Other important resources for Gwinnett County families

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 Gwinnett County
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Gwinnett 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 Gwinnett 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 Gwinnett 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 Gwinnett 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 Buford always Gwinnett County?
No. Buford sits on the line with Hall County, so two Buford addresses can belong to two counties. Ask someone to check the street against the county, not just the city name. If the house is in Hall, start on the Hall County page even if you shop in Gwinnett or use a Gwinnett hospital. The hospice has to visit the county where the patient sleeps.
We live in Suwanee but the hospital was in Fulton. Which county page do we use?
Use Gwinnett if the home is in Gwinnett. Suwanee, Sugar Hill, Duluth, Lawrenceville, Snellville, Lilburn, Norcross, and Peachtree Corners are Gwinnett cities even though the county is part of metro Atlanta. A Fulton discharge does not move the house. Ask the hospice whether it staffs your ZIP inside Gwinnett on evenings and weekends.
Hospice Care in Gwinnett County
Finding hospice care in Gwinnett County
The county seat is Lawrenceville, and Northside Hospital Gwinnett is the hospital many families name first. Others leave Northside Hospital Duluth or Piedmont Eastside in Snellville. The county also includes Peachtree Corners, Norcross, Sugar Hill, Suwanee, and Lilburn, and those are not the same route as a Lawrenceville subdivision. Buford crosses into Hall County, and Loganville crosses into Walton County, so a city name on the mailbox is not enough. Ask the team to confirm the county of the house and the ZIP codes it will staff day and night. A planner who knows Fulton hospitals is still guessing until someone checks Gwinnett coverage for your street.
What families often compare across the county
When you call, ask about:
- Confirm Buford is the Hall side or the Gwinnett side
- Confirm Loganville is the Walton side or the Gwinnett side
- Ask which Gwinnett cities the team visits after hours
- Keep Fulton hospitals from deciding a Gwinnett address
Where hospice care happens in Gwinnett County
Most hospice in Gwinnett County happens where the patient already lives, in Lawrenceville, Duluth, Snellville, or another city in the county. A short inpatient stay is for symptoms that cannot be managed in that house, not a long-term nursing-home bed. Ask which bed they would use near Northside Hospital Gwinnett, Northside Hospital Duluth, or Piedmont Eastside, and how a night transfer works from your ZIP.
Local considerations for Gwinnett County families
This directory currently lists about 107 Medicare-certified hospices that serve Gwinnett County. That count is who can come to an address here, not how many offices sit inside one city.
Those cities still get called Lawrenceville. Ask which campus the discharge names, and whether the nurse is based in Lawrenceville, Duluth, or Snellville. A Sugar Hill house and a Snellville house are not the same night. Lawrenceville, Duluth, and Snellville are three different hospital nights.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Confirm the exact street or ZIP in Gwinnett County — 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
- Use the Metro Atlanta hub only to scan, then come back to the patient’s city or county
This page is the county-wide list for Gwinnett County. Use a city page when you already know the community, or Metro Atlanta only to scan the wider region.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Peachtree Corners, Duluth, Lawrenceville, Sugar Hill, Metro Atlanta.
