Find the Right Hospice Care in Southwest Arkansas
Southwest Arkansas is a scan of border hospital cities, not a coverage area. The hospitals families name in Texarkana are CHRISTUS St. Michael and Wadley, and those campuses sit on the Texas side of the line. Medical Center of South Arkansas is in El Dorado. A Texarkana list is not an El Dorado plan, and a Texas hospice is not automatically an Arkansas hospice. Start with the patient's city or county.
We are a free, independent resource created by healthcare professionals to help Arkansas families navigate hospice and end-of-life decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Southwest Arkansas
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Southwest Arkansas?
No. A hospital or physician can share names they work with often. You may still compare any Medicare-certified hospice that will come to the patient’s address. Calling for information does not enroll you.
Should we contact more than one hospice about Southwest Arkansas?
Yes. Compare who covers the exact address, how soon a nurse can get there, and who answers after hours. A referral is a starting point, not a requirement to use one brand.
Can hospice care be provided at home in Southwest Arkansas?
Yes. Most hospice care happens where the patient already lives — a house or apartment, or assisted living, memory care, or a nursing facility. Ask the team to confirm that specific address, not only the city or county name.
How quickly can hospice start in Southwest Arkansas?
When hospice is medically appropriate, many teams begin within about 24–48 hours, and some can start the same day when staffing allows. Ask who comes first and how a night call is handled. Then verify by phone.
Are the Texarkana hospitals in Arkansas?
The campuses families usually name, CHRISTUS St. Michael and Wadley, are in Texarkana, Texas.
Does an El Dorado team cover Texarkana?
Only if that team says yes to the address. They are not the same night drive.

Name the state of the hospital and the state of the home. In Texarkana those can differ. FindHospices.com is free for families.

- Who would come after hours, and how long that usually takes
- What happens if symptoms cannot be managed at home
- Medicare quality and family-experience information on each profile
Where hospice care happens across Southwest Arkansas
Most hospice here happens at home. Ask which bed they would use, and which state that bed is in.
Local considerations for Southwest Arkansas families
Magnolia, Hope, and Nashville are not El Dorado neighborhoods. Ask about that highway after midnight before you assume one team.
If the stay was in Texarkana, say so, and then say whether the home is in Miller County, Arkansas. The state line is the license.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Texarkana's main hospitals are on the Texas side
- Medical Center of South Arkansas is in El Dorado
- A Texas license is not an Arkansas address
- Start with the city or the county
Southwest Arkansas is a regional hub, not a coverage promise. Open the patient’s city or county before you enroll.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address. The Southwest Arkansas name alone is not a service area.
