Hospice is for patients who have a terminal illness with a life expectancy of one year or less as certified by their physician and are referred by a friend, family member, social service agency, clergy or by their own choice. Our service area is for residents living in the “Golden Triangle” region of southeast Texas.

Hospice provides services to patients and families who desire hospice care in their home and who have enough support to be safely maintained in their residence. Hospice also provides care to dying individuals in nursing homes and assisted living centers.

Hospice care is available to any terminally ill individual regardless of race, color, sex, age, national origin, disability, or ability to pay.

How we do it

Hospice care is provided at substantially less cost to terminally ill individuals than other services provided by hospitals and home health agencies. Hospice care is covered under most insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid, and by most insurance carriers.

Sometimes, because of financial difficulties such as joblessness, lack of insurance, high medicine costs, and a host of other reasons, a family finds the cost of a terminal illness overwhelming. Hospice provides services for all patients, regardless of their ability to pay through assistance provided by private donations and memorials.

We encourage individuals wishing to make a financial contribution to help families with financial needs to receive Hospice care to contact our office for information on how they can make a donation to our Hospice Foundation.
