About this list

  • Texas lists its license as active.
  • Medicare doesn't rate home care agencies.
  • About Texas's list: Many of these agencies also provide licensed home health care.

How to choose

  1. Check the state still lists the agency as licensed or registered — the source link on each listing goes to the state's own record.
  2. Call two or three agencies and ask the same questions, so you can compare answers.
  3. Ask for the price in writing. Rates vary a lot and we don't publish them.
  4. Medicare doesn't pay for home care on its own. Long-term care insurance, Medicaid waivers or VA benefits sometimes do.

Questions to ask a home care agency

  • Do you run criminal background checks on every caregiver?
  • What training do caregivers get, and who supervises them?
  • Are caregivers your employees, and are you insured and bonded?
  • Is there a minimum number of hours per visit or per week?
  • What is your hourly rate, and what changes it (nights, weekends, two people)?
  • What happens if our regular caregiver is sick or doesn't show up?

What home care is

Non-medical help at home: bathing, dressing, meals, light housework, errands and companionship. Families usually pay for it themselves.

Not the same as home health

Skilled nursing or therapy a doctor orders is home health, which Medicare can cover. Find home health agencies →

What a state license means

The state says the agency met its rules to operate. It is not a rating — states publish no quality scores or prices for home care.
