Heart to Heart Hospice Opens New Hospice House in San Antonio

New inpatient facility will serve hospice patients and families; Open House event set for Oct. 24

Plano, Texas – Heart to Heart Hospice, one of the country’s largest private providers of hospice care, is opening a new Hospice House as an extension of its service offerings to patients and families in the San Antonio area. An Open House for the new facility will take place on Oct. 24.

The San Antonio Hospice House will be staffed by healthcare professionals specially trained in hospice care. It is a home-like environment for hospice patients needing pain control or symptom management beyond what can feasibly be provided in the home or for when caregivers need a break from their duties.

Kelly Mitchell, Heart to Heart Hospice founder and chief executive officer, said Heart to Heart has been serving the San Antonio community since 2009. “Our goal is to provide comfort, support, and dignity,” he said, “and our new Hospice House has a full array of amenities designed to ensure this high level of care for both patients and their loved ones.”

The Hospice House has 14 beautifully appointed private rooms. Each room has its own decor, private bathroom, cable TV, free Wi-Fi, sitting area for family, and accommodations for one overnight guest. The common areas include a family room, a quiet room, a children’s playroom, a kitchen area, and a dining area for friends and family members to gather. Families will have 24/7 access to their loved one and appropriate four-legged family members are welcome to visit.

The new facility, located at 8554 Huebner Road, Building 2, is near San Antonio’s South Texas Medical Center, making it convenient for families in the area. Heart to Heart Hospice also serves patients and families in the nearby counties of Bandera, Bexar, Gillespie, Kerr, Kendall, and Medina.

The community is invited to attend the Open House, on Thursday, Oct. 24. It will feature live music, hors d’oeuvres, and beverages. The event will offer several opportunities for guests: a Tour from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. and a Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony and Cocktail Hour from 5 until 7 p.m.
