What to expect
Once your parent's doctor orders home health care, expect an intake call within 1–2 business days. A nurse will visit to assess your parent and discuss medical history, medications, and goals. If skilled nursing is ordered, a nurse will typically visit 2–3 times weekly; therapy visits and aide services follow a schedule set by the doctor. Visits usually last 30–90 minutes. You should receive a care plan in writing and be invited to ask questions. The agency will coordinate with your parent's doctor on progress.

Frequently asked questions
What does this agency specialize in?
Decency Home Health offers skilled nursing (medical care by a nurse), physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical social services (counseling and support), and home health aides (personal assistance with daily activities). Your parent's doctor will prescribe which services are medically necessary.
Can I use Medicare with the agency?
Yes. Medicare certification means Decency Home Health has met federal requirements and is eligible to care for Medicare patients. You should verify that your parent's specific services and diagnosis will be covered before starting care.
How do I get started?
You'll need a doctor's order for home health care. The agency will schedule an initial assessment, typically within a few days, to determine your parent's needs and create a care plan.
How long has this agency been serving patients?
Decency Home Health Care Services Inc was founded in 2006, giving it nearly 20 years of operating experience in the Houston area.
What should I know about choosing a home health agency?
Ask about staff turnover (you want consistency), how they handle after-hours emergencies, whether the same staff will visit regularly, and how they coordinate with your parent's doctors. Request to meet the nurse or aide assigned before care starts if possible.
Local context
Houston has a large home health market with 257 agencies. The average agency rating across Houston is 2.7 stars, which suggests quality varies significantly. When choosing an agency, ask specifically about their performance on outcomes your parent needs most—for example, if your parent had a stroke, ask how many stroke patients they serve and how many regain mobility. Location matters too: Decency is located on Southwest Freeway, so confirm their service area reaches your parent's home.
