Areas We Serve

Access to hospice and palliative care should feel personal, responsive, and close to home. Foundations Hospice provides locally guided care across Southeast Louisiana, serving patients wherever they live, whether at home, in an assisted living community, or in a nursing facility.

Our care teams are familiar with the communities we serve, allowing us to respond quickly, coordinate effectively with local providers, and support families with care that reflects local values and needs.

If you do not see your parish listed, our team can help determine whether services are available in your area.

Foundations Hospice in LA

Care Provided Where You Call Home

Hospice and palliative care are delivered in the setting that best supports comfort and dignity. Services may be provided in:

  • Private residences
  • Assisted living communities
  • Skilled nursing facilities

Care plans are coordinated with physicians, caregivers, and facility staff to ensure continuity and responsiveness.

Referrals and Admissions Across Our Service Area

Hospice and palliative care referrals can come from many sources, including:

  • Physicians and specialists
  • Hospitals and discharge planners
  • Skilled nursing and assisted living communities
  • Family members or caregivers

Admissions are available throughout our service area, and our team helps guide families through eligibility, timing, and next steps without pressure.

Locally Guided, Not Corporate-Driven Care

Serving these parishes means more than covering a map. It means understanding the people, healthcare systems, and community resources that families rely on every day.

Our locally guided approach allows us to:

  • Respond quickly to changing needs
  • Coordinate smoothly with local providers
  • Offer consistent, familiar care teams
  • Support families with clear communication and availability

Care is never one-size-fits-all. It is shaped by individual needs and local context.

What Being “Local” Means for Care

Local care is not just about geography. It affects how quickly support is available and how well services are coordinated.

Serving these parishes allows our teams to:

  • Respond promptly to changes in condition
  • Coordinate efficiently with local physicians and facilities
  • Maintain consistent care teams familiar with each community
  • Provide clear communication and 24/7 on-call support

This local presence helps families feel supported, not passed between systems.

Support for Patients and Families Across the Region

Whether a patient is newly eligible for hospice, exploring palliative care, or needing additional support at home, services are available throughout our service area. Families receive education, guidance, and access to 24/7 on-call support, regardless of parish.

A conversation can help clarify what care is available and how services may begin.

My mother was being bathed daily in her last months of life by Koko. Koko was so caring and gentle with her. I’ll hold that as a dear memory because it was a comfort to observe her manner. She kept maintaining Mom’s humanity and dignity as a primary task.

Momma has been with Foundations for about four months now, give or take. These folks are amazing. First off, know that hospice is not only for very end of life, I didn’t know that, they help in many other ways too. After a nasty fall and surgery and now wheelchair bound among other things she has, we decided to reach out to Mark of foundations (owner) for help and advice for momma. Love us some Mark!!!! Besides where momma lives, next best decision we made!!! So much weight off our chests knowing we have an extra set of eyes helping us take care of momma and where we can no longer easily take her to doctors and nurses, etc., they come to her. Mark and his staff, starting with Lindsey (one of his territory managers), their nurses (momma’s being Rachel and Mackena), mommas care person who comes to shower her, Tiffany, and so many more staff she sees, they are all blessings and God sends! I cannot speak highly enough of this company. Unsure? Call them they will come out and help with your decision. If I could have given above five stars I would have!!!

Foundations Hospice has an excellent and caring team who cares about your loved one, but also you. Ashley, the nurse who i could call anytime, took care of my husband , who has passed and my Dad, who is in the Nursing home. My anniversary was coming up, and she knew my husband always got me something. She brought flowers and took a picture of us. He passed 3 days later. She framed that picture and brought it to me at his funeral. I cannot tell you how she got me through the funeral, Don, the Chaplain knew when I needed someone. He was there to listen and pray with me. Sheika, the aide, was excellent. I was amazed to see her move a grown man and how she cared for him. Brad, the social worker was great. If I missed someone, it wasn't intentional. I am telling everyone about my experience with Foundations Hospice. They are the #1 place to use. You won't be disappointed.

What kind of a hospice owner would show up on a weekend (or really any day) to shave a guy, cut his hair, and make him feel worthy?? YOU, Mark! What kind of a class act would show up 100% of the time with a literal sparkle in her eye and total joy in every step?? Lindsey D! The joy, love, Kindness, and professionalism from this company is something I have NEVER seen in my LIFETIME as a therapist in a care facility of any kind! I am beyond GRATEFUL that you are caring for the lovely people I have also been fortunate enough to know. God bless you!! ❤️🙏

Mark was an invaluable asset with the end of life planning for my father in law. One of the most knowledgeable individuals on the topic and a consummate professional.

The Foundations Hospice team cared for our Dad and supported our family with exceptional competence and heartfelt compassion, so many times going above and beyond with their efforts for problem solving and counseling. From top down, all our questions and concerns were quickly addressed at any hour, any day of the week. Nothing about caring for a loved one in their last days is easy and we were very blessed to have made the connection with Mr. Mark and his wonderful team.

My experience with the team from Foundations Hospice has been great! They have been very supportive and responsive to our families needs while caring for our mother. Mom loves the individuals that provide care for her and looks forward to their visits. Ashley D. Is always there for us, she answers all of our questions and makes sure we have everything we need. She is a good communicator and provides much needed support. I would recommend using their services for a loved one if it becomes necessary for your family.

I am so grateful for the help I received from Mark. He was amazing and really helped my family navigate a very difficult situation with my father who has dementia. He was very knowledgeable about everything from recommendations to answering questions that our family had about long term care . We have the perfect fit now. Thanks Mark.
