From Houston to Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley, our hospice nurses come to your home and our live-in carers stay by your loved one's side.
Prime Choice Hospice & Palliative Care is a Houston-based hospice that provides in-home hospice care throughout Texas. Our own hospice nurses travel to patients' homes on a schedule set by the care plan. A live-in carer can stay in the home between visits, and a nurse is on call 24/7. For eligible patients, Medicare and Texas Medicaid cover hospice the same way everywhere in the state.
Prime Choice registered nurses travel to your home to assess symptoms, adjust medications and teach your family, on the schedule in your care plan.
A carer who stays in the home helps with bathing, meals, repositioning and companionship, and alerts our nurse to any change.
Day or night, one call to 832-622-6418 reaches a hospice nurse who knows your loved one's plan.
Our hospice physician directs the plan of care with your loved one's own doctor, and arranges medications and equipment for the home.

The Medicare hospice benefit is federal, so coverage is the same in every Texas county. For the terminal illness it covers nurse visits, physician oversight, hospice aide visits, social work and chaplain support, comfort medications, a hospital bed, oxygen and other equipment and supplies. The only possible costs are up to $5 per prescription and 5% of the cost of inpatient respite care. Texas Medicaid covers hospice through the HHSC Medicaid Hospice Program, and most private insurance and VA plans include a hospice benefit.
