About Serenity Hospice

Texas-owned, not a national chain.

Neighbors, not a national call center. Care comes to wherever you call home.

We help patients and families spend remaining time with comfort, dignity, and privacy from our office in Bastrop.

For families

A hospice visit is a conversation, not a commitment.

  • We come to home, assisted living, nursing home, or memory care
  • You can keep your own doctor
  • Most Medicare/Medicaid hospice care is $0 for the family
  • First visit is an evaluation, not an enrollment

“My husband is with Serenity Hospice. He has dementia and is currently in a memory care facility. They have been wonderful. They not only care for my spouse but also are there for me. I could not walk this terrible path without their support.”
