Hospice Care Services

Our Wings Over Texas Hospice patients are each assigned an RN case manager, who typically visits one to three times a week. Additionally, our hospice patients and their caregivers have access to an on-call nurse 24 hours a day.

Our dedicated hospice aides follow each patient's personalized care plan with compassion and understanding. They provide gentle attentive care to every Wings Over Texas Hospice patient.

Our aim is to ensure the comfort of our patients. We are cognizant of the unique needs that arise at life's end. Hospice care generally includes all medications pertinent to the hospice diagnosis, as well as those designed to manage or lessen pain and symptoms.
