A private-pay home care agency located in Wimberley has joined Blue Water Homecare, Inc., an agency serving families across Central Texas and the Hill Country.

The gist

Angels for Elders has served the city and Hays County for nearly 30 years. The business has joined Blue Water Homecare, and clients will begin receiving care under the Blue Water name on Oct. 25, according to a news release.

Families receiving care from Angels for Elders will see limited changes to their day-to-day service. Angels for Elders founders Ann Guilford and Kima Coltharp will assist clients and caregivers with the transition. 

“We built Angels for Elders on the idea that people should be cared for at home by someone who knows them,” said Guilford in the release. “Blue Water is nurse-led and local, and they understood right away that our caregivers are the heart of this.”

Caregivers will join Blue Water Homecare with the clients they currently serve. The agency’s local phone number will remain unchanged, and Blue Water Homecare Executive Director Denise Salinas will oversee care, according to the release.
