About Us

Life's Solutions Hospice Care, Inc. is Houston’s hometown hospice. Our agency 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 health care in the Houston area. As she gained more experience, 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 Southwest Houston Metropolitan area and surrounding communities such as Fort Bend county, Katy, Missouri City, Fresno, and wherever the need arises for hospice care. 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.

The Life's Solutions Hospice Care Team includes:

Physician Medical Directors
Registered Nurses
Licensed Vocational Nurses
Certified Nurse Aides
Licensed Masters-prepared Clinical Social Workers
Spiritual Support Counselors
Registered, licensed Dieticians
Volunteers
Facility Staff Members
Family Members
Ancillary service partners for Durable Medical Equipment, Pharmaceuticals, Ambulance transport care, Physical, Speech, and Occupational Therapies

We are so proud of our team members and the care that we provide. Please let us introduce you to the people behind Life's Solutions Hospice Care:

Christine Fields, RN
Founder & CEO, Executive Administrator

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 life-limiting illnesses and the unique care required for patients suffering from such conditions while working as a staff RN in a long-term acute care hospital specializing in the care of ventilator patients.

Since that time, Christine 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 Christine to see and balance the diverse perspectives of our multiple customers - patients, families, physicians, and long-term care operators.

Quein Uyatede, CNA

Quien (pronounced "queen") has been with Life's Solutions Hospice Care longer than most of our team members. Quein joined our team in 2002, and she has become one of our most dependable players. We are proud to provide our patients with the most loving and caring CNA's in the industry, and Quein embodies those characteristics in all of her actions.

Jeanne Duplantis
Chaplain

Jeanne has led a diverse and varied life travelling around the country and the world with her involvement in community service organizations. Her passion has always been elder care, and Jeanne has spent the majority of her community service and pastoral experience counseling and enjoying time with elderly populations.

Jeanne's clinical pastoral training began 10 years ago, and in 2003 she graduated from Loyola University in New Orleans with a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies. After completing the course requirements for the Clinical Pastoral Education Certificate, Jeanne entered her career as a hospice chaplain. Jeanne has been with Life's Solutions Hospice Care since the end of 2008.

The role of a hospice chaplain can be challenging, both for the chaplain herself and the patient or loved one receiving the support. Jeanne wants families to know that her role in the hospice process is not to judge them or their faith, nor is it to direct them to a certain faith or denomination. Jeanne's only goals as a hospice chaplain are to support our patients' spirituality, to provide, upon their request, community resources for their particular faith or denomination, and to be available as a listening ear, shoulder to cry on, or simply to provide a spiritual presence for our patients and their loved ones.

Adrianne Wilson
Business Office Manager

Adrianne is the true backbone of Life's Solutions Hospice Care. When she joined our team in 2005, she brought with her many years of experience in medical records and office management. Adrianne knows everything about our office and practices, and she is always the first person we turn to for questions, favors, complaints, and more. Adrianne is jokingly known around the office as our AT&T specialist, as she is the person who most often enjoys long hold times and the expertise of "Elvis" in Bangalore while trying to solve our recurrent telephonic hassles. We are able to provide our patients with such outstanding care because we know that Adrianne is back at the home office watching out for us and keeping us in line.

Jackie Dudkowski
Volunteer

Jackie joined Life's Solutions Hospice Care in early 2009, and she is a true angel to our patients. Jackie is always willing to provide comfort to our patients who need it the most. Jackie came to us with many years of hospice volunteering experience, and we are so proud to offer her support to our patients and their families.

Anca Adams, JD
Volunteer

Anca has been with Life's Solutions Hospice Care since Day 1. She worked as a volunteer while she attended college at Rice University, and she stayed on with us during her time in law school at Texas Wesleyan University School of Law. Although she has a "real" job now, Anca still finds time to visit with patients occassionally, and she diligently attends all office parties.

And while we’re telling you about us, we’d like to explain our logo and the name of our company. We believe that every decision must be made with the kindness of the heart, and we realize that by allowing us to join you and your loved ones in this journey, you are literally entrusting your hearts in our hands. We treasure and respect that relationship.

And in end of life situations, we realize that it feels like life is puzzling and comes with more that its fair share of problems. And it is for life’s puzzles and problems that we commit to provide and to be Life’s Solutions. We want you to know that every time we see our logo, we renew that commitment to you and to ourselves.

“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.
