Hospice at home

Sometimes the answer you seek is right at home

At The Hospice of East Texas, we understand that hospice care in the comfort of familiar surroundings can be immensely beneficial for patients facing a life-limiting illness. Through home hospice caregivers, our home hospice service ensures that patients receive top-quality medical care wherever they call home.

Serving various types of living situations:

  • the patient’s home
  • a long-term care facility
  • an assisted living facility
  • a memory care facility

The Hospice of East Texas provides hospice related care to more patients in-home than to patients in our own facilities.  By delivering comprehensive hospice services directly to the patient’s location, we enable them to remain in a place of comfort and familiarity while receiving the necessary care.
