Compassionate and Personalized Hospice Care

Working alongside the support team of each patient, Bayou City Hospice works with healthcare providers, family members, local hospital staff, and with direct input from all of our patients to design the specific care and resources needed to support their medical and healthcare needs. We believe that no matter where a hospice patient is staying they should feel like they are home, so we provided home health visits, hospital visits, general care at nursing homes or other long-term facilities, as well as impatient care. We strive to avoid hospitalizations that are unnecessary and can be stressful and draining and do our best to continue the best level of care possible without defaulting to a hospitalization. Our hospice patients are our number one priority whether they have entered into our hospice care, palliative care, require regular home health checkups, or are in a long-term care facility. Bayou City Hospice serves the Houston area and communities nearby to provide compassionate and individualized hospice care and a variety of other healthcare service options.

Locally Owned Quality Hospice Care

Bayou City Hospice is proud to be rooted in our Texas community. As a locally owned and operated hospice care business we are able to create a strong community within our network of healthcare workers, nurses, physicians, aides, and more. Being local we are able to commit resources in an immediate and direct way when a medical issue arises so we don’t waste time on cluttered communication channels. We believe that the quality of care is directly impacted by the time each hospice patient is given and have created a great support system within our staff and are proud to maintain an exceptional patient-to-staff ratio. Our hospice patients depend on the care they receive from our professional home health experts and we equip them to continue providing excellent care.

Inpatient Hospice Care Services

When dealing with medical uncertainty Bayou City Hospice knows that the required support a hospice patient needs can change frequently. We strive to make hospice care in Houston as accommodating as possible for the family members and home care providers of each patient. Our staff is ready to provide short-term care in a nursing facility, or even a hospital during times when a hospice client is showing symptoms that aren’t as easily managed at home. Wherever our hospice patients are we work with healthcare providers and facility staff to make their stay as comfortable as possible. It is a crucial part of the Bayou City Hospice belief that wherever a patient is located they should feel they are home. In order to make sure the care a patient is receiving is at the appropriate level, an RN will perform regular evaluations to help our staff determine what is best. We always consult with the patient and their loved ones before making any changes to their hospice care they are receiving. Overall, when providing care support during an inpatient stay we focus on not just comfort, but stabilizing their symptoms so they can return to their home whenever appropriate.

Continuous Care

During periods where there is more difficulty controlling symptoms we offer continuous care, which serves as a temporary, short-term service that relieves the pressure of caretakers and family members during a potential crisis. A healthcare worker such as a nurse or an aid will provide bedside support for your loved one. This care can be up to 24 hours per day and one of the best benefits of this is that it allows the family members of the patient more quality time to spend with their loved one instead of putting their energy towards caregiving. An RN will monitor and evaluate when continuous care is appropriate daily and provide feedback to our staff. 

Bereavement Service

Losing a family member or loved one is a very difficult process and in order to help provide as much support as possible we offer up to 13 months of support for bereavement. Bayou City Hospice provides a variety of resources and will continue making contact with you during your time of bereavement. We send mailings multiple times throughout the year, offer phone support and can provide further support if you would like both on the phone and in-person. We can meet you in a place of your choosing that will help you feel comfortable and are able to provide additional resources and referrals if you feel you can benefit from them.
