CARE CENTER
While the majority of hospice care is provided in private homes and long-term care facilities, there are times when hospice patients may need short-term medical care for symptom management. Once the patient is stable, they will return to their home/facility home.
The Hospice of Texarkana Inpatient Care Center is a state-of-the-art, 12-bed inpatient facility that is designed to meet the needs of our patients, as well as those of visiting family members and friends.

The Hospice of Texarkana Care Center Provides Intensive Hospice Care and Assistance for Caregivers
The focus of Hospice physicians and nurses is always comfort. Our goal for patients is to remain at home (house or facility home); however, sometimes the seriously ill need more Intensive Comfort Care. That's the best way to describe the Hospice of Texarkana Care Center - an ICU for our hospice patients who will be see by a physician each day.
