Trusted Home Health

Sunrise Home Health delivers expert, reliable care tailored to your needs. With skilled professionals and years of experience, we make health at home simple and dependable.

Our Story

Sunrise Home Health was founded in 1988 by M.A. Govender and his wife, Sarah—both compassionate nurses who were recruited to the United States from South Africa and given a one-way ticket to work at Dallas Presbyterian Hospital. Leaving their families behind, they built a new life from the ground up in pursuit of better opportunities for their two sons, Neville and Vernon. With unwavering dedication, humility, and a strong work ethic, M.A. and Sarah began operating the business out of their home, serving only a few patients. Gradually, Govender grew the business by acquiring a larger number of patients and adding services.

After both sons graduated from The University of Texas, they joined the family business in the early 2000s. Following M.A.’s passing, Neville, Vernon and Sarah carried forward his legacy, growing Sunrise into a leading family-owned provider of Home Health care in Dallas and Tarrant counties with 4 locations and caring for 1,500 patients annually
