Welcome to The Hospice of East Texas

Whether provided in the home, hospital, long-term care facility or anywhere else, hospice is a compassionate way of caring for those with a life-limiting illness. Hospice of East Texas has been providing this loving care to patients and their families throughout the communities of East Texas since 1982. 

Coping with terminal illness presents many challenges – physical, emotional, social and spiritual.  The caring, experienced team of professionals at The Hospice of East Texas is prepared to meet those challenges, and believes that no one, regardless of age, illness or financial circumstances, should have to face death alone or in pain.

Visitation Guidelines

Hospice of East Texas continues to closely monitor the COVID pandemic and the regulations set through state, local, and national authorities. Until further notice, the following visitation rules will be implemented:

HomeCare Visit Policy:

Families (and patients as appropriate) are requested to wear a mask/face covering while HOET staff is in their homes; this is a cautionary measure for the protection of all.
