly individualized plan of care in conjunction with the client’s physician. The dedicated nurses from TexMed Home Health are on call 24/7 so you always have access to the care you need.

Our Skilled Nursing services include the following:
