Hospice Care at Home

Expert Hospice Care in the Comfort of Home

For many individuals facing a serious illness, there is no place more comforting than home.

That’s why Hospice Savannah brings compassionate, expert hospice care directly to patients wherever they live. In fact, most hospice care is provided in the home, allowing patients to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving the support, symptom management, and care they need.

Our goal is simple: to help patients live as comfortably and fully as possible while supporting the family members and caregivers who walk alongside them.

What Is Hospice Care at Home?

Hospice care at home is specialized care designed for individuals facing a life-limiting illness.

Rather than focusing on curing disease, hospice focuses on comfort, quality of life, symptom management, and support for the whole person—and the whole family.

Care is delivered by an interdisciplinary team of professionals who work together to address physical, emotional, spiritual, and practical needs.

How Is Hospice Care Paid For?

Hospice care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans.

As a nonprofit organization, Hospice Savannah is committed to ensuring care is available regardless of financial circumstances. Through community support, charitable donations, and partnerships such as United Way of the Coastal Empire, financial assistance may be available for eligible patients who lack coverage.

If you have questions about insurance or eligibility, our team is happy to help.
