Angel Hands Hospice: Helping Patients Experience Peace and Dignity
The word “hospice” originates from the Latin word hospitium, meaning “guesthouse” or “a place of rest and refuge for the sick and weary.”
True to the meaning of its name, there is a hospice provider that has earned a strong reputation in the community for helping patients spend their remaining time in peace: Angel Hands Hospice.
Angel Hands does more than provide medical care—it strives to become a meaningful companion in each patient’s journey.
Founded in 2018, Angel Hands Hospice has continued to grow and now employs more than 150 staff members, including physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.
The organization currently operates offices in Dallas, Denton, Texoma, and Tyler (East Texas). It also planned to open an additional office in Fort Worth in 2025. Each location is dedicated to providing high-quality hospice and palliative care to patients and their families throughout its service area.
An Angel Hands representative explained:
“Hospice is not synonymous with death. Hospice is a specialized form of care for individuals facing serious illness.”
The representative continued:
“Hospice shifts the focus toward comfort, dignity, and peace. Our goal is to help patients spend the time they have remaining as comfortably and pain-free as possible.”
Angel Hands primarily serves patients living with:
- Dementia
- Neurological disorders
- Stroke
- Cancer
- Kidney disease
- Lung disease
- Heart disease
- Liver disease
The organization also provides care for patients in comas.
Hospice care is a government-supported healthcare benefit similar to Social Security in that it is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans, allowing eligible patients to receive necessary care with little or no financial burden.
Angel Hands offers a comprehensive range of patient care services.
A Registered Nurse (RN) visits patients once each week to monitor their condition and provide medications as needed.
A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) visits three to five times per week to assist with:
- Bed care
- Bathing
- Toileting
- Nail care
- Personal hygiene and daily living activities
Through Angel Hands Hospice, patients may also receive a variety of medical equipment and supplies, including:
- Wheelchairs
- Hospital beds
- Oxygen equipment
- Wound care ointments
- Pain medications
- Bandages
Patients may also receive personal care supplies such as:
- Disposable underwear
- Wet wipes
- Adult hygiene products
- Disposable gloves
- Absorbent pads
- Lotions
- Skin creams
In addition, a social worker and chaplain visit patients once a month—or more frequently if needed—to provide emotional, spiritual, and counseling support.
To better serve the Korean community, Pastor Se-Kwon Kim, the hospice chaplain, provides counseling in Korean.
Angel Hands Hospice offers 24-hour telephone support at 214-267-1800.
For Korean-language assistance, patients and families may contact Pastor Se-Kwon Kim directly at 214-714-1748.
