Houston Hospice and In-home Health Care

A patient and his or her family are the only ones with the right to determine which hospice best meets their needs.

The Patient Self Determination Act of 1990 ensures that you get to make all the decisions regarding your healthcare. No other else should or can make decide for you. It’s vital that you maintain control of your health care decisions. You should only make a decision after you’ve seen all options. Don’t rush to make these decisions or let someone coerce you. No
