Overview
Altus Hospice provides end-of-life hospice care focused on improving quality of life for patients with terminal illnesses, serving Texas and Georgia. Care is delivered at patients’ homes or other places they consider home—such as private residences, assisted living facilities, or hospitals—through a multidisciplinary team that includes physicians, nurses, CNAs, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers, and covers pain and symptom management, medications, equipment, and homemaker services. The company differentiates itself with a broad home-based care model, extensive caregiver support, 24/7 on-call access, respite care, bereavement support, and ACHC accreditation after being acquired by Care Hospice. Its goal is to relieve suffering and maximize comfort and quality of life for patients while supporting families through end-of-life care.
