At Area Community Hospice, we believe that every moment matters.  We vow to care for you and your family just like we would our own.

    Area Community Hospice is Plainview's only locally owned and operated hospice program serving 7 counties, including Hale, Briscoe, Swisher, Floyd , Lubbock, Lamb and Castro.   With over 30 years of combined hospice experience. 

    Area Community Hospice, provides palliative (comfort) care for individuals faced with a serious illness when curative treatment is no longer the patient's choice or option.  Hospice care is provided in the patient's home or a home-like setting such as a nursing home or assisted living facility.

    The best time to learn about hospice is before you need it. At any time during a life-threatening illness, it is appropriate to discuss all of a patient's healthcare options, including hospice care.
