The Borderland is a unique place. We have a vibrant cultural heritage and storied history. Here at Envision Hospice, we recognize the unique cultural and linguistic needs of our region, and we believe that language should never be a barrier to getting quality care.
With our roots planted firmly in El Paso, we’re proud to offer hospice in Spanish to make sure every patient gets the care they deserve.
Hospice in Spanish: Why Bilingual Support Matters
Clear Communication
Choosing a hospice provider can be a difficult decision. You need a provider that prioritizes clear communication, understanding, and individualized care.
For Spanish-speaking communities, language barriers can add unnecessary stress in an already challenging time. Clear communication ensures that patients and families are fully informed and comfortable with their care. And we’re passionate about ensuring every patient and family feels heard and informed.
Here at Envision Hospice, all of our staff are bilingual in English and Spanish.
We always have the capacity to bring in team members to assist — so that language is never an obstacle to receiving the best care.
Bilingual hospice is about more than managing physical symptoms. It also involves emotional support and spiritual care.
Patients and loved ones must be able to express their concerns, fears, and wishes in the language that feels most natural to them. Envision’s bilingual staff are here to listen, support, and provide comfort in English or Spanish.
By facilitating these conversations, we can make sure families’ physical and emotional needs are respected.
Hospice in Spanish: Understanding the Culture of the Borderland
At Envision Hospice, we’re hospice care providers — but also part of the Borderland community.
We understand the unique culture, traditions, and practices that are important to patients and their families. Being immersed in this culture helps us respect traditions by incorporating a patient’s customs and beliefs into their individualized care plan. This way, we can make sure the care we provide aligns with their values.
Being part of this community means being deeply invested in the well-being of the people we serve. We’re not just care providers — we’re also neighbors, friends, and fellow El Pasoans.
Empathetic Support
Our staff are trained to provide empathetic and culturally sensitive support. A hospice provider should recognize the importance of family, spirituality, and community in hospice care. By building a patient’s care plan around their unique needs (including cultural and spiritual practices), we can connect deeply with our patients and their families — offering both medical and emotional support.
Family Involvement
Here in the Borderland, family is a huge part of our culture.
Family bonds are crucial for emotional support and an important factor in making decisions. Another reason we offer hospice in Spanish is to make sure families are included and supported.
Losing a loved one is an incredibly difficult experience. The grieving process looks different for each person. At Envision Hospice, our support doesn’t end when the patient passes. We’re here to support families through their grief journey with resources (in both English and Spanish) to help them cope with their loss. These services can include educational materials to help understand what to expect, connections to counselors or support groups, and spiritual care.
We want to help families find comfort, closure, and hope through our bilingual services as they navigate their loss.
How Hospice in Spanish Offers Comprehensive Support
We say it often: Hospice is about easing the physical, emotional, and spiritual pain of patients facing a life-limiting illness.
To provide care that meets those individual needs, we create a comprehensive care plan that’s tailored to each patient. Our team frequently assesses the patient’s process and makes any needed adjustments to the plan. We offer integrative therapies like massage, acupuncture, and aromatherapy in addition to other medical interventions.
This holistic approach to hospice addresses patients’ physical needs AND their emotional, spiritual, and social well-being. By prioritizing language accessibility and cultural awareness, we can make sure a patient’s care plan meets their needs as a whole person.
