Where we provide hospice care in the Fort Worth area

Our care teams serve patients and families across Fort Worth, Arlington, Denton and the surrounding communities. Hospice is a service, not a place — care comes to wherever your loved one lives, whether that’s a private home, an assisted living or memory care community, or a skilled nursing facility.

Paying for hospice care in Texas

Hospice is funded by Medicare Part A, by Medicaid and by most private insurers, so for most families there is little or no out-of-pocket cost for hospice care. In many cases hospice actually relieves financial pressure, because medications, equipment and supplies related to the hospice diagnosis are covered. Our Fort Worth team can verify coverage and walk you through the benefit when you call.

Common questions from Fort Worth families

Does Medicare cover hospice in Fort Worth?

Yes. The Medicare Part A hospice benefit covers hospice care for eligible patients, and Medicaid and most private insurance plans offer comparable coverage. That includes visits from the care team, medications for comfort, and medical equipment related to the hospice diagnosis.

Can my loved one receive hospice at home?

Yes — most of the patients we serve receive hospice care in the place they call home, whether that’s a private residence, an assisted living or memory care community, or a nursing facility anywhere in the Fort Worth area.

Does starting hospice mean giving up?

No. Hospice is not designed to shorten or prolong life — it shifts the focus to comfort and quality of life, for the patient and the whole family. Some patients even outlive their prognosis, and care plans are adjusted for as long as they remain eligible.
