Our hospice care in Galveston County includes four distinct levels of service designed to adapt to changing patient needs. Routine care establishes the foundation of our services, with regularly scheduled nursing visits to manage symptoms, coordinate medication management, and provide personalized attention in your home’s comfort. During acute medical crises, our continuous care delivers 8-24 hours of dedicated nursing presence, offering hospital-level monitoring while patients remain in familiar, comforting surroundings throughout Galveston County communities.
Family caregivers provide invaluable support, and we recognize their need for occasional relief. Our respite care offers temporary reprieve through short-term skilled nursing facility placement for up to five days, giving caregivers essential rest while ensuring their loved one receives professional, compassionate care. When complex symptoms require hospital-level intervention, our general inpatient care provides hospital-based hospice services for up to five days, maintaining our comfort-focused philosophy during acute medical episodes.

Your doctor will send necessary hospice orders and clinical documentation, and our team will coordinate all admission arrangements immediately for a smooth, seamless transition to hospice care.
For patients without an established physician relationship or those unable to travel for appointments, we offer convenient self-referral options. Our experienced Nurse Practitioners conduct comprehensive home evaluations throughout Galveston County to assess hospice appropriateness according to clinical guidelines. When qualifications are met, they provide the medical orders needed to initiate services promptly and begin delivering compassionate care.
