Private home
Most of our work happens in a house or apartment the family already knows. The living room stays the living room.
Compassion. Comfort. Peace.
Guiding families with compassion and grace.
At Shoreline Hospice Care, every patient is treated with dignity and respect. We are nurse-owned and ACHC accredited. Care is given in the home, across Dallas, Fort Worth, and the North Texas communities around them. A nurse is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
ACHC accredited
National quality standards, independently reviewed.
Care at home
Private residences, assisted living, and nursing facilities.
24/7 care
A hospice nurse answers whenever symptoms change, day or night.
How care starts
Hospice is not a place. It is a team that comes to you.
01
Anyone can ask
A daughter, a physician, or a case manager can request an evaluation. You do not need every document in hand. If it is after hours, a nurse is still on the line.
02
We come to the home
If hospice is appropriate, a nurse visits, reviews medications, and writes a plan with you. You do not come to an office. We come to you.
03
Care stays with you
Nursing, aides, equipment, and a 24/7 line remain in place for as long as the patient is eligible. The team does not disappear after the first visit.
Compassion. Comfort. Peace.
Dedicated to bringing comfort, peace, and compassion to Dallas families,
transforming every moment into a cherished memory.
Nurse founded
Hospital-trained. Family-run. Close enough to arrive.
Shoreline was started by nurses who had worked intensive care in large North Texas hospitals. They saw how often families needed comfort, not another corridor. We stayed small on purpose, so when you call from Garland, Rockwall, or Fort Worth, someone who knows the streets answers.
We come to you, across the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex and the North Texas communities around it.
Our story
What we bring to the home
Supporting your family, every step of the way.
Expert medical care & pain management
A nurse manages pain, breathlessness, nausea, and agitation in the home. The goal is comfort that lets a person rest, not another trip to the hospital.
Personal care
Hospice aides help with bathing, dressing, and the quiet work of dignity, on a schedule written around the family, not the other way around.
Emotional & spiritual support
A social worker and chaplain sit with the patient and the people who love them. Every belief is respected. None is required.
Family education & support
We teach what to expect, how to use medications, and who to call. Families should not have to guess in the middle of the night.
Medications, equipment & supplies
Comfort medications, a hospital bed, oxygen, and related supplies are arranged for the home. Related to the terminal diagnosis, they are typically covered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit.
Bereavement services
Support continues after a death, including counseling for up to a year and help with funeral questions. Grief does not keep office hours. Neither do we.
Where care happens
Wherever your loved one already lives.
Assisted living
We coordinate with the community so hospice extra support arrives without moving your person to a new place.
Nursing facility
When a skilled nursing facility is already home, we bring the hospice plan there, working alongside the staff who know the patient.
Conditions we commonly support
- Cancer
- Heart disease
- Dementia & Alzheimer’s
- COPD & lung disease
- Stroke
- Kidney or liver failure
- ALS & Parkinson’s
- Failure to thrive
Four levels of hospice care
Routine home hospice care
The most common level. Nurses, aides, and the rest of the team visit the home on a regular schedule, with a nurse always on call.
Continuous home hospice care
Short periods of mostly nursing care in the home when symptoms are in crisis and need hour-by-hour attention.
Inpatient hospice care
When symptoms cannot be managed at home, we arrange a short inpatient stay for comfort, then return home when it is safe.
Respite care
A short inpatient stay so the primary caregiver can rest. The patient returns home afterward.
Families we have sat with
“Thank God my father was introduced to this company. The head nurse is a genuine, caring person, an angel in disguise. The entire team was phenomenal. Thank you again for being there for my family.”
“The nurse was everything my mom needed. Kind, compassionate, and very understanding. If anyone asks me for a hospice referral, I will be referring Shoreline.”
“These people handle everything with love, patience, and understanding. I highly recommend their services as transition begins.”
Questions families ask before they call
Where do you provide hospice care?
We serve families across North Texas, including Dallas, Collin, Tarrant, Denton, Ellis, Rockwall, Kaufman, Hunt, Johnson, Navarro, Grayson, Parker, Cooke, Erath, Fannin, Hood, Palo Pinto, Somervell, Wise counties.

Who is eligible for hospice?
Hospice is available for patients with a terminal illness and a life expectancy of six months or less, as certified by a physician if the disease runs its normal course. Patients may continue receiving hospice care as long as they remain eligible.
Does Medicare cover hospice?
The Medicare Hospice Benefit covers services related to the terminal diagnosis, including medications, medical equipment, and supplies for comfort and symptom management. Hospice care is typically provided with little to no out-of-pocket cost to the patient or family. We verify benefits before care begins.
Can a family request hospice, or does it have to be a doctor?
Anyone can ask us for an evaluation. A physician still certifies that hospice is appropriate. We will help you have that conversation, you do not have to wait for a hospital discharge to call.
Can we keep our own doctor?
Yes. Your physician can remain involved. Our hospice medical director collaborates with them on the plan of care.
Do you come to assisted living or a nursing home?
Yes. We meet people where they live: a house, apartment, assisted living community, or nursing facility in the counties we serve.
What should I do in an emergency?
If there is an immediate threat to life (fire, collapse, or uncontrolled bleeding), call 911. For hospice-related symptoms, call our 24/7 nurse line first. We answer day and night, including weekends and holidays.
You do not have to wait for a crisis.
If a physician has mentioned hospice, or you are simply unsure , call. We will tell you honestly whether we can help.
