Respite Care

Every family’s situation is different — and the right service often becomes clear after a simple conversation. We offer a free, no-obligation in-home assessment where we visit your loved one, understand their daily routine and needs, and recommend the right level of support — whether that’s a few hours of personal care a week, full-time live-in care, or something in between. Many families also combine services (for example, daily personal care plus weekly respite) and we’ll help you build a plan that fits.

Yes — every caregiver on our team goes through a thorough screening process that includes background checks, drug testing, reference verification, and in-person interviews. Once hired, our caregivers receive hands-on training in personal care, safety, infection control, dementia support, and client dignity. Lonestar Home Healthcare is also fully licensed and regulated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), ensuring we meet strict state standards for quality and compliance.

Lonestar proudly serves families across Dallas, Fort Worth, and surrounding counties throughout the DFW Metroplex. In most cases, we can complete a free in-home assessment within 24–48 hours of your initial call and begin care shortly after. For urgent situations — like a hospital discharge or a sudden change in your loved one’s condition — we’ll work hard to arrange same-day or next-day support whenever possible.

Home care pricing depends on the level of support, number of hours per week, and services needed. Lonestar accepts Medicaid, private insurance, and private pay — giving families flexible options to fit their situation. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to review your coverage and build a care plan that fits your budget.

The right match is everything in home care, and we take that seriously. If a caregiver isn’t the right fit — for any reason — just let us know, and we’ll match your loved one with someone new. No awkward conversations, no pressure, no questions asked. We’d rather take the time to get the match right than leave your family with a caregiver who doesn’t feel like the right person for the job.

Absolutely — and many Lonestar families do exactly that. Care needs rarely stay the same for long, so we build flexibility into every care plan from the start. You might begin with a few hours a week for companionship or personal care, then gradually add more coverage as needs grow — eventually moving into daily visits, overnight care, or full 24-hour support. Because we keep the same trusted caregiver team, the transition feels seamless rather than disruptive.

Whenever possible, yes. Consistency matters deeply — especially for seniors who thrive on familiar routines and faces. We match each client with a primary caregiver based on personality, skills, and schedule compatibility, and we maintain a small backup team trained on your loved one’s care plan so there’s never a gap in care. For clients needing 24-hour or live-in support, we build a small, consistent team so your loved one always sees familiar faces.
