KidsCare Home Health

What KidsCare Home Health does

KidsCare Home Health is a private, for-profit pediatric home health agency founded in 2003 by speech therapist Cortney Baker in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. The company delivers in-home Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology, Private Duty Nursing (24/7), and case management to children up to 18 years old with developmental disabilities and special needs, primarily in Texas, Colorado, Virginia, Florida, South Carolina, Maryland, Oregon, and Washington D.C., with stated intent to continue nationwide expansion.

The business operates a services-led model with no proprietary software products; its technology stack is composed of third-party tools including Kantime Health for the patient portal and clinical documentation, ICIMS for applicant tracking, Zoho Forms for medical records workflows, and Patient Notebook for patient billing. Tablets are issued to clinicians for in-home documentation. The KidsCare On Air podcast serves as a community and thought-leadership channel for families and pediatric home health professionals.

Revenue is generated on a recurring, fee-for-service basis through third-party payer reimbursements (predominantly Medicaid, plus commercial insurance) and self-pay, with patient acquisition driven by healthcare provider referrals, word-of-mouth, and direct inquiries. The company has 501-1,000 employees, has been recognized as a Top Workplace by the Houston Chronicle, Denver Post, and Dallas Morning News, and in 2023 merged with Therapy 2000 to form a national pediatric home health platform.
