Care that Makes a Difference
DHCHD offers hospice services to Dallam and Hartley counties. Hospice services can help patients and family members by providing nursing care as well as emotional support. Hospice services include:
- Pain management
- Medication management
- Social services and spiritual counseling
Our hospice program also provides needed medication, medical equipment, and medical supplies. We also offer bereavement counseling and supportive counseling for survivors after the death of a loved one.
In most cases, Medicare and Medicaid will cover all costs associated with hospice services. Most commercial insurance will also cover this care.
Hospice is located inside of Coon Memorial Nursing Home at 210 E Texas Blvd. Please contact us at (806) 244-8738 to learn more about our services.
