Find the Right Hospice Care in Craighead County
About 6 hospices currently serve Craighead County, including 1 nonprofit and 1 with a dedicated inpatient facility. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Craighead County is wider than Jonesboro. St. Bernards Medical Center and NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital are both in Jonesboro. A night visit to Brookland or Bay is not the same as a visit inside Jonesboro. Use the Jonesboro page when the home is inside that city. Use this county page when the address is another community in Craighead 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. Lake City, Bono, and Brookland are the county asks people skip.
We are a free, independent resource created by healthcare professionals to help Arkansas 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 Craighead County
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Craighead 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 Craighead 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 Craighead 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 Craighead 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.
Which page if the home is in Jonesboro?
The Jonesboro page.
Does this county include Paragould?
No. Paragould is in Greene County.
