Wes and Sandra White bought Marshall Manor Nursing and Rehab in 1999. Through the owning of this business they realized the local need for a home health and hospice provider. They saw a need within their residents at Marshall Manor and chose to begin a new business to support that need. Marshall Homecare was born in 2005 and the hospice service was added in 2008. Thus Marshall Homecare & Hospice was born the only locally owned & operated home health and hospice provider in Marshall Texas. The Whites chose to sell Marshall Manor Nursing and Rehab in 2009 when they decided that home health and hospice was a greater calling. The couple found that Marshall Homecare & Hospice allowed for them to administer a business with a more personal approach to families seeking care for their relatives in Harrison and the surrounding counties. In July of 2015 the Whites eldest son, Brandon White, was added to the family business to help strengthen community relationships and to provide leadership for Marshall Homecare & Hospice in the future. Sandra White passed away in February of 2016 after an extended battle with cancer. She was so loved within the community for her unwavering support and endlessly giving heart.

Annually, we present a memorial service and fellowship dinner to honor our hospice patients that have passed away in the previous year. Our staff presents a small program and each family is encouraged to participate. Families receive a personal invitation to be a part of this reverent event which includes a memorial memento in honor of their loved one. This may include a butterfly release, a lantern release, or candle lighting ceremony.

Our roots are deeply planted in East Texas. Our goal is to leave behind a “shade tree” that others will continue to benefit from and nourish, long after we have gone.
