Accentcare Home Health and Personal Care Services of Texas

Accentcare Home Health and Personal Care Services of Texas is a homecare agency serving Austin, Texas and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.

Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.

In Texas, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and generally must maintain a Personal Assistance Services (PAS) Agency License. Texas requires licensure as a Personal Assistance Services Agency for non-medical home care.

Payment Options: In Texas, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like STAR+PLUS, Community Living Assistance and Support Services (CLASS). These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact Texas Health and Human Services or visit https://www.hhs.texas.gov/services/health/medicaid-chip/programs-services/long-term-care to learn about eligibility and how to apply.

When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns. Visit Texas Health and Human Services Commission for more information about homecare services in Texas.

Licensing requirements and regulations may change. We recommend verifying current requirements directly with your state's licensing agency.
