Find the Right Hospice Care in Houma, Louisiana
About 14 hospices currently serve Houma. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Finding hospice care in Houma often begins after Terrebonne General Medical Center in Houma. Names you hear on the hospital floor are a useful starting list for your calls — not the only hospice you can choose. Highway 24, Highway 311, and the bayou roads south toward Chauvin, Dulac, and Cocodrie are very different nights. Thibodaux is in Lafourche Parish up Highway 20, and a Houma office is not automatically a Thibodaux team. Use this page to compare Medicare-certified hospices that report serving Houma, then confirm the neighborhood. If the home is in Thibodaux or another Lafourche Parish community, start there instead of assuming every Houma listing fits.
We are a free, independent resource created by healthcare professionals to help Louisiana families navigate hospice and end-of-life decisions.

Placements are limited and selective — we review applications and only accept organizations that meet our standards for this section. Listings are paid advertising, not recommendations or endorsements. Families review the information and choose professionals for themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Houma
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Houma?
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 Houma?
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 Houma?
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 Houma?
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.
Does a Houma hospice cover the end of Bayou Little Caillou?
Do not assume so. Ask whether a nurse is based close enough to reach that address after dark, and how long the drive takes.
Is Thibodaux part of the Houma list?
No. Thibodaux is in Lafourche Parish. Ask whether the team covers that address and how a night visit works.
Hospice Care in Houma
Finding hospice care in Houma
A name from Terrebonne General Medical Center in Houma is a phone call, not an assigned hospice. FindHospices.com is free for families.
What to compare
When you call, ask about:
- Whether the team covers the exact address, not only the city or parish name
- 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 in Houma
Most hospice in Houma happens at home or in a care facility. A short inpatient stay is for symptoms that cannot be managed in the house. Ask which bed they would use, and how far a nurse drives at night.
Local considerations for Houma families
Terrebonne Parish is long and narrow, and the end of a bayou road can be an hour from the hospital. Ask where the nurse lives, whether the team has staff along the bayou, and what happens when a drawbridge is up at night.
A discharge from Terrebonne General often goes home to Gray, Bourg, Montegut, or a camp along the water. Say the street and the parish when you call. A Houma plan is not a Lafourche plan.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Terrebonne General Medical Center is in Houma
- Chauvin, Dulac, and Cocodrie are long night drives
- Thibodaux is Lafourche Parish and has its own page
- Ask about Highway 24 and bayou bridges after midnight
This page is focused on Houma itself. Nearby cities and Terrebonne Parish can help if your family is looking across more than one community.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Terrebonne Parish, Acadiana and Southwest Louisiana.
