About Evening Star Healthcare Inc
Evening Star Healthcare Inc is a Medicare-certified home health agency serving Richmond. The company was established in 2006 and is privately owned. They offer five core services: skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and medical social services.
What to expect
When your parent starts with Evening Star, the process begins with an initial assessment, where a nurse or clinician evaluates your parent's medical needs, living situation, and safety. Based on this, a care plan is created with scheduled visits from the appropriate professionals—whether that's nurses, therapists, or social workers. Visits are usually scheduled in advance, though you should confirm the day and time window with the agency. Between visits, you can typically contact Evening Star with questions. As your parent improves, services may decrease or be discontinued. If your parent's needs change, let their care coordinator know so the plan can be adjusted.

Frequently asked questions
How can I arrange care through home health care?
Your parent's doctor typically initiates a referral to a home health agency. Medicare will cover medically necessary home health services if your parent is homebound and a doctor orders the care. You can also contact Evening Star directly at (281) 344-1411 to ask about their intake process.
What does a home health visit typically include?
This depends on the service ordered. A skilled nursing visit might include wound care, medication management, or health monitoring. Physical or occupational therapy focuses on rehabilitation and mobility. An initial assessment usually takes longer than follow-up visits.
Will Medicare cover the costs?
Medicare Part A covers home health services ordered by a doctor when your parent is homebound. You may have a copay for some therapy services after using your benefit days, but the initial assessment is covered.
Can I ask about a caregiver's experience?
Yes. Ask Evening Star about their hiring standards, training requirements, and whether you can request a specific caregiver for consistency. You can also ask about their on-call support if issues arise outside regular visit times.
