Does going on hospice mean giving up?
Choosing Silverado hospice was best decision I made for my mother. Sweta, Brenda and Angela were above and beyond supporting us in the last two days of my mom’s life.
Silverado Hospice was exactly what our family (Mom) needed that last year. Mom was kept pain free and comfortable every step of her final days. Noteworthy was each person’s individual responsiveness to me and my husband in giving input for my mom every step of the way.
From my first phone call to them, to their last check-in with me, all of our experiences with Silverado staff were exceptional. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are caring, generous, responsive, empathetic, sympathetic, compassionate, and knowledgeable.
This team is so compassionate and hands on. They explained to us what was going to take place from the beginning until the very end. Not once did I have an issue. My mother is resting in Heaven very peacefully thanks to you wonderful individuals.
No one wants to use hospice and certainly not think about having your loved one going through this but they made a sad experience pleasant if that makes sense.
For anyone looking for a first class hospice experience for a loved one, Silverado Hospice of South Houston should be at the top of your list. Thank you, Silverado, for a wonderful first experience with hospice for my family.

It is Time For Hospice?
License #013822, Medicare ID #671600
Why choose Silverado Hospice for my loved one?
The creation of Silverado Hospice was inspired when our nurses saw an unfilled need for end of life care that truly addressed all possible needs of the mind, body and spirit. In 2004 this inspiration became a reality and Silverado began using our unique and innovative approach to provide hospice care.
What we believe
We believe that understanding and taking to heart all aspects of an individual — their needs, interests, beliefs, personality, etc. — is the only way to truly achieve the high levels of care that are our goal.
Unmatched clinical excellence
Silverado Hospice’s clinical practices are second to none, offering unique features such as a dedicated physician medical director to oversee care, specialized teams with experience in specific diseases and more.
It all starts with compassion
From our philosophy of personalizing care for each unique patient to our care practices and associate hiring and training, there is only one goal – to make the last days of life as comfortable and dignified as possible.
