Hospice services are an option when curative measures are no longer available or desired. Of course, determining life expectancy – even during the course of a serious illness – may be difficult. Specific medical criteria serve as a guideline, but physicians are encouraged to consider all health problems and related factors when determining a patient’s eligibility for hospice. Home Hospice offers care to any Grayson, Cooke or Fannin County resident of any age who is eligible due to a limited life expectancy, regardless of ability to pay for services. If you, a family member, or friend have a serious illness, please talk with your physician about hospice eligibility.
