What is Hospice?
Hospice care is specialized medical care for people living with a life-limiting illness when treatment is no longer focused on cure, but on comfort and quality of life.
Hospice does not mean giving up. It means:
Managing pain, breathing, anxiety, and other symptoms
Supporting emotional and spiritual well-being
Helping patients remain at home or in a familiar setting whenever possible
Supporting family members and caregivers every step of the way
Many families tell us they wish they had started hospice sooner. Research shows that patients who receive hospice care earlier often live an average of 29 days longer, with better comfort and support.
Who Pays For Hospice Care?
One of the most common concerns families have is cost. Hospice care through AlēvCare is fully covered by Medicare when eligibility criteria are met.
Medicare covers:
Hospice nurse visits
Medications related to the terminal illness
Medical equipment and supplies
Hospice aides for personal care
Social work and spiritual support
Bereavement support for families
Most private insurance plans and Medicaid also include hospice benefits. Our team helps verify coverage and handles the coordination so you are not navigating this alone.
Who We Serve
AlēvCare Hospice serves adults with serious, life-limiting illnesses, including but not limited to:
Advanced cancer
Heart failure
Lung disease
Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
Neurological conditions
Advanced kidney or liver disease
Hospice is appropriate when a physician believes life expectancy may be about six months or less if the illness follows its usual course. Patients can continue hospice care beyond six months if they remain eligible.
Families do not need to wait until the final days. Earlier hospice involvement often brings better symptom control, less stress, and more meaningful time together.

Support for Children and Teens
AlēvCare Hospice is the only hospice in our coverage area with a full-time Child Life Specialist.
This specialized role supports children and young adults (approximately ages 4–22) by:
Helping them understand illness and loss in age-appropriate ways
Supporting parents with difficult conversations
Providing grief and coping tools during and after hospice care
We offer this service because supporting the entire family matters.
This role is not required by Medicare and is not reimbursed. We offer it because we believe young people affected by serious illness deserve specialized care.
Where Hospice Care Takes Place
We provide hospice care wherever patients call home, including:
Private residences
Assisted living communities
Memory care settings
Other appropriate home-like environments
Our team serves North Texas communities, bringing care directly to the patient rather than requiring travel to appointments.
