Our story

Founded in 1982 by Tere and Frank Painter

APC Home Health Service, Inc. began as a small in-home health service agency in Harlingen, Texas, providing much-needed home health care services to underserved clients.

Since then, APC has grown into a comprehensive health care system with four divisions, offices in 12 Texas cities, more than 3,500 caregivers and more than 90 office staff.

How we work

Our core values

  1. We DO What's RIGHT

    In home care, doing what is right means making safety, dignity and honesty the starting point.

  2. We HELP First

    People need clear help, so we begin with what they need first.

  3. Growth is LIFE

    We keep learning because better care depends on people who are willing to grow.

  4. We don't QUIT

    Home care can be hard work; we stay present and see our commitments through.

  5. We LEAD with Humility

    We listen, learn and put the people we serve ahead of ego.
