Our family was supported and cared for when my Mother was taken to the Dornburg Center in her final days. The compassionate and competent care she received from the very knowledgeable staff of doctors and nurses was truly a blessing for the family. The staff was so very helpful in getting the expenses covered by Medicare. We can see why Hospice of South Texas is the only non-profit CMS 5-Star facility in this region. Truly a God-centered facility.

My mom was a patient at the inpatient center, she passed in September of 2024. Her passing was peaceful and beautiful. The staff was supportive, compassionate and loving. My family and I will always be grateful to Hospice of South Texas for the care they provided.

Hospice of South Texas was a godsend. They took such great care of my grandparents, right at home. With nurses checking in, pain kept under control, a chaplain to talk to, and someone always a phone call away. They even gave us breaks when we needed them and helped us through the grief after. I’m so thankful they let my grandparents live their last days with dignity. I’d trust them with anyone I love.
