What Is The Admission Procedure?
Anyone can make the initial request for services by
calling (409) 384-5995 or (800) 661-9047. You can also fill out our online contact form.
Contact may be made by the patient, a family member or a physician.
The family is encouraged to discuss the issue of hospice
care with the patient’s physician.
Certain Patients Need Inpatient Care
While hospice care is provided primarily in the home,
contract inpatient facilities are available to supplement
home care, if needed. Hospice maintains close working
relationships with several area hospitals and nursing
facilities including those in outlying areas.
Certain medical criteria are considered when inpatient
care is recommended as an appropriate patient care
alternative – for example, pain or other physical
symptoms that cannot be managed in the home setting.
