Hospice Atlanta Benefits

Getting the most from your Hospice Atlanta experience.

The right time to move a loved one into hospice care is different for every family and every situation is, of course, unique. But the criteria are usually met when someone has a life-limiting illness. Generally, the patient is no longer seeking curative treatment and has a life expectancy of less than six months. When in this situation, it’s better to move to hospice sooner, rather than later, so the patient and the family can take full advantage of the benefits of this very helpful and specialized care.

Reduce hospital time. Reduce family stress.

Once you begin hospice care, the time your loved one spends in the hospital may be reduced and the sooner they can be brought back to the safety and comfort of their own home, surrounded by friends and family. Hospice Atlanta staff are experts in controlling pain and symptoms which helps the patient feel better, longer. The patient can participate more in decision making and advanced directives before they may be too compromised to do so. And your loved one and your whole family can solidify relationships with your hospice team.

With Hospice Atlanta on your side, the stress your family feels will also be greatly lessened because so much support and information will be provided. You’ll not only get medical assistance, everyone involved will have spiritual and emotional guidance from a compassionate and experienced hospice team.

Your family’s needs are covered. And so are your benefits.

It makes a lot of sense to make the hospice decision early. And know, that whenever you decide the time is right, hospice care is paid for by Medicare and most insurance plans. Find out more here.

Hospice Atlanta is a trusted resource for you. If you want more information about evaluating your unique situation, email us or call (404) 869-3000.

We`ve had a great day honoring our Veteran hospice patients for their courage, service, and connection. Our Veteran Volunteer retired Navy Captain Alan, traveled around to our patients’ homes today, honoring their service with a We Honor Veterans pinning event. A few of our patients honored today are shown here: Duane, an Air Force pilot, and later a commercial pilot, with a flawless 30-year flying record, and Edward “Ted,” a Navy veteran and centenarian honored at age 102.
Alan, our Volunteer and a retired Navy Captain who served aboard the USS Long Beach during the Vietnam War, has spent over 15 years giving back to fellow veterans through visits and veteran pinning ceremonies. Through these events, Alan brings honor, understanding, recognition, and the unique bond that only a fellow service member can share.

Visiting Nurse loves celebrating Our Amazing Home Health PTs and PTAs!

October is Physical Therapy Month, and our Home Health leader Jacqueline Ralph Blair brought the team together for a fun evening of bowling to celebrate the incredible work they bring into homes every day. This celebration was a small way to say thank you for the big impact they make in people’s lives.

In these times, connection and appreciation mean more than ever — and it was wonderful to spend time together as a team. 💙
