St. Gabriel's Hospice Joins LifeCare Home Health Family to Strengthen Hospice Care Across Texas

DALLAS, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- St. Gabriel's Hospice & Palliative Care, a respected provider of compassionate end-of-life care serving communities across Texas, has officially joined the LifeCare Home Health (LCHH) family. This partnership reflects LifeCare's continued expansion of its hospice service line, following the recent acquisitions of Fairmont Hospice in Houston, Texas, and Valley Hospice of Nevada.

Founded and led by healthcare executive Chris Cain, St. Gabriel's Hospice has grown since 2012 into a 300-patient hospice agency with more than 200 employees serving Fort Worth, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Lubbock, Houston, San Angelo, Corpus Christi, and Tyler. Under Cain's leadership, the organization has built a reputation for "People Caring for People," delivering care that addresses not only patients' symptom management needs but also their spiritual and emotional well-being, while supporting families throughout the journey.

With nearly three decades in the long-term care and hospice industry, Cain has founded more than a dozen hospice agencies in Texas, as well as assisted living facilities and a hospital. His extensive experience spans operations, finance, sales, marketing, regulatory management, and business stabilization.

"Joining LifeCare represents the next chapter for St. Gabriel's Hospice," said Chris Cain, Owner of St. Gabriel's Hospice. "We have built our success on a culture of compassion, integrity, and excellence. LifeCare shares these values and brings additional resources and innovative programs that will allow us to continue delivering exceptional care to patients and families across Texas."
