Hospice Brazos Valley. I cannot say enough good things about them when they cared for my stepfather when he was battling pancreatic cancer. I believe they are the only non-profit hospice care organization in the area.

Over the last 15 years, I have three occasions in which I have had to deal with Hospice BV. All I can say is "AMAZING"!!!! They were all the most caring, selfless, giving, and compassionate group of people I have ever dealt with.

Have used both BV Hospice and Traditions Hospice. Traditions most recently and they were awesome.

Thank you for responses. PM and email have been sent.

This is one of those situations we are uncertain even of what the correct questions to ask are.

Any guidance or insights will be appreciated. Off line communication is great, too. My email address is in my profile.

Hospice care is an amazing way to facilitate end of life care. These are never easy times, and every situation is different, but suffice to say the folks who work in this area are gifted, compassionate and called to be exactly where they are.

God bless - and I pray that your situation goes as well as can be expected.

We used Compassionate Care Hospice and they were wonderful. They came quickly (which was good because we waited too long to call). They held my hand and treated my mother like a person even though she was very far gone. They talked to her, sang with her, prayed with her. I have not been close to other hospices I have seen in action. But this group was wonderful.
