At Hospice of Natchitoches, our goal is to promote dignity and comfort care for those facing a life limiting illness from disease, while simultaneously supporting family and loved ones coping with end-of-life realities. Understanding the basics of hospice care, what questions you should ask, and what to expect are a great place to start when trying to select a hospice care provider.

Treating your family, like ours.

Family members strive to be knowledgeable and strong when terminal illness touches a relative. We bridge that knowledge gap to get loved ones to a place of understanding and then provide them with the emotional and spiritual support to make informed medical and practical decisions with confidence.
