Ask about palliative care

Many hospice and home health agencies also offer palliative care. The state license list does not say which. A name that includes the word “palliative” is not a confirmation. Please call and ask.

You might start with these questions:

Do you offer palliative care, or only hospice or home health?
Can someone receive palliative care at home and still get treatment meant to cure or control their illness?
Who is on the team, and how do we reach you after hours?
What insurance do you accept, including Medicare?
Which areas do you actually serve? The county on this page is only the address on the license, not a service area.

See a longer, printable list of questions.

How to report a concern

If you have a concern about care from a Texas-licensed home health or hospice agency, you can contact HHSC Complaint and Incident Intake at 800-458-9858. You can also use the TULIP provider search, which is the public door to the state’s complaint process.

To report abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a child, an older adult, or an adult with a disability, use the Texas Abuse Hotline at 800-252-5400or txabusehotline.org(Texas Department of Family and Protective Services). In an emergency, call 911.
