Find the Right Hospice Care in Marshall County
Marshall County is wider than Guntersville, Albertville, or Boaz. Families often leave Marshall Medical Center North in Guntersville or Marshall Medical Center South in Boaz. Albertville sits between them on US-431. Huntsville is Madison County, over the mountain. Use the Guntersville page when the home is inside that city. Use this county page when the address is another community in Marshall County, or when someone may leave a hospital for a home that is not in that city. Ask which team would send the first nurse to that street after the discharge desk closes. A “Marshall County” answer still has to name Guntersville, Albertville, or Boaz.
We are a free, independent resource created by healthcare professionals to help Alabama families navigate hospice and end-of-life decisions. We bring together hospice provider comparisons, Medicare quality data, our Hospice Education Center, and trusted community resources so families can better understand their options and take the next step with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Marshall County
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Marshall County?
No. A hospital or physician can share names they work with often. You may still compare any Medicare-certified hospice that will come to the patient’s address. Calling for information does not enroll you.
Should we contact more than one hospice about Marshall County?
Yes. Compare who covers the exact address, how soon a nurse can get there, and who answers after hours. A referral is a starting point, not a requirement to use one brand.
Can hospice care be provided at home in Marshall County?
Yes. Most hospice care happens where the patient already lives — a house or apartment, or assisted living, memory care, or a nursing facility. Ask the team to confirm that specific address, not only the city or county name.
How quickly can hospice start in Marshall County?
When hospice is medically appropriate, many teams begin within about 24–48 hours, and some can start the same day when staffing allows. Ask who comes first and how a night call is handled. Then verify by phone.
Is Marshall County one hospital town?
No. Guntersville and Boaz have the two campuses families name. Albertville is its own city between them.
Does Marshall County include Huntsville?
No. Huntsville is in Madison County.
