What hospice care includes in Georgia
Hospice is comfort-focused care for the end of life — pain and symptom management, plus family support — delivered at home, in a facility, or in a dedicated hospice residence.
Georgia hospices are DCH-licensed, and the Medicare hospice benefit covers most hospice care at little to no out-of-pocket cost for eligible patients. A typical monthly range is little to no out-of-pocket cost when covered by Medicare or Medicaid.
When you visit, look past the lobby and check these:
- whether care can be delivered wherever your loved one lives now
- the after-hours and weekend response for a symptom crisis
- the bereavement support offered to the family
