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 access these services through a single, Joint Commission Accredited provider. You do not need to coordinate with multiple agencies.
Personal Care and Activities of Daily Living
Our caregivers assist with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and mobility support. These are often the first areas where a loved one needs help. Our CNAs and HHAs provide that support with dignity and respect, working from a care plan developed by our RN Director of Nursing.
Companion Care and Emotional Support
Isolation is a serious health risk for older adults. Our companion care services provide meaningful connection — conversation, shared meals, help with errands, and consistent presence. Companionship matters as much as physical care, and families in Joshua and Joshua Farms rely on this service to keep loved ones engaged and emotionally well.
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 used our live-in care teams following hospital discharge recommendations from Huguley Medical Center — staying home rather than transferring to a facility.
Skilled Nursing Care at Home
Our Registered Nurses and Licensed Vocational Nurses deliver clinical care directly in your home. Skilled nursing care at home in the SW Fort Worth and Burleson area includes:
- 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 immediately — bridging the gap and reducing 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. Our transitional care program coordinates with discharge planners at Huguley Medical Center, Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Hillcrest, and AdventHealth Burleson. We provide seamless in-home support from day one so families in Joshua and Johnson County are never left to figure it out alone.
Families have also benefited from this coordination following procedures at Lake Granbury Medical Center, where our teams work closely with discharge staff to ensure continuity of care for patients returning to Joshua and surrounding areas.
Respite Care for Family Caregivers
Family caregiving is physically and emotionally demanding. Respite care gives primary caregivers a planned break — a few hours, a full day, or a longer stretch — while a professional BrightStar Care caregiver takes over. This service is available on a scheduled or as-needed basis 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 structured routine. Our caregivers are trained in memory care techniques that reduce agitation, support daily routine, and keep clients safe at home longer.

Veteran Home Care
We are proud to serve the veterans of Joshua and Johnson County. BrightStar Care of Burleson accepts VA Community Care, TRICARE, and CHAMPVA. Our staff understands the documentation and care coordination requirements for veteran home care benefits. We work directly with the VA so families can focus on care rather than paperwork.

When a loved one transitions out of Advanced Rehabilitation & Healthcare of Burleson or Burleson Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, our in-home skilled nursing team can continue therapy-support care and clinical monitoring at home.

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 hold this distinction. It means our clinical protocols, policies, and care delivery have been independently evaluated and certified — giving families a level of assurance that is difficult to find elsewhere in the Joshua area.
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. Care plans are developed by our RN and carried out by CNAs, HHAs, and LVNs — making the chain of clinical accountability explicit. When your loved one's needs change after a hospitalization, a fall, or a medication adjustment, our RN updates the plan of care immediately. This is not the standard at 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 in the weeks following hospital discharge or a new diagnosis.
24/7 Availability With a Live Answer
When you call us at any hour, a real person answers. Care needs do not follow business hours, and neither do we. Our team is available around the clock to respond to urgent requests, adjust scheduling, or simply answer your questions.
Long-Term Care Insurance Accepted
We accept long-term care insurance (LTC insurance), which can significantly offset the cost of home care. Our staff assists families with the documentation their LTC insurer requires to process claims — removing that administrative burden from families who are already managing a great deal.
Full-Spectrum Payer Acceptance
BrightStar Care of Burleson accepts a wide range of 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?
