AlēvCare Hospice partners with Tarleton State University

Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas | February 7, 2023 | Press Release from AlēvCare® Hospice:

AlēvCare Hospice has partnered with Tarleton State University to provide educational opportunities for nursing students in the areas of hospice and end-of-life care, helping develop future nurses who are equipped to care for patients with dignity, compassion, and clinical excellence, especially within the communities they call home.

As part of AlēvCare’s ongoing mission to strengthen hospice awareness and invest in the future of healthcare, AlēvCare Hospice will provide Tarleton State nursing students with didactic education on hospice philosophy and comfort-focused care, along with opportunities for students to participate in observational visits alongside AlēvCare Hospice nurses during patient visits throughout the local community, including patients in smaller towns and rural communities across North Texas.

This partnership reflects a shared commitment to improving end-of-life care knowledge among the next generation of community-serving nurses.

“We believe great nursing is rooted in both knowledge and heart,” said David Dowd, Founder and CEO of AlēvCare Hospice. “Hospice care teaches nurses how to support the whole person, not just clinically, but emotionally and relationally. We’re grateful for the opportunity to partner with Tarleton State University and help prepare nurses who will serve families with compassion, steadiness, and an authentic commitment to their neighbors.”

Through this partnership, students will gain deeper exposure to hospice and end-of-life care, including communication skills, symptom management, caregiver support, and the interdisciplinary nature of caring for patients with serious illness in the home setting.

The WHOLE STAFF was professional, compassionate, informative, patient, and responsive. Their team made the whole process of mom's passing less stressful. They were caring and comforting. My sister and I are very grateful for the service of AlevCare Hospice of Mansfield, Texas.

My mother was cared for by AlevCare during the last few months of her life. From the administration, volunteers, chaplains, aids and especially the nurses the care she received was top notch. My sister and I feel that their compassionate and thoughtful care greatly improved the quality of her life. Additionally, they communicated with us frequently and we knew what to expect. Since Mom passed (gently and painlessly)they have been very supportive for our family.I highly recommend AlevCare.

Alev Care Hospice took the best care of my beloved Dad. They treated him with kindness, grace, compassion and love. We will never forget. Five stars for the entire team at Alev Care.

AlevCare Hospice walked with us through two family members’ end of life. Everyone we had contact with was compassionate, caring, and responsive. We were fortunate to have the same nurse, Angela D, with both. She is an angel on earth.

We are so thankful to everyone at AlevCare. Lisa, Kelly and Christina really made this transition for our family a little more peaceful and made us feel loved and was open and honest. You all have been amazing throughout this whole process with us.💜

Miss Becky came into my life from a referral. What an absolute Godsend she is! Her crew were quick to get a hospital bed and supplies to my house and all of the people she sent were the very best at what they do. First it was a company called Horizon that came and set up the bed, oxygen and supplies. Mark at Horizon was professional and fast at delivery and pick up. They also had medications delivered to my door! Then it was the Case Worker, Tonya, and the RN Carlie that made decisions that were best for our situation. Two nurse angels from Mercy named Carol and Kristin took shifts to keep my darling husband comfortable while I grieved. There was also Nurse Celia who was so compassionate and patient with my confused husband!! Miss Becky had everything under control during a heartbreaking time for me and from start to finish the whole team was compassionate, professional and extremely competent. I recommend AlevCare Hospice very highly should your family be in the heartbreaking situation we were in. I call them the parade of angels that show up and manage the entire process for you. Thank you to this lovely team of sweet professionals! I will be grateful to each one of you for the rest of my life!

The hospice time with AlevCare is incredible. They are so kind and caring, always in tune with my mother and her needs and are excellent at keeping me informed of her health and mental status. Our family is so thankful for all the attention to detail and their kindness. You can tell it comes from the heart!

My husband and I are very grateful for AlevCare Hospice. Everyone who has come by the house to speak with my mom has been friendly, caring, professional and knowledgeable about senior care. They anticipate her needs and give us peace of mind. Highly recommend AlevCare Hospice!

