What is Hospice Care?
It is a benefit that provides palliative and compassionate care for individuals in addition to emotional support for the families when curative treatment had been unsuccessful.
Our services can be provided in the comfort and familiarity of one’s home, an assisted living or a nursing facility or wherever the patient resides. Hope Hospice’s treatment begins with the belief that fife is sacred. We treat the person, not the disease.
Ours is a team oriented approach that addresses all aspects of comfort care, including excellent medical care, pain management and emotional / spiritual support, expressly designed to meet the needs and wishes of patient and their family.

Admission to Hope Hospice of Atlanta is based on the patient’s needs rather than ability to pay. In addition, patient’s social security benefits are not affected while under the care of Hope Hospice of Atlanta.
