Vista Hospice
A hospice in Richmond, Texas 77407
Also listedWith Texas’s licensed hospices Medicare doesn’t certify
Besides the hospices CMS certifies, Texas’s list here holds the agencies HHSC licenses for hospice services whose Medicare number its directory leaves blank. CMS’s ratings and inspections don’t cover them; each says so, and is compared with none.

The short answer
Record last released by Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Long-Term Care Regulation on Oct 22, 2026.
- Not rated by Medicare: CMS rates only the providers it certifies, and this one isn’t Medicare-certified
- Not read what inspectors found: the state’s list doesn’t carry it
Each figure’s source sits beside it, in its section below.
What these words mean3
- Not read
- The file this site reads doesn’t carry what inspectors found, so nothing is counted here. It doesn’t mean the place has a clean record: the state’s own site may have its reports. Source: How this site reads each source.
- Inspection (survey)
- A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
- Deficiency, citation, violation
- What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
What did inspectors find?
Texas’s directory of licensed agencies carries no inspection results, so this page can’t say what inspectors found. HHSC’s Long-term Care Regulation inspects home and community support services agencies, and its Long-term Care Provider Search has their records.

Is it licensed, or certified?
- Home and community support services agency licensed for hospice services, licensed by Texas’s Health and Human Services Commission.
- Texas’s directory gives it no Medicare number, so it isn’t Medicare-certified. CMS’s files list only the hospices Medicare certifies, so no CMS CMS rates some kinds of place from 1 to 5 stars, more stars meaning better on CMS’s own measures for that kind: for a nursing home, its health inspections, staffing and quality measures. A rating is CMS’s summary of those measures; it doesn’t promise good care. Source: CMS, Care Compare and the Five-Star Quality Rating System., survey or inspection covers this one, and none is shown or compared.
- Texas’s licence number: 025098, valid to Jun 10, 2029.
- Texas’s licensed services: Hospice.

Has the state acted against it?
- Texas’s directory marks a licence with an enforcement action pending, and carries no other enforcement actions.
Who does the caring?
- Texas publishes no staffing levels in this list, and CMS’s staffing measures cover only certified agencies.
Who owns it?
- Licence holder: Vista Hospice and Palliative Care LLC.

What do families say?
- CMS rates only Medicare-certified agencies, so no CMS rating is shown here; Texas publishes no rating in this list.
How does it compare nearby?
- Not compared: CMS’s measures cover only the hospices Medicare certifies, and this state’s list publishes no measure of its own to compare.
What the record doesn’t say
- Texas licenses hospices as home and community support services agencies, and HHSC’s directory lists every one with an active licence. This page is one of those whose Medicare number the directory leaves blank: not Medicare-certified, and so in none of CMS’s files. Branches and alternate delivery sites, part of a parent’s licence, aren’t listed on their own, nor is a licence the directory marks expired; an agency CMS lists by the same name in the same city is left out, so none is listed twice.
- CMS’s files list only the hospices Medicare certifies, so no CMS star rating, survey or inspection covers this one, and none is shown or compared.
- Texas’s directory of licensed agencies carries no inspection results, so this page can’t say what inspectors found. HHSC’s Long-term Care Regulation inspects home and community support services agencies, and its Long-term Care Provider Search has their records.
