Hospice Atlanta Overview

Bringing home support, comfort and peace when you need it most.

We are here for the patient. We are here for you.

As Georgia’s leading nonprofit hospice provider, you can count on Hospice Atlanta to give your entire family physical, emotional and spiritual support when a loved one is facing a life-limiting illness. We do it with grace and dignity for the patient. We do it with understanding and compassion for you.

Hospice Atlanta was established in 1975 as Georgia’s first hospice provider. We have the expertise and resources to guide your family through this very personal time. Our team works as an extension of the patient’s attending physician, offering a combination of “hands-on” tenderness with high tech efficiencies brought bedside when necessary. With Hospice Atlanta by your side, you can have confidence, and as importantly, you can have calm.

“I feel valued and respected in the home.” – Lynn Adams, RN

Care for the whole family.

A lingering illness can take its toll on all involved. That’s why Hospice Atlanta provides not only uncompromising, compassionate care for the patient, but several options of respite care for family members and caregivers. You can arrange for:

A caring and dependable volunteer to vacation with your loved one while you run errands or just take a walk.
Pet Peace of Mind: Our service that helps with four-legged family members.
Bereavement Counseling for up to 13 months after a loved one’s passing.

At Hospice Atlanta, we know that even when someone is dying, there’s a lot of living to do. For the patient and for the family, we provide everything possible to make every day one of quality and filled with support, peace and love to create warm final memories between all family members.

For more information about Hospice Atlanta, please email us or call us at (404) 869-3000.

We’re proud to share our President and CEO, Dorothy Davis, joined other Georgia healthcare leaders this week in Washington DC, gathering April 9 for LeadingAge Lobby Day.
The team meet with both Republican and Democratic representatives to ensure healthcare and choice remain an option for seniors.
As Visiting Nurse began over 76 years ago, our mission is to improve the lives of those we serve, and we carried the voices of our patients and caregivers to the Georgia representatives.
We honor this dedicated team of healthcare leaders (Ginny Helms, Deke Cateau, Chris Keysor, Karon Nixon) committed to work in connection directly with local and federal policymakers, to continue helping to drive meaningful change and create a more equitable healthcare system for all. Thank you to these strong leaders, for their unwavering dedication and for being a voice for those who need it most.
