About Texas Hospices

We are a free, independent hospice directory created by healthcare professionals to help families make informed decisions. We offer clear, objective information — including services, locations, and Medicare quality data — so you can compare hospice providers across Texas with confidence.

When someone you love needs hospice care, the last thing you should be doing is digging through dozens of websites to understand your options. You should be able to focus on your family — with confidence that you have clear, accurate information.

Texas Hospices was built to make that possible.

Our Story

Texas Hospices began with a simple but powerful question that families asked one of our founders — a board-certified hospice and palliative medicine physician — almost every day:

"What hospice should we choose?"

As a physician, they wanted to help families make the best choice for their unique situation. But they couldn't point to specific hospices—and more importantly, there wasn't a good resource to point people to.

Instead, families were forced to:

  • Search Medicare.gov
  • Search Texas Health & Human Services
  • Search provider websites
  • Read online reviews
  • Call multiple agencies
  • Piece everything together on their own

This meant families spent hours researching during one of the hardest times in their lives — time they should have been spending with their loved ones.

The information existed. But it was scattered, inconsistent, and difficult to understand.

Families deserved better.

So we created Texas Hospices — a comprehensive directory that brings essential, verified hospice information together in one easy-to-use place.

Our Mission

To give families clarity, transparency, and peace of mind — for free.

We built Texas Hospices to help families:

  • Understand all licensed Medicare-certified hospice providers in their area
  • Compare quality ratings, family experience scores, and accreditations
  • See service areas, specializations, and programs at a glance
  • Access trusted, verified information without endless searching
  • Make decisions grounded in facts, not frustration

For Families

We understand this decision personally.

We've navigated hospice choices within our own families, and we know how overwhelming it can feel.

Our medical background helps us understand which details matter most — not to give medical advice, but to ensure the information you see is:

  • Relevant
  • Clear
  • Compassionate
  • Easy to understand

This site is not medical advice, and nothing here replaces guidance from your healthcare team.

But our experience helps us design a resource that respects the emotional weight of this moment.

For Providers

Texas Hospices was built by someone who understands hospice care from the inside — the regulations, the quality metrics, and the heart behind the work you do.

We are:

  • Independent
  • Objective
  • Transparent
  • Committed to accuracy

Families deserve good information. Providers deserve fair, accurate representation.

We aim to support both.
