serving those who SERVED our country
Retired service men and women deserve dignified, comforting care as they age. At ameriCARE Texas, we make it our goal not only to provide these services but to help veterans understand the benefits they are entitled to which help cover the cost of these services. We recognize it’s difficult for those who have served to put their safety and security in another person’s hands, but we make it our mission to do everything in our power to make their lives better through non-medical in-home care.

we can help you navigate VETERAN BENEFITS
Did you know that the US Department of Veteran Affairs, also known as the VA, offers a wide range of healthcare benefits to active and veteran service members? These benefits include coverage for non-medical in-home care and respite care to help family caregivers!
At ameriCARE Texas, we’ve made it our mission to truly understand the ins and outs of the VA benefits systems. We’ve helped several of our local veterans through the benefits process in order to get the referrals and approval they need to cover their in-home care costs. We are happy to help you get started!

The Permian Basin Honor Flight Takes Off with ameirCARE Texas Executive Chairman, Dr. Rohith Saravanan
“It was a beautiful experience, with a lot of incredible storytelling and creating a lot of personal connections.”
This year, our Executive Chairman, Dr. Rohith Saravanan had the unique pleasure of joining the Permian Basin Honor Flight as an attending physician. To ensure the best care and safest trip possible, Dr. Saravanan conducted pre-flight health checks to clear each participant for the trip. He also worked with the Honor Flight staff to evaluate each stop to find the safest routes and to limit fall hazards. As the attending physician during the trip, Dr. Saravanan and three volunteer nurses provided medical support and personalized attention throughout the flight. The care team also carried complete medical files on each patient in the event of an emergency.
We are so grateful ameriCARE Texas could participate in such an amazing journey and we are eternally grateful to all the service men and women who have dedicated their lives to the safety and security of our nation!
CARING for our community’s veterans
At ameriCARE Texas, we have worked hard to understand the needs of our veterans. We respect and appreciate their willingness to serve our country and seek to provide the best care possible. Whether returning from combat with new health or mobility challenges, or reaching old age and needing additional help, our team is here to provide dignified, respectful care.
Together, we can help our veterans stay happier@home while leading independent, meaningful lives.
Hygiene Assistance
Bathing, toileting, dressing, teeth brushing, and other personal hygiene tasks can be difficult to manage with limited ability due to aging or disability. Our compassionate caregivers are trained to provide these services with respect and dignity.
Meal Preparation
Our caregivers can help prepare meals, shop for groceries, monitor dietary restrictions, and provide assistance in promoting a healthy lifestyle. Sometimes, having a home-cooked meal without having to fix it themselves is just what the client needed.
Light Housekeeping
Caring for a household can feel overwhelming to those managing disability or illness. Our trained caregivers can help with daily tasks like laundry, dishes, vacuuming, and more so our clients can focus on healing.
Exercise & Recreation
Physical activity is a great way to connect with others, enjoy the outdoors, and improve mental health. Whether it’s a walk up and down the driveway or assistance with physical therapy exercises, our caregivers can help your loved one stay active in their day-to-day lives.
Running Errands
If you are unable to drive or walk due to disability, injury, or age, our caregivers can assist with tasks like grocery shopping, medication pick-up, maintaining personal appointments, and more.
Medical Appointment Support
Our caregivers often accompany our clients to their medical appointments to help them navigate any information or instructions provided by their doctor.
Companionship
Our caregivers approach engagement through gentle and positive encouragement. We facilitate meaningful activities to help our clients socialize, let off steam, and recover successfully.
Injury Prevention
Our caregivers are proactive in preventing harmful falls or other injuries by maintaining a clean environment, removing tripping hazards, helping our clients with mobility, and keeping the environment as safe as possible.
Medication Reminders
Managing age, disability, or injury often means dealing with complex medication schedules and dosages. Our caregivers make sure our clients take the appropriate amount of medication right when they need it.
Pet or Service Animal Care
If limitations from disability or old age inhibit our veteran clients from helping their pets or service animals, we can step in! We’ll help with dog walking, feeding schedules, transportation and assistance with vet appointments, and pet hygiene to keep both owner and pet happy and healthy.
respite care for family CAREGIVERS
At ameriCARE Texas, we understand that family caregivers play a crucial role in the support systems of our veterans and we want to support you, too. In fact, we have close ties to our service men and women! Local owner of ameriCARE Texas – Weatherford, Robert Ybarra, served in the armed forces, along with his father. We recognize and respect the unique needs of our veterans and believe in providing dignified, thoughtful care to enhance their daily lives.
As a family caregiver, your health and wellbeing manner, and we want to help you balance your care responsibilities so you can rest and recharge. Our caregivers are trained to provide the same level of detailed care your loved one has come to expect. Let’s take care of them together.
