Why Choose Professional Caretakers?

We Are Community Based

Professional Caretakers is the largest non-franchised, family owned home care agency in Texas providing personal care in clients home for over 22 years.

We Offer Continuity of Care

Professional Caretakers holds all licenses that the state of Texas requires for a home health agency, including Licensed Home Health Service (LHHS), and Personal Assistance Service (PAS). What does that mean for our clients? When the level of care increases, clients do not have to move to a skilled agency or a nursing home. They can enjoy the independence and dignity of staying in their own home.

Caretaker Supervision By A Registered Nurse

Our registered nurses can delegate to caretakers. This eliminates the need for families to contract with additional home health providers. For example, with RN oversight, our caregivers can handle many skilled tasks:

• Administer medications
• Organize pill minders
• Manage tube feeding
• Administer enemas and suppositories
• Give insulin injections
• Manage catheter care
• Give eye, ear, and nose drops
• Check blood pressure and vital signs

Caretaker Training For Debilitating Conditions

Our Caretakers receive continuing education and training in the care of the conditions and impairments that afflict many elderly loved ones. With Professional Caretakers, there is no need to change home health agencies when these conditions arise:

• Diabetes
• Dementia
• Parkinson’s Disease
• Alzheimer’s Disease
• Strokes
• Cancer
• COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
• Macular Degeneration

Professional Caretakers vs Nursing Homes, Assisted Living, Franchised Personal Assistant Service, or Independents

With Professional Caretakers, your loved one can avoid nursing homes and assisted living facilities, which are very expensive and often unnecessary.

In hiring an independent, you assume all the costs and hassles associated with becoming and “employer”. This includes: Federal and State payroll taxes (Medicare, FICA, and unemployment taxes – at least 10% of wages); paying worker’s compensation insurance; depositing payroll deductions; filing quarterly and annual State and Federal Payroll Tax Reports; complying with Federal Immigration hiring laws and other employment laws; plus recruiting, hiring, firing, and scheduling employees. Homeowners insurance won't cover private "employees"

Professional Caretakers Is a Great Value

When Professional Caretakers is your care partner, there are no hidden costs or extra charges. For instance, many of our competitors charge extra for weekends and nights, and for travel. Professional Caretakers doesn’t!

Case Study

A couple, married for 58 years, needed significant assistance. The husband developed Alzheimer’s disease, and had suffered a stroke. The wife had minor health issues, but could no longer care for her husband or maintain a household. They moved into an assisted living facility with a skilled care up-charge. Eventually, they had to split up when the husband was placed in an Alzheimer’s unit.

If they had chosen Professional Caretakers, they could have stayed together in the home they shared for many years, and have a personal caretaker to keep the house in order, prepare meals, assist with the daily activities, and provide skilled care under the supervision of a registered nurse.
