Our home-based healthcare services

The home health aides at UT Health East Texas Health Home Health provide a variety of services, including:

Companion care services: We recognize that loneliness can exacerbate health issues and decrease quality of life, especially when other family members live far away. Our companion care services aim to mitigate loneliness and social isolation. Our caregivers engage in enjoyable activities with patients, such as playing board or card games, organizing social outings, doing arts and crafts, sharing conversations on common interests, and accompanying clients to social events like movies or dining out.
Dementia care: Our team provides compassionate home healthcare for adults with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia. We focus on tailoring our care to each client’s personal preferences, interests, and routines, creating a personalized plan that nurtures all aspects of their well-being. This approach ensures a high-quality, empathetic care experience in the comfort of their own home.
Hospice care: Hospice care, available in various settings like homes and nursing facilities, focuses on providing comprehensive comfort and support for both the patient and their family. It involves a multidisciplinary team of skilled professionals, including nurses, doctors, social workers, and spiritual advisors. This care aims to manage pain and symptoms effectively while respecting the patient’s wishes to remain at home, often resulting in higher satisfaction and better management of needs than traditional end-of-life care.
Occupational therapy: Occupational therapy focuses on improving daily living activities such as dressing, bathing, and cooking. It’s particularly beneficial for managing chronic conditions like diabetes, heart failure, COPD, and cognitive decline, aiding in independence and safety. Occupational therapists work closely with patients and caregivers to develop personalized strategies for managing these conditions, emphasizing energy conservation, stress management, and safe practices
Personal care services: Our in-home caregivers provide assistance with daily activities like mobility, personal hygiene, eating, and incontinence care. They ensure your loved one maintains good self-care routines, including skincare, hair washing, dental hygiene, and dressing. This personalized support in the familiar environment of their own home ensures they receive dedicated attention to their needs and comfort.
Physical therapy: Our physical therapists are integral in transitioning patients from inpatient care to home, evaluating and optimizing their living environments. We offer personalized therapy plans in collaboration with physicians, targeting improved movement and reduced pain, for conditions like post-stroke recovery, post-injury, post-surgery, and fall prevention.
Specialty rehabilitation: UT Health East Texas Home Health provides specialty rehabilitation for patients dealing with a number of conditions, including congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, low vision, multiple sclerosis (MS) and ALS, stroke, and more.
Speech therapy: Speech therapy goes beyond improving speech, also aiding in communication and addressing swallowing difficulties. It’s beneficial for conditions like post-stroke recovery, offering convenience and personalized attention at home. At UT Health East Texas Home Health, we provide tailored speech therapy for seniors, focusing on cognitive communication aspects and speech mechanics, helping them express themselves effectively and overcome communication barriers.
Travel companion services: Home caregivers help people who have trouble leaving their house due to old age, a disability, or not being able to move easily for a while. They assist with everyday tasks and take you places like the grocery store, doctor’s appointments, or to see friends and family. This makes sure you can still do important things and enjoy getting out.
