Hospice care in Georgia provides compassionate, end-of-life care for individuals with terminal illnesses, focusing on comfort, dignity, and quality of life rather than curative treatments. It includes medical care, pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, and family assistance. Care is typically provided wherever the patient calls home—whether in a private residence, assisted living, or a skilled nursing facility. Palliative care, which is available at any stage of a serious illness, helps manage symptoms and improve quality of life, even while receiving curative treatments. Hospice services often include nursing care, medication management, counseling, respite care for families, and bereavement support. In Georgia, hospice is typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans, ensuring access to essential comfort care and support during life’s final stage.
