Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Richmond County
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Evans part of Richmond County?
No. Evans, Martinez, and Grovetown are in Columbia County. They function as Augusta suburbs, and families use Augusta hospitals, but the home county is Columbia if the house is there. Richmond County is Augusta itself. Ask the hospice to say which county it will visit. If you are standing in Evans, switch to the Columbia County page before you compare agencies.
The hospital is in Augusta and the house is in North Augusta. Can we use this page?
Use this page only for a home in Richmond County, Georgia. North Augusta is in South Carolina, across the river from Augusta. Wellstar MCG Health, Doctors Hospital of Augusta, and Piedmont Augusta discharge to both states. A Georgia hospice enrollment is not a South Carolina plan. Ask the hospital for a hospice that can serve the state and the street where the patient will be.

Finding hospice care in Richmond County
Families leaving Wellstar MCG Health, Doctors Hospital of Augusta, or Piedmont Augusta are often handed a hospice name before anyone has said which side of the river the patient is going home to. Richmond County is Augusta. North Augusta is South Carolina. Evans, Martinez, and Grovetown are Columbia County, even though people treat them as Augusta suburbs. Ask the hospice whether it is licensed and staffed for the Georgia address you named, and whether Evans is inside or outside its daily route. A South Carolina discharge plan will not visit a Richmond County house under a Georgia enrollment, and the reverse is just as easy to get wrong. Say the county first.
What families often compare across the county
When you call, ask about:
- Keep North Augusta on the South Carolina side of the river
- Send Evans, Martinez, and Grovetown to Columbia County
- Ask which Augusta ZIPs the team covers at night
- Match the license to Georgia if the house is in Richmond
Where hospice care happens in Richmond County
Most hospice in Richmond County is at an Augusta home or facility on the Georgia side of the river. A short inpatient stay is for symptoms that cannot be managed there. Ask which bed they use near Wellstar MCG Health, Doctors Hospital of Augusta, or Piedmont Augusta. If the family is thinking of Evans or North Augusta, those are not Richmond addresses.
