Provider Care
Help with everyday tasks, so your loved ones can stay safe and comfortable at home.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES (PAS)
Home Care for daily living
Provider Care is a non-skilled Medicaid benefit, also known as Personal Assistance Services (PAS), that helps clients with everyday tasks at home.
We provide this service under the Texas Health and Human Services Community Attendant Services (CAS) program and through contracts with various HMOs.
ELIGIBILITY
Who qualifies for care?
Eligibility for long-term care depends on medical necessity, income and being homebound. Services are usually paid by Medicaid or a qualifying HMO.
Not sure if you qualify? Our staff will help you find out.
ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING (ADL'S)
The everyday tasks we help with
Texas Health and Human Services uses a needs assessment to determin much help a person needs with each of these activities. A nurse reviews them with you, and your care plan is built around the results.
