Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Finding hospice care in Shreveport often begins after Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport or one of the Willis-Knighton campuses in Shreveport. Names you hear on the hospital floor are a useful starting list for your calls — not the only hospice you can choose. Highland, Youree Drive, Broadmoor, and the streets near Kings Highway are one city and several different night drives, and I-20 and I-49 change how long a visit takes after midnight. Bossier City sits across the Red River in Bossier Parish and has its own page, so do not assume a Shreveport team crosses the bridge. Use this page to compare Medicare-certified hospices that report serving Shreveport, then confirm the neighborhood. Caddo Parish is the wider list when the city on the envelope is unclear.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Shreveport
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Shreveport?
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 Shreveport?
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 Shreveport?
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 Shreveport?
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 Shreveport hospice automatically cover Bossier City?
Do not assume so. Bossier City is in Bossier Parish across the Red River. Ask whether the team will send a nurse to that exact street after midnight.
Are the Willis-Knighton campuses all in Shreveport?
The Willis-Knighton campuses families name in Shreveport are in Shreveport. The Bossier campus is in Bossier City, across the river.
Hospice Care in Shreveport
Finding hospice care in Shreveport
Finding hospice care in Shreveport usually starts after Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport or a Willis-Knighton campus in Shreveport. Those names are a starting list for your calls, not the only hospice you can choose. Highland, Youree Drive, and Broadmoor are different night drives, and I-20 and I-49 change how long a nurse takes after midnight. Use this page to compare Medicare-certified hospices that report serving Shreveport. If the home is in Bossier City, open that page — it is another parish across the Red River. 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 Shreveport
Most hospice in Shreveport happens at home or in a care facility off Youree Drive or Line Avenue. A short inpatient stay is for symptoms that cannot be managed in the house. Ask which bed they would use from that part of Caddo Parish, and who answers the phone when pain breaks through at night.
Local considerations for Shreveport families
Highland, the area along Youree Drive, Broadmoor, and the neighborhoods near Kings Highway are one city and different night drives. I-20, I-49, and the Red River change how long a nurse takes after dark. Ask whether the person who would walk through the door is based in Shreveport or driving in from another parish.
Bossier City sits across the Red River in Bossier Parish and has its own page. A team that visits a Highland house may not send a nurse to a Bossier City street. Say the city and the parish on the deed when you call.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Highland, Youree Drive, and Broadmoor are different night drives
- Bossier City is across the Red River in Bossier Parish
- I-20 and I-49 change a late visit
- Caddo Parish covers more than the city on the envelope

Where to start
