Our Story
Foundations Hospice was founded in Southeast Louisiana on a simple but deeply held belief: people at the end of life deserve to be cared for with faith, service, and compassion.
While Foundations Hospice may be a newer name in the hospice community, our team is not new to this work. Together, our leadership and caregivers bring decades of experience across hospice and healthcare, with a shared commitment to doing what is right for patients and families.
Our local ownership allows us to care for our neighbors the way neighbors should be cared for. Decisions are made close to home, with a deep understanding of the people and communities we serve throughout Ascension, Jefferson, Livingston, Orleans, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Washington, and East and West Baton Rouge parishes.
Our Mission
At Foundations Hospice, our mission is to provide compassionate, high-quality end-of-life care to patients and their families across Southeast Louisiana.
We are dedicated to ensuring that every individual we serve experiences comfort, dignity, and peace during their final journey, while supporting families with clarity, respect, and presence.
Our Compassionate Approach
We believe that true hospice care is about creating a supportive environment that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our patients and their loved ones. We tailor our care to each individual’s unique needs and preferences, offering a comprehensive range of services wherever they call home: including in patients’ homes, assisted living facilities, or a specialized hospice facility.
We take time to listen, explain options clearly, and adjust care as needs change, so families never feel rushed or overlooked.
Hospice Services Designed Around Comfort and Support
We believe hospice care is more than medical treatment. It is about creating a supportive environment that honors the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of each patient and the people who love them.
Foundations Hospice offers a comprehensive range of hospice services focused on comfort, symptom relief, and family support, including:
- Pain and symptom management
- Emotional and spiritual support
- Medication and medical equipment coordination
- Grief counseling and bereavement support for families
Care is provided wherever patients feel most comfortable, including private homes, assisted living communities, nursing facilities, or specialized hospice settings as appropriate.
A Team Chosen for Skill and Compassion
Our hospice team is carefully selected not only for experience, but for heart.
Care is delivered by an interdisciplinary team that includes:
- Experienced hospice physicians
- Compassionate nurses
- Dedicated social workers
- Home health aides
- Spiritual care counselors
- Trained volunteers
Each team member shares a commitment to providing respectful, attentive care that honors every life.
