Get well at home, with the grandkids underfoot.
Nursing and therapy at your house in Brownwood, Early, Coleman, Goldthwaite and Comanche, so recovery happens where the people you love already are. Medicare-certified since 2009.
Hi, we're Kinfolk
Healing goes better with family around.
Shelby Tran-McCoy noticed it on her first home health route: patients who recovered surrounded by their people did better. They ate more, walked more, laughed more and went back to the hospital less. So when she started Kinfolk in 2009, she made family part of the plan.
We teach the grandson how to help Grandpa stand up safely. We schedule therapy around the Friday football game. We turn exercises into card games and kitchen chores. It's skilled, serious care, delivered in a way that fits real family life in Brown County.

Sample family reviews
Happy families
Marcus turned Dad's balance exercises into a dominoes tournament with the grandkids. Dad won, and he's walking without the walker.
They taught my teenage son how to help me in and out of the shower safely. He was proud. So was I.
Tasha healed my husband's foot wound and made him laugh every single visit.
The family huddle got all four of us kids on the same page for the first time in years.
Yesenia explained everything to my grandmother in Spanish, then to me in English. Patient as could be.
I was back to fishing at the lake six weeks after my hip. Brought the therapist a catfish.
The night nurse knew exactly who I was when I called at midnight. That's peace of mind you can't buy.
Jim had the first visit set up while I was still in the hospital parking lot.
Every person who came to our house treated Mama like their own grandmother.
Recovery happens at the kitchen table, on the porch steps and in the middle of the family, so that is exactly where we bring the care.
