Primary care to older adults who are homebound
Baylor Scott & White HouseCalls program has been caring for the senior adults of North Texas for more than 20 years. Beginning in 1998, Baylor Scott & White HouseCalls has been proud to provide primary care to older adults who are homebound and unable to access healthcare through regular office visits with a physician.
Our goal is to bring quality care to the adult population in the comfort of their home, group home, assisted living facility or special care unit. We take a multi-disciplinary approach to home care treatment that may include physicians, nurse practitioners, social workers and chaplains. Our goal is to ensure that our patients maintain a quality of life and avoid visits to the emergency room or hospital.
The experienced staff of nurse practitioners, physicians assistants and physicians here specializes in geriatric and adult medicine, and they visit close to 1,000 patients who are enrolled in our program. Baylor Scott & White HouseCalls has enjoyed tremendous success in preventing emergency room visits and hospital admissions for our patients. Results show that our efforts have significantly improved the quality of care for our senior patients.
