About Us

Providing Senior Assistance in the Pursuit for Freedom, Independence, and Security at Home

Our Story

In 2012, a local family and trusted friends with years of combined healthcare experience got together and agreed that there was a need for exceptional senior care in Portland, TX and surrounding areas. From there, Anthem Home Care was created! With veterans among our founders, patriotism is paramount in our culture and philosophy. It is threaded through everything we do to foster freedom and independence for the seniors we’re privileged to serve.