May 29, I received a text from the nurse who helped us Annie today to see how we were doing. We were surprised but also thankful. THis is not a company who forgets about you after your relative passes. Also thank yo for responding Mr. David. For replying to all our messages. All our thanks. First review --->>>Last month we used this hospice for my dad. From the very start when we called then when the nurse came out to explain hospice. I was personally very nervous because I had the wrong idea, that they just stay and give the person medication to sleep until they pass. The nurse was very informative and brought a calm presence to us. Most importantly she gave us things to do to help my dad feel comfortable and explained what would happen next and what to expect. I was worried my dad would dehydrate and suffer but learned that the body stops wanting food and water because it needs that to be peaceful. Within a few hours of the nurse coming and getting him on hospice we had a bed and oxygen and medication for pain and breathing and anxiety. He was not on hospice very long, just one day, but he was able to die peacefully. My mom and grandma were able to relax as much as they could knowing he was in good hands. We looked at one other hospice the hospital recommended but I am so glad we chose Alevcare. Thank you so much to the nurse that came out, and the person that gave him the bath. I don't remember their names but thank you. Also to the people who called after he died too. We truly felt your care even in that quick day he was on hospice. RIP dad.

My Dad has been gone a year now. As I reflect on the last 4 months of his life, after we elected to put him on Hospice Care and keep him at home, I am grateful for that decision, and especially for choosing AlevCare Hospice. The caregivers were amazing. Each one from his admitting nurse, to his care manager RN, who stopped in to check on him not only on her reg scheduled times but any time I asked her for an extra visit; his wonderful Social Worker, who quickly keyed in on his status as a WWII VET and engaged with him about his life as a missionary; to his lovely CNA who was able to get him cleaned up and kept us all sane knowing he was treated gently and respectfully. His Chaplain gave us, his children, and grandchildren caring, loving, help the last 3 days Dad was alive.I am an RN with 15 years of Hospice experience at 3 different companies, I truly can say AlevCare was far and away the best Hospice team I could have asked for. The management, the on call staff, and Dad’s Team of caregivers were really the best. His last few months were made less difficult, and more bearable for him and for his family. On behalf of Kenneth W Christopherson ( 101 yrs ), Thank you AlevCare!

I wanted to share my experience w/Alevcare. I’m in healthcare so I already knew about their stellar reputation. They did not disappoint. Everyone in their company who cared for our family during a very tragic time served with grace, compassion and professionalism. I highly recommend AlevCare for anyone who needs hospice

I just wanted to express my deep gratitude for Alevcare Hospice. They walked with me the whole way. They answered all my questions and gave me advice on what was going to take place. My story was difficult and They were Wonderful! My dad did not want hospice but they comforted my Dad like I would have done.I want do a shout out to Wendy and Mary also the gentleman that came to the hospital.They were 10 star rating for me. When I left the center to gather my thoughts my Dad (Billie Harris) passed away. They called to tell me and when I got there they had cleaned him up and was laying in his bed so peaceful. To this day I appreciate them so much and they still called for a couple of weeks to check on me.Thank you with All my Heart! ❤️

Words cannot adequately express my deepest appreciation and gratitude for the exceptional client experience that AlevCare provided to me/my family during my mother's recent passing. AlevCare went above and beyond to offer comfort, personalization, prompt responses and genuine empathy, especially at a time when I was unsure how to manage the details of this quick, difficult situation. AlevCare provided quality and consistency at every step and with every service provider that achieved the ultimate outcome of serenity, peace, and dignity in my mother's final moments. Thank you, thank you - AlevCare. I will be forever grateful.

Once the decision was made to have hospice care for my husband we were referred to AlevCare. A case worker came out to tell us about AlevCare services. She was very caring and understanding and did not pressure us to make a decision but after all areas of hospice care were explained we chose AlevCare. From the minute we made our decision we were treated with the upmost care and compassion. The nurse assigned to us was Meagan. I have only high praise for her. She truly made us feel like family rather than just a patient. Destiny was his aide. My husband was a very private person and she made him feel at ease. The chaplain came to visit and had prayer with us. There were others that came and all were professional yet very tender in the care for my husband. When the time was near Meagan came and provided a calmness in our home. She respected our privacy and explained what to expect and allowed us to be with him as he peacefully transitioned to Heaven. We could not of had better care. I would highly recommend AlevCare.

Having a loved one on hospice is so hard, but Alēv Care makes it easier.They have a person for everything, including a child specialist to help my 11 yo navigate having grandma spend her final months in the comfort of our home. My child doesn’t usually open up well to adults but she took an instant liking to Kelly and looks forward to their visits. I love that we can continue this service after grandma passes so my daughter has someone besides her parents to guide her through her grief. I lost my grandma around this age and I could’ve used someone like Kelly to help me with my grief.They are flexible, which helps me make sure my mom is supported while I’m also about to make school pickup on time.Our nurse Sarah is responsive and very flexible. She listens to feedback on medications and adjusts accordingly so my mom is comfortable but not zombie-fied. When my mom ran a fever in the evening, Sarah made sure an on call nurse came to us quickly.They’re only here a few hours a week right now since my mom is not quite ready for a lot of care and the amount of weight they’ve lifted from my shoulders is so much.My mom loves Lupe. We love Lupe too, but my mom looks forward to Lupe coming to help her during the week.I definitely couldn’t do this without the respite care which Tanya coordinates with so much care and attention to anything my mom needs. I know she’s safe so I can enjoy small breaks with my family as we have been caring for my mom since shortly after she was diagnosed with her illness 5 years ago.Everyone we’ve dealt with has been incredibly supportive and you can tell this is more than a paycheck to them. And nothing feels rushed or like they’re just waiting for my mom to die. They’re committed to making her final months comfortable and happy, and they are happy to do that for as long as my mom needs.I couldn’t ask for a better support system ❤️

