HomePlace

Our Facility

The gorgeous, peaceful in-patient facility in Tyler is literally known throughout the country for its beauty and for the extraordinary care provided there.  Hospice of East Texas is the only hospice in our region to have a facility of this kind, staffed with round-the-clock nurses and doctors.

Although the primary focus of The Hospice of East Texas is home hospice care, there are times when caring for a loved one at home is simply not possible. When symptoms cannot be managed at home, or when families are having difficulty coping, The Hospice of East Texas offers a wonderful alternative – HomePlace.

Housed in the Robert M. Rogers Hospice Center, HomePlace is a state-of-the-art in-patient facility designed with patient care and family needs in mind. Twenty-eight private rooms offer hospice patients and their families all the comforts of home while providing round-the-clock, expert medical care.
