Our Hospice Services in Galena Park
We believe hospice should care for the whole person; body, mind, and spirit. Our hospice services in Galena Park are personalized for each patient and family:
- Personal Care Assistance. We help with bathing, grooming, dressing, hygiene, mobility, and mealtime. Beyond daily tasks, our caregivers provide companionship, ensuring patients feel cared for and respected.
- Pain & Symptom Management. Our nurses work closely with physicians to manage pain, nausea, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Care includes medications, oxygen therapy, and holistic techniques when appropriate. Families in Galena Park can focus on meaningful time together, not discomfort.
- Emotional Support. Serious illness affects everyone in the family. Our social workers and counselors provide individual and family counseling, along with access to Harris County support groups. Children and teens also receive special guidance to help them cope.
- Spiritual Support. We honor every belief and tradition. Chaplains offer prayer, reflection, and listening. Families without a religious background are equally supported in finding peace. We also collaborate with local Galena Park clergy when requested.
- Medication Management. Managing prescriptions can feel overwhelming. Our team delivers medications, tracks refills, and monitors for side effects or interactions. Families find reassurance knowing prescriptions are handled properly.
- 24/7 On-Call Support. Our care team is available any time; day, night, weekends, and holidays. Families can always reach us when urgent needs arise.
