There’s a lot of heart behind what we do every day 💙

This year, our team has cared for more patients than ever — showing up with compassion, consistency, and real presence for every family we serve.

One thing we’re especially proud of:
✨ We scored 9 out of 10 on the Hospice Care Index

That score isn’t easy to earn. It reflects how well a hospice shows up when it matters most — visits, comfort, support, and being there in those final days.

A 9 out of 10 means we’re performing well above the national average and consistently meeting the quality measures that truly impact patient care.

We’ve also provided over 1,500 hours of patient care and continue to grow because of the trust our community places in us.

Every visit. Every call. Every moment. It all matters — and we don’t take that lightly.

You have a choice. Period.

No patient or family should ever feel pressured, steered, or harassed into choosing a specific hospice company—no matter where you are receiving care.

Whether you’re in a hospital, nursing home, or at home…
The decision is YOURS.

Hospice is about comfort, dignity, and trust—not contracts or quotas.

If something doesn’t feel right, you can ask questions.
You can say no.
You can choose a different provider.

And yes—you can switch hospices at any time.

At Gentle Transitions Hospice, we believe in empowering families with honest information so they can make the best decision for their loved one—not the most convenient one for a facility.

If you ever need guidance or just want to understand your options, we’re here.

Honoring a Legend 🤍

Today, we pause to remember Chuck Norris—a symbol of strength, resilience, and unwavering spirit.

For decades, he inspired millions through his courage, discipline, and larger-than-life presence. But beyond the action and accolades, he reminded us of something deeper… the value of perseverance, family, and faith.

At Gentle Transitions Hospice, we are honored every day to walk alongside individuals and families as they reflect on lives well lived—filled with moments of strength, love, and legacy.

Today, we celebrate a life that made an impact far beyond the screen.

🤍 Every life has a story worth honoring.

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!
