When you think of hospice , very rarely do you associate this term with children . At this moment there are NO hospice programs in the DFW area or the United States with a free-standing facility or programs focused specifically on the needs of children . This void leaves parents and their families facing this situation with two options , admit their child to an adult hospice facility or take their child home with limited access to medical staff and care , putting the responsibility of the child ’ s care on the family .
INSPIRE
Personal experience and a passion for serving others is the driving force behind this organization . Our goal is to serve families in the Dallas / Fort Worth Area who have a child that has been referred to hospice , by keeping families together during this critical time . We will offer a free standing state of the art medical facility and equipment along with a highly trained medical staff and administration . Partnering with area hospitals , community organizations and private donations we will offer support to the entire family with private family suites at little to no cost to the family , end of life support services and grief counseling for parents , siblings and extended family , recreational activities , accredited education programs and support for transitions to home based care , if requested .
