Home Care Services After a Texas Health Discharge
BrightStar Care of West Fort Worth/Granbury provides a full spectrum of home health and personal care services to patients returning home after treatment at Texas Health Dallas, Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth, Texas Health Southwest Fort Worth, and other Texas Health locations. Our Registered Nurse Director of Nursing reviews every care plan and oversees all clinical services from day one.
Skilled Nursing at Home
Skilled nursing at home includes wound care and wound VAC management, IV therapy and specialty infusions, medication management, lab draws, ostomy care, and feeding tube management. These services are delivered by licensed nurses supervised by our RN Director of Nursing — the same clinical standard used inside a Texas Health facility, brought directly to your home in Fort Worth or Granbury.
Personal Care and Companion Services
Personal care aides assist with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. Companion care provides social engagement, transportation to follow-up appointments, and errand support. For patients discharged from Texas Health Southwest Fort Worth to neighborhoods like Benbrook or Western Hills, this continuity of care in familiar surroundings makes a measurable difference in recovery speed.
24-Hour and Live-In Care
Some patients returning home from Texas Health Dallas or Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth require around-the-clock supervision during the early recovery period. BrightStar Care provides 24-hour and live-in care staffed by CNAs, HHAs, and LVNs under RN oversight — no gaps in coverage, no contracts required.
Transitional Care Coordination
Our care team coordinates directly with discharge planners at Texas Health facilities, Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of City View at 6701 Oakmont Blvd in Fort Worth, and Texas Rehabilitation Hospital of Fort Worth at 425 Alabama Ave. We receive discharge summaries, confirm medication reconciliation, and begin skilled nursing visits within hours of a patient returning home — reducing the risk of preventable readmission.
Families whose loved ones complete inpatient rehab at Encompass Health or Texas Rehabilitation Hospital before returning home to Ridgmar or Camp Bowie can transition directly to BrightStar Care without a gap in professional clinical oversight.
