Hospice Service

Hospice care is a unique type of care created to provide comfort, support, and compassion to patients and their family members in situations where the patient is faced with a terminal illness. Hospice care is focused on patients’ comfort, not the cure and that’s what makes it unique. Hospice care at Trinity Home and Health Care from Tarrant County, Texas is focused on making the patient comfortable in what might be their last days or weeks.
