Compassionate care for patients and much needed help for family caregivers
You are not alone. We understand that caring for a loved one facing end of life can be very difficult. A recent AARP study reports that caregivers can't always do it themselves. The compassionate care team from Texas Hospice is here to help.
Physician House Call—Dr. Byrd and his team of physicians take an active role in the care of each Texas Hospice patient. Whether it is seeing a patient at home, directing the nursing team, or praying for specific patient and family needs, our physician involvement makes Texas Hospice unique among hospice companies.
Nurses—Our nurses, who specialize in palliative care, deliver our services in the form of counseling, medications, home medical equipment, and education. They teach and show family members how to care for their loved one. The nurses form the backbone of our services by coordinating with the physician, home health aide, social worker and chaplain.
Home Health Aide—Our hospice-trained home health aides assist our patients with basic needs such as bathing, dressing, grooming and hygiene.
Chaplain—A chaplain is available to minister to the spiritual needs of our patients and their families. Meet one of our chaplains.
Social Services—Our social workers help patients and their families with financial, end-of-life planning, and psychological and social matters. They connect families with appropriate and available government agencies and programs.
Pharmacy and Durable Medical Equipment (hospital bed, bedside commode, oxygen, etc.)—We provide all medications and equipment related to the patient’s hospice diagnosis.
