Our services are available throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio areas in Texas.

STAR+PLUS is a Texas Medicaid program for adults age 65 and older or adults with disabilities who want health care and in-home support services so they can live at home instead of a nursing home.
It combines regular Medicaid health care (like doctor visits and prescriptions) with long-term care supports such as help with daily activities.

You can apply in several ways:
📌 Online: Use the Your Texas Benefits website.
📞 Phone: Call 2-1-1 (TTY 711), Monday–Friday, 8–6 CT.
📬 Mail: Request and mail a paper application.
🏢 In person: Visit a Texas HHS office or partner agency.
Once approved for Medicaid, you’ll choose a STAR+PLUS health plan that manages your care.

Yes — with some rules.
✔ STAR+PLUS allows you to choose certain family members or friends as your paid caregiver.
✖ However, spouses are generally not allowed to be paid caregivers under this program.
✔ The person you choose must meet requirements like passing a background check and participating in training/orientation.
This means your adult children, siblings, nieces/nephews, or other approved relatives can be paid caregivers in many cases.

If the program approves home supports (like personal care), you can get paid help for daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, eating, and moving around.
STAR+PLUS includes options like Consumer Directed Services (CDS) — meaning you have more control over who your caregiver is.

Home care built for Greater Houston

From the Heights to Sugar Land, Katy to Baytown, our caregivers work neighborhood by neighborhood across Harris County and the surrounding counties — Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, and Galveston. We schedule caregivers close to where they live, so Houston traffic doesn’t decide whether your mother gets her morning visit on time.

STAR+PLUS in the Houston service area. Medicaid members in Harris County receive long-term services through the STAR+PLUS managed-care plans operating in this region. Your plan’s service coordinator assesses what daily help is needed and authorizes personal assistance hours; Newport provides the caregiver, verifies every visit electronically (EVV), and works directly with the coordinator when needs change. If your loved one has Medicaid but no in-home hours yet, call us — we will help you request the assessment.

Care that plans for Houston weather. Our caregivers build summer heat checks into routine visits — hydration, working air conditioning, medication storage — and during hurricane season we confirm a storm plan with every family on the schedule: who picks up prescriptions, where the client will stay, and how visits resume after a watch or warning passes.
