Find the Right Hospice Care in Caddo Parish
About 18 hospices currently serve Caddo 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. Caddo Parish is wider than Shreveport. Families often leave Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport or a Willis-Knighton campus in Shreveport, then go home to Blanchard, Oil City, or Greenwood. Bossier City is Bossier Parish across the Red River. I-20 and I-49 cross here. Use the Shreveport page when the home is inside that city. Use this parish page when the address is another community in Caddo Parish, or when someone may leave a hospital for a home that is not in that city. Ask which team would send the first nurse to that street after the discharge desk closes. A Shreveport team is not automatically a rural Caddo Parish team.
We are a free, independent resource created by healthcare professionals to help Louisiana families navigate hospice and end-of-life decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Caddo Parish
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Caddo 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 Caddo 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 Caddo 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 Caddo 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 Caddo Parish the same as Shreveport?
No. Shreveport is the seat, but the parish includes smaller towns and rural roads. Ask about the exact address.
Does a Caddo Parish team cover Bossier City?
Not automatically. Bossier City is in Bossier Parish, across the Red River.
Hospice Care in Caddo Parish
Finding hospice care in Caddo Parish
A name from a Shreveport hospital is a starting list for that campus city, not for every road in Caddo Parish. FindHospices.com is free for families.
What families often compare across the county
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 Caddo Parish
Most hospice in Caddo Parish 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 Caddo Parish families
Caddo Parish is mostly Shreveport and a long list of smaller communities. A Blanchard or Mooringsport address is a different night from Highland, and the Red River splits the metro.
Ask whether the nurse leaves from Shreveport or from a small office near the line. Say the parish when you call, because Bossier City sits across the river and is Bossier Parish.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Shreveport has its own page
- Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport and Willis-Knighton campuses are in Shreveport
- Bossier City is across the river in Bossier Parish
- Blanchard and Oil City are long night drives
This page is the county-wide list for Caddo Parish. Use a city page when you already know the community, or North Louisiana only to scan the wider region.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Shreveport, North Louisiana.
