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, 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.
Bayou City Healthcare Services
Bayou City Hospice understands how during difficult times trying to find additional support can be draining and take away time from your loved ones, so we have created a support network within our care services that goes beyond standard hospice care. We believe that excellent hospice care is not limited to only immediate health concerns and provides additional services to our hospice patients and their family members.

Scheduled Home Visits
Regardless of where our hospice patients call home we provide the same quality of hospice care. Whether they’re in a residential facility, nursing home, assisted living, hospital inpatient facility, or private family residence we strive to make every patient feel at home through the support and care of our staff. These routine hospice healthcare visits are designed to not only meet the immediate medical needs of our patients, but also their spiritual and emotional needs. The family members of our patients are an extension of our care and support and can benefit greatly through these regular visits. These visits will be scheduled to provide regular care and these patient services may be scheduled up to 7 days a week.
Navigation Comfort
With hospice care and many of our additional support services our main goal is the comfort of our patients. To best navigate our options for patient comfort we are able to increase the frequency visits our support staff makes in a week. When symptoms increase we are able to make more visits and can provide more extensive support. This flexibility means less worrying for the family and better medical resources during times when symptoms feel overwhelming.

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.

Short-Term Respite Care
In many hospice situations health complications can be overwhelming and truthfully can become exhausting for the family and other primary caregivers. Oftentimes caregiving requires more time and energy than an individual has to offer and they will require both support and a way of taking much needed personal rest. Respite Care gives the patient’s family a short time to step away from daily care in order to attend an event such as a wedding, graduation, or an out of town obligation. If the family simply needs time to rest and recharge, they are able to take advantage of our respite care support service knowing their loved one is receiving excellent quality care. As a part of the Medicare Hospice benefits a patient is able to stay comfortably in an inpatient facility for hospice patients or a nursing home for up to 5 full days. A temporary caregiver providing full-time support for your loved one provides necessary time for family members to take care of themselves so they have the strength to care for their loved one. If you’re in need of respite care for a loved one we can help create an arrangement that works best for you.
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.
