Hospice of East Texas Review

Very compassionate and respectful to families and their loved one.

I agree. I've met some of the most caring staff at the Hospice of East Texas, HomePlace. They have encouraged me when I needed that and laughed with me too. My father couldn't be in a better place and he is doing so much better than when he entered the hospice 2 weeks ago. That is a direct result of the love and attention and care he has received from the nurse's aides and nurses all the way up to the physicians and even the chaplain. What a beautiful facility it is and so much more than merely a beautiful building, although the building and grounds are lovely as well. There is a chapel where prayer requests can be written, a quiet room and cozy library and plenty of space in the rooms as well. I am running into people I've known for years who also have loved ones there. Kindness goes a long way for families dealing with end of life issues. I will say a prayer for the caregivers, as I reflect on the wonderful people I have met and know by name. Top notch facility which is like a home. Thank you all

I am very proud to work for this organization! Not only do our patients and families receive exceptional care, the employees are well respected and appreciated also. The Hospice of East Texas serves anyone in need, regardless of their financial status. Our physicians are incredibly knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Our social workers are able to make magic happen by provide our families just what they need when it seems impossible. Our hospice aids and nurses build strong relationships with our patients as we visit often, providing intimate care. The chaplains provide copious amounts of love, support, and prayers! Our volunteers are our backbone: they do so much behind the scenes to make sure everything is perfect. They, also, build strong relationships with our patients and families by providing a friendship like no other. Bereavement services are available, not only to families served by Hospice of East Texas, but to ANYONE in the community needing a little extra help dealing with the death of a loved one. We even have a very special children's program that helps our kids to cope and recover from loss on their own level!! What a service HOET provides to our community, and does a GREAT job all the way around!

It takes a GIANT heart to do what you do! Thank you to all the Doctor's, nurses, volunteers, Chaplains, etc. that were there for us when my Dad went to Heaven 12-13-14. We could have not asked for a better experience. Although our hearts were breaking, we were all in great hands. We were able to be by my dads side for 3 days and nights before he passed. We prayed and sang and even had other patients families coming in to sing with us. What an awesome experience! I am a nurse myself and I have never experienced the love at a facility like I did there. I tell everyone about this awesome place!! THANK YOU for ALL you do!!

My mom just spent her last two weeks of life at Rock Haven Nursing Home in the care of The Hospice of East Texas. I never thought losing a parent could be a positive experience, but that impression is gone. Robin Kirk and Teresa were Mom's hospice nurses. They built a trusting relationship, and honored her in life and in death. The social worker and chaplain contacted me to offer support and counsel. They even offer grief counseling for the family after losing a loved one.

I cannot imagine choosing any other team for end of life care.

My mother had a diamond ring on her finger when she went in hospice, we couldn't remove it from her finger because it was tightly on her finger. After being in hospice and losing weight , someone took it off her finger . The staff was told but nothing was done to try to recover her ring. No one followed up with my family. It's bad enough to have a family in hospice but it is terrible to know someone took a sick woman diamond ring off her finger and kept it.

Our grandkids lost their mother last year and are going to grief counseling here, they really like it and the people are so caring

Everyone at Hospice was a balm and comfort as we spent our last days with our mom. These people give their whole heart despite the circumstances that surround them. I cannot recommend them enough when one's journey is ending.

Dying is a part of life and when the time comes, if such a facility is needed, you could not ask for a better place. The surroundings are beautiful, the staff is outstanding, and dignity is their number one priority! God Bless these wonderful people. They made my mothers final days a blessing!

Exceptional @ caring staff. Spotlessly clean facility.
