North Star Hospice LLC is a Galveston-based hospice provider offering skilled nursing, pain management, and family bereavement support — delivered in the place your loved one calls home.
For over a decade, North Star Hospice LLC has cared for families across Galveston and the Texas Gulf Coast. We believe the final chapter of a person's life deserves the same attention as the first — quiet, unhurried, and surrounded by the people and places they love.
Our interdisciplinary team brings together registered nurses, certified hospice aides, social workers, chaplains, and bereavement counselors — coordinated around your loved one's wishes, not a facility's routine. Whether care happens in a beachside home on the West End, a residence on the Island, or a partner facility inland, we meet families where they are.
We are licensed in the State of Texas and certified to provide the Medicare Hospice Benefit, working alongside your existing physicians to honor every advance directive and personal preference.
Every North Star plan is built around the Medicare Hospice Benefit's four levels of care. Indicative pricing below reflects private-pay rates; most families qualify for full coverage under Medicare Part A, Medicaid, or veteran benefits.
The foundation of our program. Regular visits from registered nurses, hospice aides, social workers, and chaplains — coordinated around your loved one's home on Galveston Island or anywhere in our Gulf Coast service area. Includes medications, medical equipment, and supplies related to the terminal diagnosis.
Short-term, around-the-clock nursing in the home during a medical crisis — pain spikes, breathing distress, or acute symptom events. Keeps your loved one out of the hospital and stable in familiar surroundings.
Physician-directed regimens adjusted continuously for comfort.
Bathing, grooming, linen changes, gentle personal care.
Hospital beds, oxygen, wheelchairs, incontinence supplies, and durable medical equipment delivered and set up in the home.
Non-denominational chaplaincy, presence, and rituals at the family's request.
Thirteen months of grief support for the entire family after a loss.
Five-day stays at partner Galveston facilities so family caregivers can rest.
We are a local, independently operated hospice — not a national chain. Our team lives in the same coastal communities we serve, which means faster response times and a deeper understanding of what matters to families here.
Reach out whenever you are ready — most families contact us weeks before they need full hospice care. A nurse will return your message within the day to answer questions, explain the Medicare Hospice Benefit, and schedule a no-cost consultation at your Galveston-area home.
