“The overwhelming desire of aging Baby Boomers and their families is that they want to stay home and we allow them to do just that.”

Founded in 1999, Dallas-based Home Care Network anticipated this trend and responded with a comprehensive care strategy that allows people to receive hospital-level care at home. Home Care Network is one of the Dallas areas premier healthcare companies that believe ultimate independence promotes self-esteem and dignity within the family unit. Facilitation of self-care needs is a vital part of the home care role.

With a comprehensive menu of services, Home Care Network creates a detailed care plan based on communication with doctors and other healthcare professionals. These services include physical, occupational and speech therapy, medicine management, and assistance with personal hygiene, bathing, and dressing. Specialized staff can also administer such activities as EKGs, blood work, and cardiac and pulmonary care.

To ensure that there are no gaps or mistakes in the care of the patient, the staff at Home Care Network is in constant communication with the patient’s family. This ongoing communication is the key element in allowing people to stay at home while receiving the best possible care. The ability to stay in a familiar setting – rather than a nursing home – does wonders for a person’s state of mind and physical well-being. 

Home Care Network medical staff is also available 24/7. Patients and families can call in and speak directly to a medical professional who has direct access to all carts and medications. The 24/7 referral intake line is 877-270-2001 and the referral intake fax is 866-883-2383. 

With 3 locations in Texas, Home Care Network’s mission is to provide quality, safe and cost-effective delivery of home healthcare services to individuals in need of those services. We are located in Desoto, Rockwall and Palestine.
