Guardian Home Health Care, an Amedisys Company

Guardian Home Health Care, an Amedisys Company, provides skilled nursing, therapy and other services in Texarkana, Texas for patients recovering from illness, injury or surgery, as well as those living with chronic health conditions. The home health care team is available 24/7 for urgent needs and includes nurses, home health aides, social workers, physical therapists, speech therapists and occupational therapists who work collaboratively with patients, families and doctors to support recovery at home.

Nursing care services include pain management, monitoring, education and wound care to promote healing and reduce complications. Physical therapists help patients build strength, balance and endurance to reduce fall risk, while occupational therapists teach strategies for daily tasks and home modifications. Speech therapists address communication, speech and swallowing difficulties, and home health aides assist with personal care needs such as bathing, dressing and mobility.

Guardian offers specialized home health programs for patients with COPD, heart failure and conditions that increase fall risk. Medical social workers act as advocates, coordinate care with the broader healthcare team and provide counseling and referrals to local resources. The team develops individualized plans of care with the patient's doctor, and visit frequency is adjusted based on the patient's specific needs and progress.

The community serves patients across a multi-county region in northeast Texas, including Harrison County and surrounding areas. Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance plans typically cover home health care for eligible patients. Initial visits usually occur within 24 hours of hospital or nursing facility discharge to ease the transition to home-based care.
