Hospice Services

For a variety of terminal illnesses — including end-stage cancer, dementia, Alzhiemer’s, kidney disease, and heart failure — we provide an individualized patient-centered care plan. Some of the services our care teams in Houston offer include:

• Education and support for routines, from daily grooming care to medications
• Nurse visits for pain management, evaluations, and coordination of care teams (doctors, medications, therapies, etc.)
• Hospice-trained spiritual care coordinators/chaplains and social workers for the emotional, mental, and spiritual needs at the end of life.
• Home health aides and volunteers to provide assistance and presence.
• Specialty programs including Care Bridge Cancer Care, Cardiac Care, and Journey’s End. Journey’s End provides continuity with increased hospice care visits in the final days of life with the intent of a hospice worker being bedside during the time of death and walking the family during these final stages.
• Bereavement care for up to 13 months after loss.

If you’re asking, “Where is the best hospice care near me?” you can rely on Heart to Heart Hospice for local, personalized care in the Houston Metroplex.

When is it time for hospice? Who is eligible?

When a doctor has determined the patient has a life expectancy of six months or less, and all curative treatments are discontinued, it is time to call in hospice. Many times families wait too long to seek comfort (palliative) care and support for end of life needs. Talk with your doctor and ask these questions: Is it Time for Hospice? 

Another concern for families is covering the costs of hospice care. Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits, and most private health insurance plans provide hospice benefits. Medicare beneficiaries receive hospice at little to no cost. Read more here: Eligibility and Paying For Hospice.
