If this is a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.
Chest pain, severe difficulty breathing, stroke symptoms, major bleeding, or loss of consciousness require emergency medical services. This page describes non-emergency care delivered at home by skilled nurses.
Serving Galveston County, Texas
Emergency rooms are built for emergencies. But a huge portion of ER visits are for conditions that don't actually require emergency-level care — dehydration, wound infections, COPD flare-ups, UTI symptoms, post-surgical concerns, medication issues. Patients go to the ER because they don't know what else to do, or because they can't get in to see their doctor fast enough.
Home health is the alternative many people don't know exists. For non-life-threatening conditions that need skilled medical attention, our nurses can assess and treat you at home — often at a fraction of the cost of an ER visit, with no waiting room, no exposure to other illnesses, and follow-up built into the plan. The result is better care for situations that were never meant for the ER in the first place.