Alevcare Hospice made a very difficult time much more bearable. From the kind and compassionate nurses, to the ongoing help from the child-life specialist, Alevcare had everything handled for us. We got medical equipment, prescription meds, and emotional support for me and my children both before my husband passed away and since. The nurses, chaplains, and child-life specialist were all incredible and prayed for us and with us. I am especially grateful for Cori, Tonya, and Kelly. My kids hug Kelly when she comes to “play” and they tell her they miss their dad and talk about their emotions in a way few kids understand how to do at such a young age. I am very grateful that we were led to such a wonderful, caring company.

On behalf of our family, we would like to thank AlevCare and all of their staff that helped make the Hospice experience with our father and grandfather the most comfortable for Ray and easy process for us as a family. This was our very first time in dealing with hospice care and we had a wonderful experience and could not have done it without the support from AlevCare. From the very start of admitting him on hospice, David and his team worked with us and was very informative on what was to come or what to expect anywhere from the paperwork processes to the nursing support. Thank you AlevCare for all of your loving care and support we truly appreciate you.

As a trusted partner to our Assisted Living Home, our team and residents families rely heavily on the compassion and dedication of an A+ hospice company like AlevCare. We've personally seen them in action and have nothing but wonderful things to say about the owner and the family-like team.

Alev care was excellent and got things done fast. We needed help. We called them. 2 days later we were at home with my dad with all the stuff he needed and hospice nurses there the same day. They were prompt and efficient. If we needed them they came right away. They were there till the end. Everyone that helped us was amazing. If I had to choose again I would pick them first thing. What an amazing company! Well done Alev Care. Thanks for caring!

AlevCare was such a blessing to our family. We didn’t really understand the difference between palliative care and hospice and didn’t think we were quite at the hospice stage yet with my GranGran. Shannon guided us through the process and explained everything. AlevCare took so much of the weight off of our shoulders. We were able to spend more time loving on our GranGran while Angela and AlevCare took care of her medical needs. We absolutely loved our nurse, Angela. She was an angel. We would hands down recommend AlevCare to anyone interviewing hospice companies.

Needing hospice care is a very painful realization. If you choose this agency you'll get excellent nurses. They are knowledgeable, capable, kind, patient, and empathetic. Our aide came daily (M-F). She not only took care of my husband by bathing, lotioning, & changing him, but did so gently and with compassion. She also taught me how to care for him and tricks and techniques to do so. He was made comfortable.I highly recommend choosing Alevcare for your loved one and you.

AlevCare Hospice’s owners and staff are absolutely amazing!!! There are not enough accolades or words to describe our experience.When the call was made for my father-in-law, they responded with lightning speed.Very attentive, compassionate, and respectful to the whole family. The care they provide is second to none, above and beyond.If you need end of life care for a loved one, there is no other choice than AleCare Hospice.

My husband’s sister had a stroke and the other nursing home was not giving her the care she needed. And we knew she needed hospice care as her health was declining. I called AleveCare asking them for help as I was feeling overwhelmed and they just took over and got her evaluated within hours and they called many places and found her a place soon after. She passed away 10 days later. Becky Woodall and her nursing staff were very professional, kind and went beyond to make sure Kim was taken care of with much comfort. I am so grateful for them. HUGS!

Terry Jurkoshek

17:24 02 Nov 23

Words cannot express my deep appreciation for the loving care provided by AlevCare for my brother Jack Jurkoshek. All staff were professional and knowledgeable as they guided our family through a very difficult journey. Thank you to everyone for your concern, compassion and warmth.

