Family-owned Senior Care Provider Expands Access to Compassionate In-Home Support Across South Texas 

PEARLAND, Texas – (April 27, 2026) — Lynn Qualls has spent her entire working life caring for older adults, starting at age 16 as a nursing assistant and building a 30+ year career across private caregiving, care management, and senior housing. Now, she’s sharing that experience with South Texas in a new way, as the co-owner and care manager of A Place At Home – Pearland, the newest location in the A Place At Home franchise network focused on helping local seniors stay safe and supported at home.

Qualls will run the business alongside her son and daughter-in-law, Jared and Kristin, making the new location a truly family-run operation. Together, the team will serve Pearland and nearby South Houston communities, including Houston, League City, Webster, and Friendswood.

There is a growing demand for in-home care in Pearland and the surrounding areas as more families support aging loved ones at home. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, Texas is growing older faster than the rest of the nation, and the population of Texans age 65 and older grew 3.8 percent from 2023 to 2024. The state’s older adult population is expanding faster than any other age group, underscoring the need for reliable, high-quality home care support.

Qualls said her goal is to be a reliable local resource for families who want help but don’t always know where to start.

“Pearland is full of families who care deeply about their loved ones, and I’ve seen how overwhelming it can feel when a parent starts needing more support,” said Qualls. “Our job is to make that easier, to keep seniors living safely, independently and engaged at home, and to keep families informed every step of the way.”

A Place At Home Pearland will offer free in-home assessments and customized care plans, with services that include help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing and mobility support, as well as medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, respite care for family caregivers, transportation to appointments and errands, and companionship and cognitive engagement. The team is guided by A Place At Home’s “We Are CARE” values: Compassionate, Accountable, Respectful and Ethical.

“Lynn’s entire career has been centered on caring for seniors, and that experience shows up in how she leads,” said Dustin Distefano, COO of A Place At Home franchising. “She and her family are building something that Pearland families can count on with reliable care, clear communication, and a team that treats people with real respect.”

A Place At Home Pearland is located at 2880 Broadway Bend Dr Bldg #3, Pearland and can be reached 24 hours a day at (346) 598-5947.
