Find the Right Hospice Care in Savannah, Georgia
About 18 hospices currently serve Savannah, including 4 nonprofits and 2 with dedicated inpatient facilities. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Savannah is the Chatham County seat in Coastal Georgia, not a stand-in for the whole coast. Memorial Health, Candler Hospital, and St. Joseph’s Hospital are the campuses families name. Pooler, Garden City, and Port Wentworth are still Chatham, and they are a different drive once you leave the historic district.
We are a free, independent resource created by healthcare professionals to help Georgia 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.

Every listing here is a Medicare-certified hospice that reports serving Savannah. 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 Savannah families
Families in Savannah 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 Savannah
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Savannah?
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 Savannah?
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 Savannah?
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 Savannah?
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.
Are Wilmington Island and Pooler the same night drive as downtown Savannah?
No. Both are in Chatham County, and neither is the historic district. Ask whether a team that covers downtown will come to Wilmington Island or to Pooler after dark, and how long that trip takes. A team that covers one of those places may still be a long drive to the others. Share the island, the west-side address, or the square, not only the city name.
Is Richmond Hill in Richmond County?
No. Richmond Hill is in Bryan County, south of Savannah. Richmond County is Augusta, in East Georgia, and the similar name is only a coincidence. Ask whether the team covers a Bryan County address. Do not use an Augusta or Richmond County conversation to plan care for a Richmond Hill driveway.
Hospice Care in Savannah
Finding hospice care in Savannah
Coastal drives fool people who only know the squares. Families often start hospice questions after Memorial Health or St. Joseph's/Candler. They do not assign a hospice. Chatham County includes the historic city, Wilmington Island, and Pooler, and those are not the same trip after dark. Richmond Hill is the name trap: it sounds like Richmond County, which is Augusta, and it is actually Bryan County. Ask whether the team covers the Chatham address, and ask again if the home is in Bryan County. A team that covers downtown Savannah may still be a long drive to Pooler or Wilmington Island. Set Medicare-certified hospices next to each other and call with the address in front of you. Nothing about that call enrolls your family.
What to compare
When you call, ask about:
- Downtown Savannah, Wilmington Island, and Pooler are different night drives in Chatham
- Richmond Hill is Bryan County, not Richmond County and not Augusta
- Ask whether the nurse is used to island and marsh addresses
- Memorial Health or St. Joseph's/Candler names are a starting list, not an assignment
Where hospice care happens in Savannah
Most hospice in Savannah is at home, on an island, or in a Chatham facility. Short inpatient care is a symptom crisis, a hospice house or a contracted hospital bed, not a nursing-home placement. Ask which bed they use near Memorial Health or St. Joseph's/Candler, and how a night transfer works from Wilmington Island or Pooler if that is the address.
Local considerations for Savannah families
This directory currently lists about 18 Medicare-certified hospices that serve Savannah. That count is who can come to an address here, not how many offices sit inside one city.
Richmond Hill is Bryan County, not Richmond County. The islands are a bridge night. Ask whether the team covers the island or only the Savannah core, and open the Bryan or Effingham page if the house is already outside Chatham. Ask which of the three Savannah campuses the papers name before you compare teams.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Confirm the exact street or ZIP in Savannah — 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 Chatham County page when the home sits outside the city limits
- Use the Coastal Georgia hub only to scan, then come back to the patient’s city or county
This page is focused on Savannah itself. Nearby cities and Chatham County can help if your family is looking across more than one community.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Chatham County, Pooler, Wilmington Island, Port Wentworth, Coastal Georgia.