There is no possible way I can express my gratitude for all the wonderful people at Alev Hospice Care. I could not have had the strength to be my mom’s caregiver the last week of her life if it was not for everyone at this amazing establishment. They gave me the guidance, confidence and support every single day throughout the process. As soon as we made the decision, I called the owner, David, on his cell phone late at night and before a holiday. He immediately answered the phone explained how his team helps care for your loved one and put me at ease. Before 11 PM, a nurse was at my home enrolled my mother, and medications were delivered immediately to keep her comfortable. This is not an easy decision to make, but everyone nurse, nurse’s aide, equipment delivery drivers showed such genuine compassion for my mother, myself, and my family. They were truly available 24/7 and wanted to make sure I felt supported and confident being my mother’s caregiver. This company has such high standards and everyone that works here loves their job and the company. I HIGHLY recommend ALEV to anyone going through this experience. Special shout out to Larry, both Angela’s, and Ashley. I appreciate you and will never forget you.

There's not enough words to fully express our gratitude and thanks to AlēvCare Hospice for their dedication and dignity in the care provided to my father during his departure. They completely made everything so easy, seamless and something that one would think would be such a horrible event, ended up being full of acceptance and understanding through their experience and knowledge of the process. It made a world of a difference for all of us. A very special thanks to Shannon, Tonya, Lona & Robert. With out any questions whatsoever. This group holds the highest standards in care, equipment, products and sacrifices nothing. Highly recommended.

15:37 29 Apr 23

I decided to share our experience with AlevCare. I know it can be hard to make a decision like this as it pertains to loved ones. My mom and I switched from another hospice company over to AlevCare. It was hard, because neither one of us was completely sure of what we were doing through this arduous process. We were not disappointed by our decision. Thank goodness as this team assisted us every step of the way in every facet of my father’s declining health from dementia. They were knowledgeable and on point as well as emotionally available and reassuring to us. Of course, it’s vitally important to know that you are relying on a group of professionals to provide stellar service for your loved ones and actually genuinely care; as AlevCare did! We are so thankful we chose this company and again wanted to share with others.

Thank you for your compassion and kindness shown to me and my loved one. From the first visit. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I can finally breathe. Things that I have been trying to get accomplished for my mom’s care for the past year have been answered by AlēvCare on the first visit. I’m am grateful to have them here for the journey I will be going through with my mother. 5 stars are not enough for me and it’s just day one.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Would highly recommend to anyone. Very compassionate staff and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of hospice care.

AlevCare has given me a gift that will enable me to live the rest of my life without guilt and remorse. I have only a feeling of calm when I reflect on how AlevCare cared for my Mom in her final days.As exhaustion from sleep deprivation and mental fatigue set in to family care givers or single caregiver, decisions that should be obvious, become difficult to make. Making the decision of turning ones dying Mother or loved one, over to complete strangers while in this foggy state of mind is very very difficult. However, at some point, this must occur or there will soon be two patients as the family caregiver becomes the patient due to physical and emotional breakdown. Walking out the room where ones loved one is, to get what seems like a few hours of selfish sleep is difficult, actually far more than difficult. Leaving a dying loved one with a person who you met only a few minutes earlier, now in complete control of medication issuance and life and death service....is extremely difficult to say the least. Leaving the person who gave you life, who has made made late night sacrifices caring for you as an infant, to a stranger, seems selfish in order to get a few hours of sleep. But, this must be done.This is not my first experience with a hospice company as I have been through hospice three times with family members.Regarding AlevCare....there can be no better hospice company. From inception of the hospice decision to moms passing, the service was seamless, gentle, caring and professional. From the management team to the actual hospice nurses, helping my Mother pass was done by AlevCare as perfectly as hospice can be provided.When I met with the AlevCare management representative, with the lead nurse to establish the hospice plan and with our actual hospice nurse...well I was confident that I had made a good decision to select AlevCare. When the time came for me to actually leave Mom and get a few hours of sleep, I was calm as I left my sleeping Mom with the AlevCare hospice nurse sitting quietly beside her bed, noting times and types of medication issued. I went home got some much needed sleep. I met other AlevCare nurses over the next few days and each one brought the same professional, caring, service.When the last day came, AlevCare phoned to let me know that Mom had passed while I was out trying to keep my personal life going which also has to be done. Mom had passed after seeing myself and my brother daily and all her sisters in the previous few days. Her passing at that time did not surprise me as this is not uncommon for hospice patients elect to pass after loved ones have all been seen for the last time.I arrived at Mom's apartment at Legend Senior Living in Mansfield, a wonderful residence, only a few minutes after she passed but the AlevCare nurse on duty in her room was compassionate, informative and professional about what had just transpired and what had transpired in the morning hours before.I can sleep again now, because I know Mom is in heaven and had the best care possible. I did not let her down under the most difficult times of her life, with my decision to use AlevCare.If I am in need of hospice again, I will certainly call for AlevCare.Thank you more than I can say to the entire AlevCare staff,Ed Bandy, Mansfield, Texas

AlēvCare took care of our mother during her final weeks. I can’t say enough about the group of compassionate and caring staff. The exceptional care she received daily was amazing. I could reach AlēvCare by phone 24/7. They were always available to answer questions or explain things to us. I never doubted their love for their patients. It was evident in their love for their job. Thank you AlēvCare.

