Stage of The Journey
Dignity, Comfort, and Care
Compassionate end-of-life care, with the complete support of a qualified professional team: This is the exceptional hospice of Blue Skies of Texas. Taking our services both outside of our gates into the community at large as well as into our residents’ homes in independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care, we follow the hospice philosophy of patient choice, with an emphasis on comfort and dignity.
Hospice Care is available around the clock.
Please call 210-838-6340 if help is needed.
Treasure the Day
Every day in hospice care is a special day to treasure. We do our part, helping the individual manage pain and ensuring their comfort. And then, alongside their family and friends, we focus on the positive meaning and exceptional legacy of the individual’s life.
Maintaining accreditation through the Joint Commission National Quality Approval program, Medicare certification and an exceptionally qualified team of professionals is just the start. The higher standard we stretch to reach is the certainty that each individual in our care – and their family and friends – feel at peace with the dignity, comfort, and care we provide.

Today there are almost 500,000 caring individuals serving as hospice volunteers across the United States. Serving as valued members of the hospice care team, volunteers enhance the patient and family experience by helping meet specific needs. Volunteers give their time and compassion to patients and families dealing with end-of-life care needs as well as assisting with administrative office needs and bereavement support. Blue Skies Hospice relies on our volunteers to assist us in delivering exceptional end-of-life care.
I have lived at Blue Skies for 5 years. The entire staff continues to amaze us
with their extraordinary care, love, and support. They do this not only during
‘ordinary’ times but in this challenging time as well.
My wife and I have decided this is where we’re
planning on living when we retire. We want our children
to care about us, not have to care for us.
What do I like to do at Blue Skies?
How long do you have to listen?
Living at Blue Skies of Texas West for seven years has been a great experience.
The administration, the staff, and the residents create a dynamic atmosphere that
would be hard to beat. I call it ‘my little place just this side of Heaven!’
It’s kind of crazy, but you always hear retired people say
they’re busier in retirement than when they were working,
and it really turned out to be true!
We moved in and it was like, ‘Whoa!
This is where we belong. Everything’s here.’
We moved here to find the best of both worlds! Moving here while
still able to live independently, we have taken the hard task of
providing future care decisions as we age, off our children’s plate.
Our first reaction was that this looked like home.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Hospice
Hospice brings dignity to the end of life, creating a place that honors the individual and their family and friends. To do so, we keep medical professionals and services close at hand, ensuring the patient is comfortable and free of pain and suffering. Professionals include physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains and home care providers.
End-of-life decisions are as difficult as any that loved ones can make. Conversations with medical professionals, clergy, family and friends, other counseling professionals – these are all frequently part of this journey of decision-making. Most importantly, the person nearing the end of life is involved as much as possible in determining their own destiny.
Blue Skies Hospice extends well beyond our gates and into the greater community at large. Our compassionate and experienced team ensure that you and your family benefit the best care possible, whether you have lived in our community for years or elsewhere.
