Home Care Referred by Texas Health Physicians Group – Central Fort Worth Clinic
Texas Health Physicians Group's Central Fort Worth Clinic sends patients home with a care plan — but that plan only succeeds when the right home care team is already in place on day one. Patients discharged from Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth or seen at the Central Fort Worth Clinic regularly face a gap between leaving the physician's office and receiving the skilled support they need at home. BrightStar Care of West Fort Worth/Granbury closes that gap. We work directly with physician referrals from Texas Health Physicians Group and have the clinical infrastructure — Registered Nurse oversight, skilled nursing, and personal care — to support what your doctor ordered.
What Texas Health Physicians Group – Central Fort Worth Clinic Patients Need at Home
Texas Health Physicians Group is one of the largest physician-led medical groups in North Texas. Their Central Fort Worth Clinic serves patients across Ridglea, Westover Hills, Camp Bowie, and the surrounding Tarrant County communities. When a physician at this clinic refers a patient for home care, the referral typically covers one or more of the following needs:
- Post-surgical wound care and dressing changes
- Medication management and administration
- Skilled nursing assessments after a hospital or clinic visit
- Personal care — bathing, grooming, and mobility assistance
- Chronic disease monitoring for conditions like COPD, CHF, and diabetes
- Transitional care coordination between Texas Health Harris Methodist and home
Our Registered Nurse Director of Nursing reviews every care plan before services begin. This RN-led model means the physician's orders are followed precisely — not interpreted by a non-clinical scheduler. CNAs, HHAs, and LVNs carry out daily care under direct RN supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Texas Health Physicians Group?
Texas Health Physicians Group is a physician-led multispecialty medical group affiliated with Texas Health Resources. It includes primary care physicians, specialists, and advanced practice providers at clinics across the Dallas–Fort Worth area, including the Central Fort Worth Clinic. Physicians in this group regularly refer patients who need skilled nursing or personal care at home following a medical visit, diagnosis, or hospital stay.
Does Medicare pay for home health care in Texas?
Medicare Part A and Part B may cover skilled home health services when a physician certifies that the patient is homebound and requires skilled nursing, physical therapy, speech therapy, or occupational therapy. The services must be medically necessary and provided by a Medicare-certified agency. BrightStar Care does not currently accept Medicare, but many of our patients use private pay, long-term care insurance, or commercial insurance to cover services. We encourage families to contact us to discuss their specific situation.
What qualifies a patient for home care?
Patients qualify for home care when they need medical or personal assistance that cannot be managed independently at home. Qualifying situations include recovery from surgery or hospitalization, a new or worsening chronic condition, mobility limitations, cognitive decline requiring supervision, or a physician's recommendation for skilled nursing at home. A physician referral — such as one from Texas Health Physicians Group – Central Fort Worth Clinic — is often the starting point. Our RN will conduct a free in-home assessment to confirm the appropriate level of care.
Who qualifies for home health care in Texas?
In Texas, individuals who are recovering from an illness, injury, or surgery and need medically necessary skilled care at home may qualify for home health services. Eligibility for insurance-covered services depends on the specific plan, the patient's condition, and whether a licensed physician has ordered the care. Private-pay home care is available to anyone who needs assistance at home, without a physician referral requirement. Contact our team to discuss your specific situation and payer coverage.
