Mission
Home Hospice is a non-profit organization, founded in 1982, dedicated to providing education, programs, services and quality care to palliate physical, emotional and spiritual symptoms at end-of-life for patients, families, and caregivers regardless of ability to pay, as well as all in our communities who grieve.
Vision
Home Hospice of Grayson, Cooke & Fannin Counties will endeavor to be the most trusted provider of professional, ethical, individualized palliative, end-of-life care; and to ensure excellence in patient care, family support, grief education and guidance, and community education since 1982. Home Hospice is the premier organization in which to serve holistically those who journey through the final phase of life and/or the healing phase of grief.
Just because days are limited, quality of life shouldn’t be. We help patients and families find comfort and peace. Surprisingly, perhaps, there are still opportunities to experience joy. Let us be of assistance during this time, when every moment is more precious than ever.
It’s natural for many, including patients and families to have questions, concerns – even fears about the days ahead. A great truth we often ignore is that we all will face death. Still, the news of a life-limiting condition often comes as a surprise. Just as life is about choices, in many instances, so is death. Patients, and ultimately many of us, are faced with how to live out remaining days – what endeavors are most critical, what treatment options are desired, what issues need resolving?
An important part of hospice is that our patients direct their care. You are in control of many decisions that affect how you wish to live. Working with your own family physician, our team – physicians and nurses, clergy, social workers, aides, trained volunteers – surround you with support. We offer services and programs that not only help physically, but often bring a smile.
Home Hospice has served this area as a nonprofit organization since 1982 when a group of forward-thinking volunteers joined together to minister to the needs of dying patients and their families. Today, staff and volunteers live nearby, ensuring rapid responses and the thoughtful care neighbors have traditionally provided.
