Hope Hospice

What Hope Hospice does

Hope Hospice is a non-profit, community-based hospice care provider founded in 1984 and headquartered in New Braunfels, Texas, serving the Texas Hill Country region. The organization delivers end-of-life clinical care, pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, and bereavement services to patients diagnosed with terminal or life-limiting conditions, with services delivered directly in patients' homes, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes across its regional service area. It operates two physical locations — its New Braunfels headquarters at 611 N Walnut Avenue and a Bulverde satellite operating under the DBA "Hope Hospice of the Hill Country" at 29710 US HWY 281, Suite 200 — and also runs a community grief center and a thrift shop for fundraising.

The service portfolio is grouped into four core offerings: hospice services, community grief services, the thrift shop retail operation, and educational support including a comfort kit instructions program and an online Volunteer Training Portal. Supplemental programs include a dedicated Honor Guard service for military veterans, the Honors Veterans Memorial Plaza commemorative-brick initiative, and Medicare/Medicaid/private-insurance reimbursement guidance for referring providers. Distribution is direct-to-patient within the regional service area, with patient acquisition driven primarily through a dedicated Healthcare Professionals portal that supports physician and nurse referrals, eligibility verification, and reimbursement workflows.

Hope Hospice is funded through a mix of Medicare, Medicaid, and private-insurance reimbursement for clinical hospice services; philanthropic donations channeled via an annual golf tournament and brick-purchase fundraising; volunteer contributions; and revenue from its thrift shop. Marketing and outreach rely on educational web content, an organic social presence across Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, community events, and a structured healthcare-professional referral channel. The organization is independently governed, privately held, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entity, acquisitions, or active M&A activity.
