01 —Serving Longview
Built for Longview families.
Longview is the commercial and medical center of Gregg County and the western anchor of the Ark-La-Tex — a community shaped by the oil-and-gas era, with neighborhoods like Spring Hill, Pine Tree, and Hallsville that families have called home for generations. When a serious illness reaches the point where comfort matters more than another procedure, Longview families deserve a hospice that knows the area's hospitals and shows up at the house — not one routing calls to a regional office. Azalea Hospice serves Longview with our full team: nurse, aide, chaplain, social worker, and a 24/7 line that a real nurse answers.
Longview is part of our Gregg County service area. For the full Tyler-area hub, see Hospice Care in Tyler, TX →

03 —Common Questions
What Longview families ask first.
Which Longview hospitals do you coordinate discharges with?
We coordinate discharges with CHRISTUS Good Shepherd Medical Center and Longview Regional Medical Center — the two hospitals most Gregg County families use. Our team handles the paperwork, talks to the case manager, and makes sure the transition home is calm rather than chaotic.
Longview is 65 miles from Tyler — can you really cover us around the clock?
Yes. Azalea maintains on-call nursing coverage in Gregg County 24/7, with response times that reflect the local geography. We are not a Tyler-only agency that calls Longview a 'service area' on paper — we drive these roads.
Do you serve the smaller Gregg County communities, too?
Yes — Kilgore, White Oak, Gladewater, Hallsville, and the rest of Gregg County. Adding a town to a hospice's website is one thing; actually getting a nurse out to a Kilgore home at 2 a.m. is another, and that's what we promise.
How much does hospice cost?
For Medicare and Medicaid patients, hospice is 100% covered — nursing, medications related to the terminal illness, equipment, aide visits, chaplaincy, social work, and 13 months of bereavement support. There is typically no cost to the family. Most private plans mirror the Medicare benefit; we verify your specific coverage before anything starts.
