Standards Home Health Data Breach Exposes Sensitive Information of Nearly 7,000 Individuals
Shamis & Gentile P.A., a class action law firm specializing in data breach cases, is investigating a cybersecurity incident involving Standards Home Health, Inc., a Texas-based home health care provider. The breach, disclosed to the Texas Attorney General on January 5, 2026, and to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on December 31, 2025, compromised the personal and medical data of 6,847 individuals, including 1,140 Texas residents.
Standards Home Health, founded in 2004, serves Central Texas with in-home health services, including skilled nursing, therapy, and social work across locations in Temple, Cameron, and Austin. The company notified affected individuals through print media and U.S. Mail.
Exposed data includes:
- Names, addresses, and dates of birth
- Social Security numbers and driver’s license numbers
- Government-issued ID numbers (passport, state IDs)
- Financial information (account, credit/debit card numbers)
- Medical and health insurance details
The breach raises concerns over potential identity theft and financial fraud for those impacted. Legal investigations are underway to assess compensation eligibility for affected individuals.
