Personal Care Services for Medicaid-eligible children
Texas Medicaid programs may provide personal care services for eligible children under age 21 who need assistance with activities of daily living. Families should use the current state or health-plan process to request an assessment and determine eligibility. Our office can explain how Primetime participates once services are authorized.
Care built around dignity
Personal care is intimate. Our goal is to provide dependable assistance while respecting preferences, routines and privacy. We work to match clients with caregivers who can support the approved needs of the household professionally and consistently.
