🎉 Celebrating a Beautiful Career & Retirement 🎉

Today we honor and celebrate Kathy Stephens, an extraordinary social worker whose compassion, heart, and dedication have touched the lives of so many families and patients through her work with Gentle Transitions Hospice. 💛

Kathy has been a guiding light — providing comfort, strength, and unwavering support to our hospice families during some of life’s most tender moments. Her ability to truly listen, her authentic care for every individual she’s served, and her commitment to walking alongside families through their journeys is nothing short of inspiring. 🌷

From sharing smiles and treats with residents alongside our team to being a steady source of comfort, Kathy’s presence has made Gentle Transitions Hospice a kinder, warmer place for all who have had the privilege to know her. Her impact will be felt for years to come. 

Kathy, thank you for the countless memories, the compassion you’ve shared, and the hearts you’ve lifted. We are better because of you. 💕 As you begin this well-deserved next chapter, we wish you joy, peace, and all the wonderful adventures retirement has in store.

Congratulations and happy retirement, Kathy! 🎊
We love you! 💐

💙 Today, one of our nurses held a patient’s hand while their family cried, prayed, and shared memories.

There were no rushes. No distractions. Just comfort, love, and the reminder that no one should ever walk this season alone.

This is hospice.
This is Gentle Transitions.
And this is our heart.

Some days call for answers.
Some days call for comfort.
Some days call for a team that truly cares.

At Gentle Transitions Hospice, we believe hospice should feel personal, calm, and human—not overwhelming or scary. We focus on comfort, dignity, and helping families breathe a little easier during hard moments.

If you’ve been wondering “Is it time?” or “What support is available?”—let’s talk. Even a simple conversation can bring clarity and peace of mind.

A New Year Prayer for the Gentle Transitions Hospice Team✨✨✨🎆🎆🎆

Heavenly Father,

As we step into this new year, we pause with grateful hearts for the work You have entrusted to us. Thank You for each member of the Gentle Transitions Hospice family—for their compassion, resilience, and unwavering commitment to serve with love.

Bless our hands as they care, our words as they comfort, and our hearts as they walk alongside patients and families during life’s most sacred moments. Grant us wisdom in our decisions, patience in our challenges, and strength when the work feels heavy.

Protect our staff as they travel, work, and serve. Renew our spirits when we are weary, remind us why this calling matters, and fill our days with purpose, peace, and unity. Help us continue to lead with humility, kindness, and integrity in all that we do.

May this new year bring healing where there is fatigue, joy where there is sorrow, and hope in every home we enter. Let our care always reflect dignity, grace, and deep respect for every life we honor.

We place this year, our mission, and one another in Your loving hands.

Amen. ❤️❤️❤️🎆🎆🎆

About Us

Gentle Transitions Hospice is a locally and family owned hospice agency in Central Texas. We provide quality end-of-life care for patients and their families. We service a 60-mile radius of Waco-Temple-Killeen, Texas. We provide skilled nursing care, physician oversight, social workers, chaplains, certified nursing assistants, and volunteers for our hospice patients. We are proud to serve our local Veterans as well, as we are contracted with the Department of Veterans Affairs. We are also ACHC Accredited and Medicare Certified.

We Believe in Old-Fashioned Hospice

Gentle Transitions Hospice is a locally and family owned business. The owners are mother and son, Gwenn Dalton and Evan Hessel. Gwenn has been a Hospice Registered Nurse, Director of Nursing, and Administrator in Central Texas for 20+ years and has a true passion for End-of-life Care. Evan has worked in hospice marketing and administration for the past 10 years, though he will always tell you that he grew up in hospice, with a deep respect for it. Gwenn and Evan dreamt that one day they might have their own "Old-fashioned" hospice. What they meant by that is, after both having worked for large hospice companies and corporate entities, they wanted to return to a time when patient care was the #1 priority, as opposed to only being concerned with the bottom line. Gwenn recalls when she first started hospice nursing, saying, "The hours were long and the work was hard, but at the end of the day our patients and staff always felt greatly appreciated." And this is the exact environment that will be encouraged at Gentle Transitions Hospice. We want to treat our staff with love and care, so they pass on that same blessing to every single one of our patients and their families. At Gentle Transitions Hospice everyone is family!
