01 —Serving Whitehouse
Built for Whitehouse families.
Whitehouse has grown from a quiet farming community into one of Tyler's most established bedroom communities — known for its schools, its tight-knit neighborhoods, and families who chose it for the slower pace just minutes from the city. Many are caring for aging parents who moved to be near their children. Azalea Hospice serves Whitehouse families wherever their loved one lives — a private home, an assisted-living community, or a skilled-nursing facility — with a nurse on call around the clock and the whole hospice team close by.
Whitehouse is part of our Smith County service area. For the full Tyler-area hub, see Hospice Care in Tyler, TX →

03 —Common Questions
What Whitehouse families ask first.
Do you serve assisted-living and nursing facilities in Whitehouse?
Yes. Hospice care comes to wherever your loved one lives in Whitehouse — a private home, a skilled-nursing or long-term-care facility, or an assisted-living and memory-care community. We coordinate directly with facility staff so nothing falls through the cracks.
How fast can hospice start for a Whitehouse family?
From the time of a referral, most patients are admitted within 24 to 48 hours. Whitehouse is minutes from Tyler, so same-day evaluations are routine, and our 24/7 line is answered by a real nurse.
Does my parent have to give up their Tyler doctor?
No. The patient's attending physician stays involved. Our medical director works in coordination with the existing care team and the Tyler hospital that discharged them.
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.
