Mission Statement
Gentle Transitions Hospice understands that Hospice care is more than tending to the physical end of life; it is a way of caring for the patient, their family, and support group. Through our training and mentoring program for incoming staff, we will empower those caregivers and end-of-life professionals with the ability to advance quality of life and to accept the gift of providing a compassionate, dignified, and quality end-of-life for their patient or loved one.
Description
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 25+ years and has a true passion for End-of-life Care. Evan has worked in hospice marketing and administration for the past 15 years, though he will always tell you that he grew up in hospice, with a deep respect for it. Gwenn and Evan dreamt they might have their own "Old-fashioned" hospice one day. What they meant by that is, after having worked for large hospice companies and corporate entities, they wanted to return to a time when patient care was the #1 priority, instead of only being concerned with the bottom line. 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.
