Our Hospice Services in Humble
Every patient deserves care that addresses physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Our hospice services in Humble are designed to provide comfort and reassurance for both patients and their loved ones:
- Personal Care Assistance. Our caregivers provide respectful help with bathing, dressing, grooming, hygiene, mobility, and meals. Just as important, we offer companionship so patients never feel alone. Families in Humble often express peace of mind knowing their loved ones are cared for with dignity.
- Pain & Symptom Management. Our nurses collaborate with physicians to manage pain, nausea, fatigue, and shortness of breath. We use medication, oxygen support, relaxation techniques, and holistic methods when appropriate. By managing symptoms effectively, patients can spend more quality time with family instead of focusing on discomfort.
- Emotional Support. Serious illness impacts everyone. Our counselors provide one-on-one sessions, family counseling, and access to grief support across Harris County. We also offer age-appropriate resources for children and teens in Humble, helping them cope in healthy ways.
- Spiritual Support. We honor all faiths and traditions. Our chaplains are available for prayer, reflection, or simply listening. For families without a religious background, we offer compassionate support in finding meaning and peace. We also coordinate with Humble-area faith leaders when requested.
- Medication Management. Managing prescriptions can be overwhelming. Our hospice team ensures medications are delivered, refills are managed, and side effects are monitored. Families in Humble value the relief of not having to juggle complicated medication schedules, we handle it for them.
- 24/7 On-Call Support. Illness doesn’t keep a schedule, which is why we’re here 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Whether symptoms change suddenly or families simply need reassurance, we’re always just a phone call away.
