Monroe County is south of Macon, with its seat in Forsyth. Piedmont Walton Hospital is in Monroe. US-78 runs through the county, and a house in town is a different night from a house toward Loganville, Good Hope, or Social Circle. Loganville straddles Walton and Gwinnett. If the house is on the Gwinnett side, Piedmont Eastside in Snellville may be the campus they used. Ask for Walton County and the city of Monroe. A search that lands in Monroe County will show the wrong cities. This Monroe is Walton County. Monroe County is south of Macon and has a different hospital. Ask how long a nurse takes to reach that Monroe address after dark, not how long the drive to the hospital looked in the daytime. Open the tighter city or county page that matches the driveway before anyone enrolls.

Every listing here is a Medicare-certified hospice that reports serving Monroe. The office might be elsewhere in Georgia — that is common. When you call, share your loved one’s address so the team can confirm they can come to you. FindHospices.com is free for families.
Other important resources for Monroe families
Families in Monroe often discover that choosing a hospice is only one part of the journey. Questions about funeral arrangements, cremation, estate planning, elder law, probate, advance directives, veterans’ benefits, and other important decisions frequently arise at the same time.
Placements are limited and selective — we review applications and only accept organizations that meet our standards for this section. Listings are paid advertising, not recommendations or endorsements. Families review the information and choose professionals for themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Monroe
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Monroe?
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 Monroe?
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 Monroe?
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 Monroe?
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 the city of Monroe in Monroe County?
No. The city of Monroe is the seat of Walton County, in East Central Georgia, and Piedmont Walton is the hospital in town. Monroe County is a different county in Middle Georgia. The similar name is a filing error waiting to happen. Say Walton County, Georgia, in the first sentence. Ask whether the team covers the city of Monroe after dark. Keep Middle Georgia's Monroe County off the referral.
Does Piedmont Walton assign our hospice?
No. The hospital is in the city of Monroe and can explain hospice and offer names. You still choose who comes to the house. Ask which Medicare-certified hospices accept a Walton County address in the city, what the first home visit covers, and who answers overnight. If the patient actually lives in Loganville, which splits Walton and Gwinnett, do not finish the plan on a Monroe form.
Hospice Care in Monroe
Finding hospice care in Monroe
The name collision is worth a full sentence on every call. The city of Monroe is the seat of Walton County. Piedmont Walton can start a hospice referral and still not choose the agency. Ask whether a Medicare-certified hospice visits City of Monroe addresses in Walton after dark. Loganville, which straddles Walton and Gwinnett, is not this city. If the house is Loganville, say so. Ask what the first day at home includes after a Piedmont Walton discharge. Put Walton on the chart and keep Monroe County off it. A call does not enroll you.
What to compare
When you call, ask about:
- The city of Monroe is the Walton County seat, with Piedmont Walton in town
- Monroe County is a different county in Middle Georgia
- Say Walton County so the chart does not follow the wrong Monroe
- Loganville is not this city, even on the Walton side of that line
Where hospice care happens in Monroe
Hospice for a Monroe address is home care after Piedmont Walton, not a transfer into Monroe County. A short inpatient stay is a symptom crisis, not a nursing-home placement. Ask whether a crisis bed would be at Piedmont Walton, and whether the on-call nurse is based in town or farther out in Walton. Loganville is a different referral.
Local considerations for Monroe families
This directory currently lists about 63 Medicare-certified hospices that serve Monroe. That count is who can come to an address here, not how many offices sit inside one city.
As a county seat, Monroe holds the courthouse and the hospital people in Walton already use. That makes the city feel like the whole county. It is not. Other Walton addresses, and the Walton portion of Loganville, need their own confirmation. Middle Georgia's Monroe County will not appear on a Walton water bill, but it can appear on a careless referral because the city name travels. Say Walton County, city of Monroe, Georgia. East Central Georgia is the region for this seat. If someone offers an agency from a different Monroe, start the county question over.
Piedmont Walton is the local campus, and families still get sent to Piedmont Athens, NGMC Barrow, or Piedmont Eastside and then drive home to Walton. Those are different counties. Social Circle and the east side of Walton are a longer visit than the streets near the hospital. If the home is in Loganville, check the county before you open Snellville. If the home is in Forsyth, that is Monroe County, not this city. Say Walton out loud. Ask whether the nurse is based at Piedmont Walton and how long a county road takes once you leave US-78.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Confirm the exact street or ZIP in Monroe — a city or region name on a brochure is not coverage
- Ask how long a nurse typically takes to reach that address after hours
- Clarify assisted-living or nursing-facility relationships if care would start in a building
- Open the Walton County page when the home sits outside the city limits
- Use the East Central Georgia hub only to scan, then come back to the patient’s city or county
This page is focused on Monroe itself. Nearby cities and Walton County can help if your family is looking across more than one community.
