In the state of Texas, there are 2,100 licensed home health agencies, of which 612 are in the Dallas area. That’s a lot of options! So how do you choose a well-regarded agency that offers the services you need.
We wanted to share some helpful information from the medicare.gov website about how to navigate your home health choices. They suggest taking these steps:
- Find home health agency services in your area that provide the services you need, like nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology services, social services, and home health services.
- Compare the quality of the home health agencies you’re considering using 2 kinds of quality ratings. One rating uses 8 quality measures to compare how agencies perform and the other rating comes directly from patients who got care from the agency. (Check out MaximaCare’s great quality scores.)
- Use this checklist to help you choose a home health agency that best meets your needs.
For more information, call MaximaCare Home Health, an Arcy Healthcare company, at 972-471-1111.
Founder, CEO at Arcy Healthcare
Hello,
My name is Jimmie Stapleton. I am the founder and CEO of Arcy Healthcare. Arcy Healthcare includes Arcy Hospice, Arcy Supportive Care, MaximaCare Home Health and Arcy at Home.
Arcy Hospice was opened in 2007 to provide care and support for individuals and families facing a life limiting illness. It was established after my wife Ellen, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer, had completed her chemo and radiation therapies. At that time, things were looking positive, and we wanted to do something for our community that had been so supportive of our family during her treatments. Unfortunately, the cancer returned a few years later, and she subsequently passed away under our care in 2010.
In the years that followed, I began to see the need to provide the same level of excellent care to patients across the continuum of care. Therefore, we have added a home health division (MaximaCare Home Health), a palliative care division (Arcy Supportive Care), and a home care division, (Arcy at Home). With the addition of these divisions, we can meet most of the post-acute care needs for you and your family in your home.
I started Arcy Hospice with my wife as my motivation to provide exceptional care and support in the patient’s home, where they are surrounded by family and where they feel most comfortable. I’m proud to say that our staff provides some of the best in home care in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.
Please let us know if we can enrich the quality of life for you or a loved one.
Sincerely,
Jimmie Stapleton – Founder and CEO