The folks from AlevCare Hospice we’re so kind and caring during the final weeks of my mother’s life. I can’t thank Angela enough for the compassion and friendship she showed toward my 92-year-old mother who suffered from dementia. She helped make Mom’s transition to her eternal life so much easier on our family. I highly recommend AlevCare to anyone needing hospice care for a family member.

All though the experience of the ultimate loss of a stick and or elderly love one, plays out on a roller coaster of emotions. I have to say that working with Shannon and the other wonderful people at Alevcare hospice during that time, was a god send. Even with the rolling blackouts freezing weather her group kept me informed, updated and no matter when I called they were there for me to answer questions and address any concerns, my family’s issues too and most of all they were there for my mother.Truly a great group of people to lean on during trying times, I feel that you can really count on them.

I couldn’t have managed my mother’s end of life care without AlēvCare. Thank you for everything you did to make her comfortable & feel loved! The minute I talked to David, the owner, I felt like I made the right decision. Rhonda, their social worker, helped me find a new home for mom. Then her nurses, Kathi & Angela, were exceptional. I also know there were nurses behind the scenes that were involved in helping mom. Plus their chaplain Art visited with mom often. I highly recommend AlēvCare Hospice! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

My family was new to the hospice experience, and our experience didn't last as long as I would have liked it to..... however, the nursing staff went above and beyond to help me understand what was happening and why it was happening so fast. We had some amazing nurses.... but the ones that really got us through this storm were Lisa (night nurse), Kat and Janet. Honestly... they were angels from above. They were kind, thoughtful, compassionate and just overall amazing! I will forever be grateful to them and this uncomfortable journey that they walked us through.

Recently, a family member was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and he went downhill fast. He had no desire to enter a hospital and we had no clue what to do or where to find a reputable hospice service. Thankfully, we have a friend on the east coast that's a hospice nurse so we talked to her. After speaking with her she said he was definitely a candidate for hospice and she would do all the research to find a hospice service here in the Dallas Fort Worth area that could help us. She recommended AlevCare so we did a search and saw they only had 5 reviews at that time. Honestly speaking, I was highly hesitant to use you because of the low amount of reviews but after speaking with them on the phone and meeting the nurses it was an absolute no brainer decision.I won't mention the names but the nurses, the nurses aide, and last but not least, the social worker, they each played an integral part in taking care of the patient and the family. They made us feel like we are part of their family.When we texted ---- they responded quickly. When we called, they either answered or got back to us quickly. It didn't matter the time of day.The patient had no desire to extend his life with treatment and he made that obvious to the staff. He was very opinionated on the path of treatment but he absolutely adored each of the staff members responsible for his care.Everyone did an amazing job but we would really like to give accolades to the nurses aide that took especially great care of him and helped in the bedroom doing chores she was not asked or expected to do. She is an angel.After the patient's death, the owner called to check on us and asked how we was doing and if we we had any recommendations to make the hospice service better. Absolutely not! It's obvious you and your employees are a blessing to everyone that uses your service.On behalf of all our family we thank you from the bottom of our heart for taking such great care of us during this sad time of our lives. God bless each of you!

Thank you all for taking care of my mom, loving my dad and I through it all. I have had a rough experience with Hospice companies over the years with my mom and I am grateful I had the right one when it counted the most. The greatest present of a lifetime are those who are just present.

In the midst of the pandemic, my 92 year old mom suffered a stroke and we chose to have her come to our home with support from hospice. At the recommendation of a good friend, we chose AlevCare. They were professional, deeply caring, attentive to mom's needs, knowledgeable and responsive to our concerns and questions. Mom loved seeing the CNAs (Whitney and Jacklyn) each day and looked forward to visits from her RN, Angela. After 3 months, when mom suffered another stroke, they responded quickly and compassionately. She was on continuous care for less than 2 days and they were here to support us as mom took her last breath.I only know by hearsay what friends have experienced with other hospice agencies, but I would say AlevCare did a wonderful job in every way: before, during and after our time with mom. Thank you.

I am an advanced practice registered nurse and had the privilege of working with this group during my father's end of life. I was so impressed with their knowledge, professionalism, and compassionate care. It was truly a "better than expected" experience and as a healthcare provider, I had high expectations! Truly, they are the ideal.
