Discharge is ready, but home support and symptom management are not yet in place. If you are a family member or a clinician, you may recognize that moment. You want your loved one, or your patient, to be safe and comfortable. Hospice care exists to fill that gap.
AlēvCare Hospice steps into that space with a highly trained team, and a clear plan so home does not feel like a downgrade, it feels like the right next step.
At AlēvCare, “growing small” means we can serve more families without losing the close, hometown feel that matters most. Our team brings expert hospice support into your home while still knowing you by name, listening to your story, and shaping care around what matters to your family, so you never feel like just another case in the system.
Hospice care is specialized support for people living with a life-limiting illness when the focus shifts from cure to comfort and quality of life.
Hospice does not mean giving up. Instead, it means:
Prioritizing comfort, dignity, and relief from distressing symptoms
Supporting family caregivers with education and hands-on help
Helping patients remain where they feel most at ease whenever possible
Aligning care with what matters most to the patient and family
Most people qualify for hospice when a physician believes that, if the illness follows its usual course, life expectancy may be about six months or less. Many families tell us they wish they had started hospice earlier, because it gave them more time with support, not less.
Hospice care can help adults with a wide range of serious illnesses, including but not limited to:

A hospice nurse reviews your loved one’s medical information, speaks with you (and the physician, as needed), and explains whether hospice is appropriate.
If hospice is the right step, we coordinate the admission, deliver necessary equipment and medications, and outline a visit schedule tailored to your needs.
We visit regularly, adjust the plan as conditions change, and remain available 24/7 for questions or urgent concerns.
You do not have to make this decision alone or all at once. Call us at (469) 630-2538 to talk with our team about your loved one’s situation, ask questions, and explore your options. Whether you are a family member, caregiver, or healthcare professional, we welcome your questions.
