Care that takes its time.
Nurses and therapists who come to your home across Denton County, sit down, and stay long enough to get it right. Medicare-certified since 2012.
A different pace
We built the schedule around the visit, not the other way around.
Most home health agencies schedule clinicians back to back, eight or nine stops a day. Elise Carrington spent years doing that, and she remembers every question she didn't have time to answer. When she opened Hickory Street, she set a limit: a full hour for the first visit, no more than twelve patients per nurse, and time on the calendar to call families back the same afternoon.
The result is quieter than people expect. Your nurse sits at the table, reads every bottle, listens to the whole story and writes the plan with you. It is how home health is supposed to feel.

Sample family reviews
In their words
The first nurse stayed for an hour and ten minutes. She read every bottle in my mother's cabinet. No one had ever done that.
I have vertigo and had stopped leaving the house. Nathan had me walking to the mailbox, then the corner, then church.
They never felt rushed. That alone made my father trust them.
Priya moved everything in my kitchen to my good side after the stroke. I cooked Thanksgiving dinner that year.
Joyce healed a wound on my foot that I was told might cost me two toes. I still have all ten.
Daniel helped us understand every option for Dad after home health ended. He was calm when we weren't.
The night nurse knew my wife's history when I called at 2 a.m. That is worth everything.
