Find the Right Hospice Care in Bossier Parish
About 18 hospices currently serve Bossier Parish, including 1 nonprofit and 1 with a dedicated inpatient facility. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Bossier Parish is wider than Bossier City. Families often leave Willis-Knighton Bossier Health Center in Bossier City, or a Shreveport campus across the Red River, then go home to Haughton, Benton, or Plain Dealing. Shreveport is Caddo Parish across the river. I-20 and I-220 cross the parish. Use this parish page for Benton and every other community in Bossier Parish, or when someone may leave a hospital for a home in a different town. Ask which team would send the first nurse to that street after the discharge desk closes. A Shreveport team is not automatically a Bossier Parish team.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Bossier Parish
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Bossier Parish?
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 Bossier Parish?
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 Bossier Parish?
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 Bossier Parish?
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.
Is Bossier Parish part of Shreveport?
No. Bossier Parish is across the Red River. Ask whether a Shreveport team would send a nurse to that street after dark.
Is Benton the same list as Bossier City?
Benton is a separate town and the parish seat. Ask about the exact address.
