Ave Maria Hospice Inc

What Ave Maria Hospice Inc does

Ave Maria Hospice Inc is a private, independent hospice provider headquartered in Fredericksburg, Texas, delivering comfort care to terminally ill patients across the Texas Hill Country region. The organization serves individuals with a medical prognosis of six months or less to live, offering an integrated program that includes physician oversight led by Medical Director Dr. Rebecca Daley, D.O., specialized nursing with 24-hour consultation availability, hospice aide services for personal care, social work support, and chaplain/spiritual counseling. Care is delivered in the patient's place of residence — private homes, assisted living facilities, or nursing homes — and all services, including hospice-diagnosis related medications and durable medical equipment, are 100% covered by Medicare, with the company handling all billing and paperwork directly with the payer.

The company employs approximately 14 staff and operates on a community-led go-to-market model anchored by healthcare provider referrals, word-of-mouth from families and caregivers, and direct community inquiries. Distinctive service attributes include bilingual capability in Spanish (with Spanish-fluent social workers, medical staff, and chaplains serving the regional Hispanic population) and inclusive spiritual care spanning Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Catholic, Baptist, Episcopal, and non-denominational faiths. There is no proprietary technology platform, no digital product surface, no API, no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, and no mobile application; the business is a human-delivered clinical service operation supported by a basic Squarespace marketing website.

Financially, the company is structured as a Texas-incorporated for-profit corporation with no parent company, no institutional or venture funding, no acquisitions, and no partnerships disclosed. No certifications, awards, patents, or regulatory actions are documented. Revenue is derived entirely from Medicare Hospice Benefit reimbursement under a managed-services model, and no pricing is publicly disclosed. The company maintains two Fredericksburg offices (904 N. Llano St. and 204 S. Adams St. #A) and lists Lucille Jung as the primary operational contact.
