For Patients
- Our In-home visit offers quality healthcare for patients who are unable to visit the doctor’s office—in the comfort and familiarity of their home or facility. There is no hassle with driving, parking, or waiting in a physician’s office.
- Enjoy a visit where the physician takes as much time as needed and takes an active role in your day-to-day health and well-being.
- Our providers will also evaluate your home environment and assess lifestyle issues such as fall hazards and medication management.

For Assisted Living Facilities

Reduce costs

For Primary Care Physicians
- We act as an extension of your practice by providing advanced quality care for patients who are unable to visit the doctor’s office, in the comfort and privacy of their home or facility.
- In-home service for patients with limited mobility helps provide reassurance and reduce hospital admissions.
- Home visits help integrate and coordinate the steps in a patient’s transition from the hospital, their recovery from an illness, or in the phase between being homebound and recovering mobility—until they are able to return to the office.
- In-home advanced care may be indicated if your patient:
- Is home-limited/homebound
- Has limited resources, support, and/or transportation
- Has co-morbidities or need for chronic disease management
-
For Employers
- Give your employees the option of high-quality, “concierge”-like medical services.
- RGV House Calls will work with you to develop a plan for providing comprehensive on-site medical care. Employees who use the services will not have to take time to travel to the doctor and sit forever in a waiting area. It will also reduce the need to squander PTO time to get laboratory or imaging services that we can provide on-site.
- The employer model improves access to medical care and makes for better adherence to appointments. The result is a proactive, patient-centered form of care, instead of a reactive, crisis-oriented approach—one that improves the quality of care while also reducing costs for you, the employer, and for the healthcare system.
- Our on-site care program enables companies to have a real impact on the health of their employees. Unlike the traditional wellness fair or visiting nurse programs, our on-site providers can both identify and treat health care issues. This means better outcomes and fewer workplace disruptions.
