Before I start my review, I have to make a stateme...

Before I start my review, I have to make a statement about hospice. We all have spent our entire lives knowing only healing medical care. At the point that medical science can no longer stop your body from failing you, it is time to consider hospice. It will be the most difficult decision you and your family will ever have to make, but once you accept that, the Houston Hospice is the absolute best place for your loved one.

It is true that angles still walk the earth, and many of them work and volunteer at Houston Hospice. I have never been exposed to such a high level of service, support, compassion, and care before. Houston Hospice is the only in-patient and "not for profit" hospice in the Houston area. No family ever receives a bill from Houston Hospice, anything not covered by insurance or Medicare is covered by charitable donations.

Everyone including the doctors, the nurses, the volunteers, and the administrative staff was patient, compassionate, and supportive of both my brother and me, his only family. They were responsive to all my brother's needs, keeping him pain free, calm and comfortable through his final days. They also constantly inquired about my health and comfort. The rooms are very large, with sleeper sofas and recliners so family and friends can stay with their loved ones. Their volunteers will sit with your loved ones when you have to be away. There is a kitchen on-site that provides family with food at very reasonable prices. There is a snack bar with free coffee and tea 24 hours a day. The facility is more like a resort than a hospital with laundry facilities, family rooms, a very large garden, and chapel.

In conclusion, there is no better place that I could have picked for my brother to spend his last days. I highly recommend Houston Hospice to anyone in need of Hospice care.
