About Hospice Care

Locally owned, RN-operated, and serving all of Southeast Texas — Orange, Beaumont, Port Arthur, and beyond. In-home hospice, residential care, and General Inpatient (GIP) services, all covered by Medicare.

Who We Are

The Stonewood Difference in Care

Stonewood Hospice is proudly owned and operated by a Registered Nurse — a distinction that sets us apart from the moment you call. Our leadership is clinically grounded, and that commitment to excellence flows through every member of our interdisciplinary team across all of Southeast Texas.

We provide hospice care wherever your loved one calls home — private residences, nursing home facilities, senior living facilities, and assisted living communities throughout Orange, Beaumont, Port Arthur, Lumberton, Vidor, Nederland, and surrounding areas. We also operate our own Residential Hospice Unit in Orange and a General Inpatient (GIP) Care Unit in Port Arthur for patients who need a higher level of around-the-clock symptom management.

We believe hospice is not about giving up — it's about choosing quality of life. It would be our honor to evaluate your loved one's eligibility and walk alongside your family every step of the way.

What Makes Stonewood Different

RN-Owned & Operated

Stonewood Hospice is owned and operated by a licensed, wound care certified Registered Nurse — meaning clinical excellence is built into our leadership from day one.

Interdisciplinary Team

Your loved one is supported by a full team: physicians, nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains, and therapists — all working together around one goal.

Locally Owned

We are not a corporate chain. We are a locally owned Southeast Texas organization with deep roots in the communities we serve.

24/7 On-Call Nursing

Our nurses are available around the clock — day, night, weekends, and holidays — because a medical need doesn't follow a 9-to-5 schedule.

Dignity & Comfort First

Every decision we make is guided by one question: what is best for the patient? Comfort, dignity, and peace are never negotiable.

Local Experts You Know & Trust

We are your neighbors. Our team lives and works right here in Southeast Texas — deeply involved in the communities we serve, from local events to charitable partnerships. When you call Stonewood, you're calling someone who truly knows this community.

Coverage & Cost

Who Pays for Hospice?

Medicare covers hospice care as a full benefit for patients with a life-limiting illness — at little to no out-of-pocket cost to the patient or family. Most private health insurance plans and Medicaid offer the same coverage.

The Medicare Hospice Benefit covers skilled nursing visits, physician oversight, aide services, social work, chaplain care, therapy services, medications related to the terminal diagnosis, and all necessary medical equipment — delivered directly to wherever the patient calls home.

Our team will walk you through the eligibility and enrollment process at no charge. We believe financial concerns should never stand between a patient and the care they deserve.

Not sure if your loved one qualifies? Call us — we'll evaluate eligibility at no cost and with no obligation.
