What makes Beacon Hospice special?

Beacon Hospice isn't the only choice for families seeking hospice services. There are a number of fine organizations offering this type of care. However, we believe that we offer a number of unique benefits to our patients, their caregivers and families.

So, what makes us different?
We offer these thoughts for your consideration.

Our Experience and Care

We only use highly experienced Nurses as case managers in every phase of our hospice care services. Also consider that our social workers, chaplains and Certified Nurse Aides are also highly experienced in hospice environments.

Community

We serve the Northeast Texas counties of Camp, Cass, Gregg, Harrison, Henderson, Hopkins, Marion, Morris, Panola, Rains, Rusk, Smith, Titus, Upshur, Van Zandt and Wood.
We have a unique knowledge and understanding of your community environment and the local support and service agencies that are available to assist you.

Stability

Beacon Hospice is a family of professionals who are passionate believers in the hospice concept. The caring, experienced professionals who join our team stay over the long term and add their experience to the rich pool of talent and skills we make available to our patients and their families.

Diversity

Beacon Hospice utilizes a broad spectrum of specialists, including physicians and nurses specially trained in hospice care. With such diversity of experiences, we are better able to make sure our patients get the very best in palliative care and symptom management.

Intimacy

Beacon Hospice strives to provide levels of personal care that exceed industry averages in practically every category. For example, in most cases, our patient visits by nurses, certified nurse aides, social workers, volunteers and chaplains are more frequent than national or state averages.

Translation: Our patients get more attention, better care and thus, a better chance at a higher quality of life. You may find that many of our hospice team members almost become part of your family, just as you become part of ours.

Flexibility

Beacon Hospice has a "flat" organizational structure. In other words, there aren't multiple layers of bureaucracy standing between the patient, the family, the caregivers and our company executive managers. That means we can be responsive, adaptive and creative in meeting the patiens unique needs. It also means that you shouldn't be surprised when our administrator calls to see how things are going.

Perhaps the greatest strength of our company lies in the fact that we have a passionate belief in the hospice concept and the benefits it provides to our clients. Each of our staff members has been intimately involved with hospice care for many years. Each has been privileged to share first hand the unique lessons, life experiences and gifts that hospice brings to its patients and their families.

The true value of Beacon Hospice and our services is determined by our ability to provide:

    Compassion, comfort and support to our patients, their caregivers and families
    An environment that recognizes and supports the patient's right to live with dignity and make the decisions that affect his/her life
    An environment that aggressively promotes the patient's ability to live his/her life fully with the highest possible quality of life, regardless of diagnosis or prognosis
    Professionalism, integrity and excellence in all aspects of our organization
