About Navigate Care
We Started This Because We've Been in Your Shoes.
Navigate Care was founded by people who understand what it feels like to worry about a parent living alone. That experience shapes everything we do — from how we hire caregivers to how we answer the phone.
Our mission
Keep Your Parent Home. Keep Your Family Together.
Most families don't want to move a parent into a facility. They want their loved one to stay in the home they know — surrounded by their things, their routines, and their dignity intact.
Navigate Care exists to make that possible. We provide private duty, non-medical in-home care that bridges the gap between independence and safety — so your parent can stay home, and you can stop worrying.
We serve families across Temple, Belton, Salado, Harker Heights, Killeen, Copperas Cove, and Lampasas, TX — and we treat every client like a neighbor, because they are.
What we stand for
The Values Behind Every Visit
Dignity First
Every person in our care is treated with the same respect we'd want for our own parents. Dignity isn't a policy — it's a standard we hold ourselves to on every single visit.
Earned Trust
We don't ask families to trust us on day one. We earn it — through thorough caregiver screening, consistent communication, and showing up when we say we will.
Genuinely Local
We're not a franchise or a national chain. We're a Central Texas agency that knows these communities, these roads, and these families. When you call, you reach us — not a call center.
No Surprises
Private pay means you're always in control. No insurance pre-authorizations, no hidden fees, no coverage denials. You know exactly what you're getting and what it costs.
Our standards
How We Hire — and Why It Matters
The caregiver who walks into your parent's home represents Navigate Care completely. That's why our hiring process is thorough, deliberate, and non-negotiable.
Background Checked
Every caregiver undergoes a comprehensive criminal background check before their first shift. No exceptions.
Trained & Oriented
New caregivers complete orientation covering care standards, safety protocols, client communication, and Navigate Care's expectations before they ever enter a client's home.
Insured & Bonded
Navigate Care carries liability insurance and bonding so families have full peace of mind when our caregivers are in their home.
Supervised & Supported
Our caregivers aren't left to figure things out alone. We provide ongoing supervision, check-ins, and support so quality stays consistent — visit after visit.
Getting started
From First Call to First Visit — Here's How It Works
Call or Submit a Request
Reach out by phone at 254-654-0100 or fill out our online form. We respond the same business day — no waiting, no runaround.
We Learn About Your Parent
We'll have a conversation about your parent's needs, schedule, and personality. This helps us match them with the right caregiver — not just any available caregiver.
We Build a Care Plan
Together, we create a care plan that fits your parent's daily life. We're flexible — hours, frequency, and services can all be adjusted as needs change.
Care Begins
Your parent meets their caregiver and care begins. We follow up to make sure everything is going well and adjust if anything needs to change.
