Life's Solutions Hospice Care, Inc. is Houston’s hometown hospice.
The company was founded in 2001 as the fulfillment of one nurse’s
life-long dream to serve those in their most crucial time of need.
As first a nurse aide then as a registered nurse, Christine Fields
worked in multiple arenas of healthcare in the Houston area as she
learned the needs of the community and saw that there was a great
necessity for compassionate end-of-life care. To this day, Life’s
Solutions remains locally owned and operated by Christine Fields and
her team of licensed clinicians. Every treatment decision is made
using that compassionate, nursing-care decision-making model first
and foremost.
Since its inception, Life’s Solutions has grown to serve the Greater
Houston Metropolitan area and surrounding Montgomery, Waller, and
Fort Bend counties. Life’s Solutions’ dedicated teams serve patients
in all environments, including nursing homes, assisted living
facilities, personal care homes, hospitals, or family homes. We are
members of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and
a certified provider for Medicare and Medicaid. We are also proud
to support the community through our memberships in the Tomball Area
and Greater Southwest Houston Chambers of Commerce.

Christine Fields, RN
Founder & CEO
Christine Fields is that one nurse with a dream outlined at the
outset of this page. She obtained her LVN licensure from the
Memorial City School of Vocational Nursing and proceeded to earn her
RN from Wharton Community College, where she graduated first in her
class. She quickly developed an appreciation for the issues of
life-limiting illnesses and the care required while working as a
staff RN in a long-term acute care hospital specializing in the care
of ventilator patients.
Since that time she has served as Director of Clinical Services for
two home health agencies, a premier assisted living facility (she
also holds a certification as an Assisted Living Manager in the
state of Texas), and Houston’s best known senior service program:
Sheltering Arms. Through those affiliations and in her previous role
as the Director of Medicaid’s Community Based Alternative Program,
she refined her fervor for eldercare advocacy. This background
enables her to see and balance the diverse perspectives of our
multiple customers: patients, families, physicians, and long-term
care operators.

“Hospice reminds me of why I
became a nurse… to help those in a very difficult time of their life
and make their life easier.” Shannon Carroll, LVN
“Hospice is my ministry in life.
Hospice is my calling in life.” Carol West, RN
“I feel like at the end of life,
you need the one on one person to let them feel like they are
special- to make life extra happy and help them be ready for death.”
Judy Davis, LVN
“Life’s Solutions staff made the whole experience beautiful and
peaceful. I learned from what they taught me and now feel I can
teach others because of my experience.” Brenda, RN, patient’s sister
"You don’t know what a difference you make in people’s life.” Nursing Facility Director of Clinical Services
"When I refer to Life's Solutions I have peace of mind. I know the
resident and family will be seen promptly and will receive the best
of care. The staff they provide works so well with our existing
team, it is just like having extra eyes and hands in the whole
place. Their coordination of care is seamless with our own and that
is in large part due to their excellent communication skills." Alzheimer’s Assisted Living Director of Health Services
“Life’s Solutions' staff is extremely accessible. When families have
questions regarding their hospice care, it is always possible to
reach someone from the agency. The referral process can at times be
confusing with hospital case managers, our employees, and hospice
employees all involved. There has been no confusion in these
referrals to Life’s Solutions- they have been timely in the
delivering of equipment, medicines, and all around coordination of
care for our residents.” Continuing Care Retirement Community Director of Social Services
