About Desert Star Home Health

Desert Star Home Health has been serving El Paso families since 2012 as a Medicare-certified agency. They offer five core services—skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and home health aide care—which gives you flexibility to match services to your parent's needs. The agency currently has a 2-star rating. Unfortunately, we don't have patient satisfaction survey data (HHCAHPS) available, so we'd encourage you to ask them directly about recent patient outcomes when you call.

What to expect

When you contact them, ask specifically about their experience with conditions similar to your parent's. Since patient satisfaction data isn't publicly available, get details on how they handle communication, respond to emergencies, coordinate with doctors, and manage care adjustments. Clarify what Medicare covers versus out-of-pocket costs. Location matters too—they're at 2829 Montana Avenue, so confirm they service your parent's neighborhood.
