We are excited to introduce Coffee & Conversations at Nolan River Coffee , a new, casual grief support offering designed to create space for connection, conversation, and community.

This gathering is open to anyone navigating grief, whether the loss is recent or something they have been carrying for some time. There is no pressure to share and no expectations to participate in any particular way.

Coffee & Conversations is simply a space to show up as you are and be reminded that you are not alone.

Advocacy is part of our calling. We’re proud that our CEO, David Dowd, joined fellow hospice leaders and represented both Alēvcare Hospice and the Texas and New Mexico Hospice Organization Board at today’s Regulatory Reform meeting in Austin with Texas Health and Human Services Commission. We’re grateful to support thoughtful progress and dialogue that can positively impact hospice care in Texas in the years ahead.

TNMHPO staff and board members proudly represented the hospice community today at the regulatory reform initiative hosted by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. We’re committed to ensuring hospice voices are heard as policies and regulations are shaped.

We’re so excited, honored, and humbled to share that AlēvCare Hospice is now recognized as a 5-Star Hospice on the newly refreshed Medicare.gov Care & Compare site!

Even more humbling…
Out of over 1,100 hospice providers across Texas, only 24 received a 5-Star rating in this update.

For us, this recognition reflects the trust families place in us during life’s most sacred moments, and the steady, compassionate care our team provides every day in homes and communities across North Texas. A special thank you to our team, whose compassion and dedication make this level of care possible every day.

If you or someone you love is considering hospice, we always encourage you to compare providers openly and transparently.

💚 Today we’re celebrating Angela Garland Swan and 3 years with AlēvCare Hospice! 💚

Angela brings skill, calm, and compassion to every patient and family she serves. And if we’re being honest, she also has a special way of winning people over with her charming Louisiana accent and those endearing Louisiana-isms that always make us smile.

Angela, thank you for your heart, your dedication, and the care you bring to our patients and families every day. We’re so grateful to have you on our team!

🥶Ice storm = canceled plans + extra scrolling time🥶
So we figured… why not share something meaningful?

AlēvCare Hospice is growing, and we’re looking for an experienced 7-On-7-Off On-Call RN to join a strong, supportive on-call team of four RNs.

If you, or someone you know, values teamwork, autonomy with backup, talented on-call collogues, and hospice done the right way, this might be worth a look.

Stay safe. Stay warm. And feel free to pass this along. 💚

💚 We’re celebrating 5 amazing years with Michele Forby Sobczak!

As our Director of Patient Relations, Michele has been a huge part of AlēvCare’s growth, not just in numbers, but in reputation, trust, and community impact. She is one of the most genuine people you could ever meet and you see it in how she leads with sincerity, builds relationships the right way, and represents our mission with heart and excellence every single day.

Michele, thank you for your leadership, your authenticity, and the way you serve our patients, families, and community. We are incredibly grateful for you! 💚

🎉 Today we celebrate the retirement of one of our Chaplains, Mr. Art Toombs, a man whose life and calling have impacted far more people than he’ll ever know. 🎉

Before Art ever stepped into hospice chaplaincy, he was the starting shortstop for the University of Houston Houston Cougar Baseball , playing in the 1967 College World Series final, which is the only championship game UH has ever reached. It’s an accomplishment he’s rightly proud of, and a part of his story that speaks to his grit, discipline, heart, and the value of great teamwork.

In time, that same steady strength led him into ministry, where he spent 20 years caring for hospice patients and families. Nearly eight of those years were spent here at AlēvCare, where he joined us as one of our first three team members and helped shape the spirit and culture of our agency.

From the baseball diamond to the bedside, Art has always shown up with humility, character, and a deep commitment to serving others. His presence has brought comfort to countless families and has left a mark on all of us.

Art, thank you for the decades you’ve devoted to this calling, for the compassion you’ve poured into our community, and for finishing your career here with us. We are grateful for your story, your ministry, and the example you’ve set.

Wishing you rest, joy, and God’s peace in this next chapter. 💚
