TexasLookup

A directory of Texas directories

Find the right Texas lookup site, then find the right provider.

TexasLookup points you to free, plain-language directories built from Texas and federal public records: home care, hospice, nursing homes, group homes, and more. Each one is its own site, focused on one kind of search, so you are not wading through ads or a hundred unrelated categories.

How these directories work

Texas publishes a great deal of useful information about licensed care providers, but it is spread across agency websites, spreadsheets, and federal files that were made for regulators, not for families. A daughter trying to find a hospice for her father, or a parent looking for a group home for an adult son, usually does not know which agency licenses what, or where the list lives. Each TexasLookup directory takes one of those public lists, cleans it up, and puts it in a form you can search by city, county, ZIP code, or name.

Every directory says where its data comes from and when it was last updated. Most start with a Texas Health and Human Services Commission license roster, and many add federal Medicare information such as star ratings, inspection results, or family survey scores when a provider has a Medicare number on file. Where a list has known gaps, the directory says so, and it tells you who to call to fill them.

What you will and will not find here

You will find licensed providers, the facts the state and Medicare publish about them, and plain explanations of how a type of care works in Texas: who pays for it, how to qualify, what questions to ask, and how to check a license yourself. You will not find paid rankings, sponsored "top ten" lists, or lead forms that sell your phone number. Being listed in a directory is not an endorsement, and no provider pays to appear.

These sites are not medical or legal advice. If someone is in danger or needs urgent care, call 911. To report suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a person in a licensed facility or agency, the Texas Health and Human Services complaint line is 1-800-458-9858. For people living at home, the Texas Abuse Hotline is 1-800-252-5400.

Picking the right directory

If someone needs skilled nursing or therapy at home after a hospital stay, start with home care. If the goal is comfort and support during a serious illness, look at palliative care, and if a doctor has said life expectancy is about six months or less, hospice is usually the next step. When living at home is no longer safe, the nursing home directory shows licensed facilities with their inspection history. For adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities, the group home directory explains Texas's licensed homes and how to start with your local authority.
