I can't say enough wonderful things about Hospice of East Texas...my father was put in hospice during the final days on this earth and God opened the door for him to be placed in this facility. The staff was so caring and took such good care of him. If your loved one is placed in this facility, you and your family are extremely blessed and we thank God every day that he spent his last days in such good care, comfortable and at peace 🕊️
It was a great experience in a bad situation. They were so full of compassion and had a tremendous sense of duty to make the passing of my mother as calm and dignified as possible. If recommending a hospice center is in order, I'll encourage you to look into this facility.
My brother was there in September. Everyone there was an Angel sent from heaven by GOD. They were so wonderful to my brother and my family during a much difficult time. The accommodations , the love, the care, they were all remarkable 💕. I heard it was a wonderful place, but to experience it for myself, I know it was a true blessing. Thank You..Thank You ...Thank You.
