Serving Joshua and the Surrounding Johnson County Communities

What Home Care Services Does BrightStar Care of Burleson Offer?
We provide a full continuum of in-home care services, from non-medical personal care to advanced skilled nursing. Families in Joshua, TX can access the following services through a single, Joint Commission Accredited provider:
Personal Care and Activities of Daily Living
Our caregivers assist with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and mobility support. These physical activities of daily living are often the first area where a loved one needs help, and our CNAs and HHAs provide that support with dignity and respect.
Companion Care and Emotional Support
Isolation is a serious health risk for older adults. Our companion care services provide conversation, engagement, and meaningful daily connection. Whether it's sharing a meal, accompanying a client on errands, or simply being present, companionship matters as much as physical care.
24-Hour and Live-In Care
Some families need continuous support. Our 24-hour and live-in care options provide around-the-clock coverage for clients who cannot safely be left alone, who are recovering from surgery, or who require ongoing monitoring. Families in Rendon and Summer Creek have relied on our live-in care teams when hospital discharge planners at Huguley Medical Center recommended continued hands-on support at home rather than transfer to a facility.
Skilled Nursing Care at Home
Our Registered Nurses and Licensed Vocational Nurses provide clinical care in the home, including:
- Wound care and wound VAC management
- IV therapy and specialty infusions
- In-home lab draws and blood work
- Feeding tube management and care
- Medication management and administration
- Ostomy care
- Post-surgical nursing assessments
When patients are discharged from Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest or AdventHealth Burleson and need continued clinical care at home, our skilled nursing team steps in to bridge that gap and reduce the risk of hospital readmission.
Transitional and Hospital-to-Home Care
The transition from hospital to home is one of the highest-risk periods for older adults and post-surgical patients. Our transitional care program coordinates directly with discharge planners at area hospitals — including Huguley Medical Center, Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Hillcrest, and AdventHealth Burleson — to provide seamless in-home support from day one at home.
Respite Care for Family Caregivers
Family caregiving is exhausting. Respite care gives primary caregivers a break — a few hours, a full day, or a planned stretch of time — while a professional BrightStar Care caregiver takes over. This service is available on a scheduled or as-needed basis for families throughout Joshua and Johnson County.
Memory Care and Dementia Support
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia requires specialized training, patience, and structure. Our caregivers are trained in memory care techniques that reduce agitation, support routine, and keep clients safe at home longer.
Veteran Home Care
We are proud to serve the veterans who live in Joshua and throughout Johnson County. BrightStar Care of Burleson accepts VA Community Care, TRICARE, and CHAMPVA, and our staff understands the specific documentation and care coordination requirements for veteran home care benefits. We work with the VA to provide the skilled and non-medical home care our veterans have earned.
Conditions We Serve in Joshua, TX
Our care teams are experienced with a wide range of diagnoses and conditions, including:
- Alzheimer's disease and all-cause dementia
- Parkinson's disease
- Stroke and stroke recovery
- ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
- COPD and chronic respiratory conditions
- Congestive heart failure
- Diabetic wound care
- Cancer care and oncology support
- Post-joint replacement recovery (hip, knee, shoulder)
- Pediatric and private-duty nursing needs
Families recovering at home after procedures at Lake Granbury Medical Center have found our condition-specific care protocols especially helpful during the critical weeks immediately following discharge.
Why Families in Joshua, TX Choose BrightStar Care of Burleson
Joint Commission Accreditation
BrightStar Care is Joint Commission Accredited, reflecting our commitment to the highest standards in home health care. Very few home care agencies in Johnson County have earned this distinction. It means our policies, clinical protocols, and care delivery have been independently evaluated and certified — providing families with a level of assurance that is difficult to find elsewhere.
RN-Led Care Model
Our care is led by a Registered Nurse Director of Nursing who oversees all care plans and supervises every caregiver in the field. When your loved one's needs change — after a hospitalization, a fall, or a medication adjustment — our RN is involved in updating the plan of care to reflect those changes. This is not the standard for most home care agencies.
No Contracts Required
We do not require long-term contracts. Families can start, pause, or adjust care without penalties. This flexibility is important when care needs are uncertain or evolving — which they almost always are.
24/7 Availability With a Live Answer
When you call us at any hour, a real person answers. Care needs don't follow business hours, and neither do we. Our team is available around the clock to respond to urgent requests, adjust scheduling, or simply answer questions.
Long-Term Care Insurance Accepted
We accept long-term care insurance (LTC insurance), which can significantly offset the cost of home care services. Our staff assists families with the documentation requirements their LTC insurer needs to process claims — taking that administrative burden off families who are already managing a great deal.
Full-Spectrum Payer Acceptance
BrightStar Care of Burleson accepts a wide range of insurance and payer sources, including VA Community Care, TRICARE, CHAMPVA, many commercial health insurance plans, workers' compensation carriers, and private pay. We do not accept Medicare as a payer. Our intake team will walk you through your specific coverage when you call.
How Much Does Home Care Cost in Joshua, TX?
The cost of home care in Joshua, TX depends on the type of care needed, the number of hours per week, and whether skilled nursing is required. Non-medical personal care and companion care is billed at an hourly rate and is typically less expensive than skilled nursing. Live-in and 24-hour care is billed at a daily or weekly rate. Long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, and some commercial insurance plans can reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket costs for qualifying families. When you call BrightStar Care of Burleson, we will discuss your family's specific situation and help you understand your options — at no cost and with no obligation.
