The overview: Butterfly Home Care in Northwest DFW provides individualized, non-medical care for children and adults with complex disabilities, including autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), as well as seniors needing support. Built on trust and compassion, the agency empowers clients to remain safe, supported and independent at home.
How did Butterfly Home Care get started?
Founded over 10 years ago by Becky Wang, who was inspired by her journey raising a child with autism, Butterfly Home Care was built on the belief that families deserve compassionate, personalized care.
Unlike traditional agencies that focus strictly on senior care, Butterfly Home Care supports individuals of all ages living with complex needs. In May, co-owners Swarnali and Jerome Lewis brought the franchise to Northwest DFW to support local families.
Opening this agency was a purposeful move rooted in both personal dedication and professional vision. As established DFW residents holding MBAs, the owners leverage over twenty years of collective expertise in senior support, disability services and executive leadership to enhance care standards throughout the local community.
Jerome Lewis holds a Kinesiology degree from the University of North Texas and an MBA from the University of Dallas, blending human performance knowledge with strategic management. Swarnali Lewis, a Kansas State University alumna with an MBA from the University of Texas at Dallas, provides the agency with a deep operational and analytical focus.
The two wanted to leverage their backgrounds to elevate standards and make a meaningful mark on their community.
"Our passion is what drew us back to this industry," Jerome Lewis said. "We both saw that there is a need for stand-up, good people in the world. ... This is a place where we can make our mark."
How does Butterfly Home Care personalize care for each family?
Care begins with an in-home safety and lifestyle assessment, where families work directly with the team to build a customized care plan. The plan is re-evaluated every six months to track progress and adapt as clients grow or as their needs evolve.
Services extend far beyond basic daily living tasks. Caregivers act as companions and community guides who accompany clients on errands, to the grocery store or to social events.
For younger clients and individuals with disabilities, care centers on building long-term life skills, reaching functional milestones and fostering greater independence. For seniors, the emphasis shifts toward maximizing daily comfort, maintaining dignity and enhancing quality of life at home.
"We really want to get to the bottom of what each person needs instead of taking a cookie-cutter approach," Swarnali Lewis said.
What specialized training do Butterfly caregivers receive?
Before taking on their first client, every caregiver completes at least 20 hours of training to be a certified Butterfly Caregiver, which is reinforced with annual state-mandated education and agency in-service hours.
Because disability support requires a unique skill set, caregivers receive specialized instruction incorporating Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) concepts. This allows them to serve as an extension of therapy and school programs by reinforcing skill-building techniques at home.
As the North Texas office grows, the leadership team plans to bring individuals with disabilities directly into training sessions, so caregivers can gain firsthand perspectives on person-centered care.
Additionally, Jerome Lewis serves as a certified Dementia Live coach. He leads immersive simulation experiences for caregivers, families and local care facilities to build practical caregiving skills and deeper empathy.
What sets Butterfly Home Care apart from other agencies?
Butterfly Home Care operates on a twofold vision: to become the most trusted care provider for local families and the employer of choice for dedicated caregivers. To achieve this, the agency uses a careful matching process that pairs caregivers with clients based on personality, availability and specific care needs to foster long-term consistency.
To protect vulnerable clients, the agency enforces strict background checks and drug screenings. Furthermore, as a non-medical home care provider, Butterfly Home Care bridges the gap after formal home health or physical therapy services end, helping clients safely maintain their routines, exercises and independence over time.

How does Butterfly Home Care evaluate caregivers? Butterfly Home Care runs background checks and drug tests on all caregivers, and they accept only the very best individuals who truly care.
Does Butterfly Home Care provide medical or non-medical care? Butterfly Home Care provides non‑medical support. This means their services focus on daily living assistance and personal support, rather than clinical or medical procedures that require a licensed nurse’s oversight.
What is the difference between home care and home health? Home health encompasses in-home wound care, hospice, physical therapy, occupational therapy and more. All of these tasks require a medical practitioner, such as a doctor’s or nurse’s, oversight. While home care requires licensing and state mandated surveys, it does not require a medical practitioner’s oversight and therefore, can be more economically feasible for many families.
