Hospice: The Bluebonnet Approach 

By: George Fettinger, CEO 

Generally speaking, the purpose of all hospice agencies is similar. Hospice agencies provide the special attention needed by patients in the late stages of a terminal illness. This makes choosing the right hospice provider a significant challenge for families. Bluebonnet Hospice goals are to improve the quality of life for the patient and to support his or her loved ones.  

What separates Bluebonnet from other agencies are the principles upon which Bluebonnet was founded. Bluebonnet is family owned and operated company with a commitment to treating patients like family. Since 1999, when Bluebonnet was established, it has required all of its personnel to share and practice the same principles as its owners. Those practices include providing exceptional patient care, exceeding expectations, and trust and commitment. 

Providing exceptional patient care

At Bluebonnet, we live and breathe exceptional patient care. Bluebonnet’s care is not governed by the clock, but rather defined by the patient’s and family’s needs. Whether the visit is half an hour or 24 hours, Bluebonnet’s staff is committed to provide exceptional care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

Exceeding Expectations

Bluebonnet’s goal is to exceed the expectations of the patient and everyone involved in that patient’s life. It is our goal to provide excellence in all areas of care including but not limited to keeping the patient comfortable and pain free, consulting and counseling with all family members, assisting in the bereavement process, and working side by side with skilled nursing facilities and assisted living to ensure exceptional patient care. 

Trust and Commitment

Bluebonnet’s staff understands our word is our bond. When we make a commitment, we follow through. Whether it is a scheduled visit, a social work consult, or community involvement, Bluebonnet makes a commitment to our families. 

Choosing hospice for a loved one is a tough decision. Bluebonnet Hospice works with the family to make this transition as painless as possible through our core principles. To ensure you are presented with Bluebonnet Hospice as an option, request a referral for our services through your physician.
