Our History
Standards Home Health began in Cameron, Texas in 2004. Standards started with the philosophy of providing the highest quality care while keeping a family environment, and still operates under that philosophy today. Since beginning in 2004, Standards has added an additional 50 employees to operate 5 locations, providing healthcare services in 12 Central Texas counties.
As we have grown throughout the years our philosophy has remained the same; family first, both yours and ours. We would like to thank everyone who has supported us throughout the years, as well as recognize all the blessings that we have received.
