End-of-life Care Services in Houston, Texas

Hospice is a way of caring that concentrates on dignity, comfort, and improved quality of life for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families. Hospice addresses the needs of the whole individual -physical, emotional, and spiritual, with in-home skilled medical care, pain and symptom management, and emotional support.

It is time for hospice when a patient’s focus has shifted from curative measures to making the most of life and spending quality time with family.

Anyone can refer a patient to hospice, even patients themselves. Eligibility for hospice services must be certified by the patient’s attending physician and/or by the hospice medical director. If you have any questions about hospice or how to begin hospice care, call us – 713-805-4080.

While hospice care is generally provided in-home, we deliver hospice services wherever our patients are – private homes, assisted living, and nursing homes.

Hospice care is very affordable. Medicare pays 100% of allowable charges related to the hospice diagnosis, including charges for medications, medical equipment, and medical supplies like diapers.
