Georgia Hospice Care
Georgia Hospice Care is a Medicare-certified hospice provider serving Richmond Hill, Georgia and surrounding areas. A Medicare-certified hospice provides comfort care and support services to patients with terminal illnesses and their families. Hospice care focuses on quality of life rather than curative treatment.
Hospice care is available to patients whose physician certifies they have a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course. Patients may receive hospice care at home, in a hospice facility, nursing home, or hospital.
Medicare-certified hospices must provide all four levels of hospice care: routine home care, continuous home care for periods of crisis, general inpatient care for symptom management, and inpatient respite care to give caregivers a break. Care is provided by an interdisciplinary team including physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and trained volunteers.
Medicare covers hospice services with no cost to patients for most services, including medications for symptom control, medical equipment, and 24-hour access to care. For more information about hospice benefits, visit Medicare.gov. Compare hospice providers at Medicare Care Compare.
Quality data and provider information are updated periodically by CMS. We recommend verifying current information at Medicare Care Compare.

Our family’s experience with Georgia Hospice has been both professional & caring. The staff has immediately addressed any concerns for our loved one. Having our loved one in the care of Georgia Hospice is very comforting to this entire family. I will recommend Georgia Hospice to anyone in need of hospice
1 star is being nice. This hospice care is terrible. Started them for my father on September 29. Only came out 2-3 times for less than an hour. Did not offer comfort meds or anything else to him. Really didn’t address his bed sores comepletly. He had to be admitted to the hospital a week later for antibiotics to treat the infection they didn’t catch.he returned home 4 days later and wasn’t any better. They give you really old equipment. The hospital bed had a crank, the table had big scratches everywhere.
Our family cannot say enough good things about GHC. Ann, Erin, Wachovia, Krista and Melody; and everyone else we've had the pleasure of helping us have ALL been WONDERFUL. Goes far above and beyond to make not only my brother (patient) happy and comfortable but they treat my husband and me with such kindness and compassion. They have become the family we never had and we are so very thankful!
Kenley is an amazing asset to the hospice team. She is knowledgeable and helps get things done! She is kind and really helps you obtain the resources you need.
Hung up the phone on me twice, and said they were too busy to talk to me about my dying grandmother they were "caring" for. Wittheld water from her for four days. Find another hospice provider!
