What we provide
Six services, one unbroken circle of care.
Hospice is rarely a single event — it is a sequence of needs that shift week to week. Below are the services billed under our hospice benefit, with the indicative out-of-pocket cost most families actually pay after Medicare Part A applies.
Routine Hospice at Home
Physician oversight, skilled nursing visits, personal-care aides, medical equipment, and comfort medications — delivered where your loved one already lives. The Medicare Hospice Benefit covers this in full for eligible patients.
RN visits 2–3× weeklyOn-call 24/7
Continuous Care at Crisis
When pain or breathing symptoms spike, a nurse stays at the bedside in shifts of 8 to 24 hours until the crisis passes — keeping your loved one out of the emergency room and at home, where they belong.
Min. 8-hour shiftsSame-day start
General Inpatient Care
For symptoms too complex to manage at home, we arrange transfer to one of our contracted Galveston County inpatient units — close enough for daily family visits, with our team continuing to direct care.

Respite for Caregivers
Family caregivers need rest, too. Up to five consecutive days of inpatient care for your loved one, covered under the hospice benefit, so you can sleep, attend a wedding, or simply breathe.
5-day maximumRenewable as needed
Bereavement & Grief Support
Thirteen months of follow-up for the family after a loss — phone check-ins, support circles in Texas City, and one-on-one counseling with a licensed social worker. Available to the whole household, not only the named caregiver.

Volunteer & Companionship
Trained hospice volunteers visit for conversation, music, letter-writing, or simply to sit quietly while a caregiver takes a walk. Our volunteers are background-checked, supervised, and matched to your family's comfort.
