Find the Right Hospice Care in Stonecrest, Georgia
About 110 hospices currently serve Stonecrest, including 11 nonprofits and 5 with dedicated inpatient facilities. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Stonecrest is a DeKalb County city in Metro Atlanta, on the east side, around the mall and the Lithonia line. There is no hospital in Stonecrest. Emory Hillandale is in Lithonia, which is the campus families use. Emory Decatur, Piedmont Atlanta, and Grady are farther west. I-20 is the road in, and Turner Hill, Panola, and Klondike are the roads that decide whether a night visit is close or not. Stonecrest is not Rockdale County. Conyers and Piedmont Rockdale are the next county east. A Stonecrest address is often mislabeled Lithonia or Atlanta. Ask for DeKalb County and Stonecrest. A team that knows Emory’s Clifton campus may still be a long drive out I-20 after dark. Turner Hill after an I-20 wreck is the delay to ask about, not the mall entrance at noon.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Stonecrest
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Stonecrest?
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 Stonecrest?
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 Stonecrest?
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 Stonecrest?
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 Stonecrest the same city as Decatur?
No. Stonecrest is in southeast DeKalb County and has been a city since 2017. Decatur is a different DeKalb city. Hospice coverage does not transfer because both places share a county. Ask for Stonecrest by name and have them read the street back. If the person on the phone keeps saying Decatur, pause and correct it before you go further.
Which hospital in Stonecrest handles hospice discharge?
None. Stonecrest does not have a hospital in the city, so do not search for one. Families are often discharged from hospitals in other parts of metro Atlanta, then return here. Ask the hospice about the house in Stonecrest, not about a hospital campus inside the city. Whoever suggested a team still needs to show they can reach this ZIP after you are home.
Hospice Care in Stonecrest
Finding hospice care in Stonecrest
There is no hospital in Stonecrest, so families are not discharging from a campus inside the city. They may come home from hospitals elsewhere in DeKalb County or metro Atlanta, and those hospitals may suggest hospices. Bring the suggestion home and check it against the Stonecrest address. Southeast DeKalb is a wide area. Lithonia is a related place name, not a second word for the city of Stonecrest. Decatur is a different city. Ask the hospice to confirm Stonecrest, the ZIP, and whether a nurse can arrive at night without treating the call as a Decatur visit. A DeKalb County yes is only the beginning.
What to compare
When you call, ask about:
- Confirmation that the address is the city of Stonecrest, not Decatur
- How they treat a Lithonia-area description versus the Stonecrest city limit
- Night arrival in southeast DeKalb when no hospital is inside the city
- A separate yes if backup care would be in Redan or another DeKalb address
Where hospice care happens in Stonecrest
Visits belong at the Stonecrest home or a facility with a Stonecrest address. There is no hospital in the city to serve as the care site. If someone offers a Decatur or Lithonia assumption, correct the city before they book the nurse. DeKalb County is the county; Stonecrest is the place.
Local considerations for Stonecrest families
This directory currently lists about 110 Medicare-certified hospices that serve Stonecrest. That count is who can come to an address here, not how many offices sit inside one city.
Stonecrest has been a city since 2017. Mail and conversation still drift toward Lithonia or a general southeast DeKalb description. Use the city on the address when you call. Redan is a nearby mailing community, and Decatur is farther into DeKalb; neither one is Stonecrest. If a relative’s house in another DeKalb city is the backup plan, ask about that address separately. Night driving from north DeKalb down to Stonecrest is not the same trip as a visit already based in this part of the county. Say southeast DeKalb and then say the city.
The mall side of Stonecrest and the neighborhoods south toward the Rockdale and Henry lines do not share a shortcut. Lithonia is where Emory Hillandale sits, so a Lithonia discharge can still be a Stonecrest house. Arabia Mountain and the south side of the city feel rural compared with the I-20 exits and they take longer at night. If the house is already in Conyers, open Rockdale. If it is Redan or Belvedere Park, those are closer to Decatur. Say the city on the deed. Ask whether the nurse would come from Hillandale’s side of DeKalb or from a Decatur office, and how I-20 changes that answer.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Confirm the exact street or ZIP in Stonecrest — 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 DeKalb County page when the home sits outside the city limits
- Use the Metro Atlanta hub only to scan, then come back to the patient’s city or county
This page is focused on Stonecrest itself. Nearby cities and DeKalb 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 DeKalb County, Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Tucker, Metro Atlanta.
