Facts About Columbus Hospice

Established in 1979 to provide loving, compassionate care to persons of all ages who have a life-limiting illness and their families, Columbus Hospice is the only community based, non-profit hospice serving ten Georgia and two Alabama counties.

The main focus of the hospice program is to provide coordinated care and support to enable patients to spend their final days at home with family and friends. Hospice services are also provided in nursing homes, personal care homes and retirement communities.

Whenever a hospice patient has special needs that cannot be met at home, they may be admitted to the Hospice House.

Special needs may include...

Symptom Management
Acute medical conditions that need continuous nursing care may be managed at home or in the Hospice House by professional staff who has expertise in pain control and symptom management.

Respite Care
When relief is needed by the caregiver for short periods of time, the home care hospice patient may stay overnight or up to five days in the Hospice House.
