Find the Right Hospice Care in Metro Atlanta
About 102 hospices currently serve Metro Atlanta, including 4 nonprofits and 4 with dedicated inpatient facilities. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Metro Atlanta is the map region for Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, and the south and west suburban counties. It is not a service area. Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, and Johns Creek do not share a night route with South Fulton, Marietta, Lawrenceville, or Newnan’s neighbors in Fayette and Coweta. Grady, Emory, Piedmont Atlanta, and Northside are Atlanta and north Fulton campuses. Wellstar Kennestone is Marietta. Wellstar Cobb is Austell. Northside Gwinnett is Lawrenceville. Piedmont Henry is Stockbridge. Southern Regional is Riverdale. A team that can reach one of those doors may still not reach the county on the other side of I-285 after midnight. Open the patient’s city or county. The region is only a way to scan. Open the county after you open this map. Metro Atlanta is too many hospitals and too many night drives for one list.

Every listing here is a Medicare-certified hospice that reports serving Metro Atlanta. 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 Metro Atlanta families
Families across Metro Atlanta 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 Metro Atlanta
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Metro Atlanta?
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 Metro Atlanta?
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 Metro Atlanta?
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 Metro Atlanta?
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 Forsyth County part of Metro Atlanta here?
No. Forsyth, including Cumming, is filed under Northeast Georgia on this site. Paulding, Bartow, and Coweta are also outside this region. Metro Atlanta here means Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, DeKalb, Clayton, Cherokee, Henry, Douglas, Fayette, and Rockdale. Open the county where the house is. A commute toward Alpharetta does not pull Forsyth into this hub.
The hospital said it serves metro Atlanta. Is that enough?
No. Grady, Emory, Piedmont, Northside, and Wellstar have many campuses, and families leave them for homes across county lines. Ask which county and which ZIP the hospice will visit, including weekends. Then open that county and city. The region is a map for finding pages. It is not the area a team enrolls when you say yes.
Hospice Care in Metro Atlanta
Finding hospice care in Metro Atlanta
The counties in this region are Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, DeKalb, Clayton, Cherokee, Henry, Douglas, Fayette, and Rockdale. Forsyth, Paulding, Bartow, and Coweta are common mistakes, and they are not in Metro Atlanta here. Forsyth is with Northeast Georgia. Paulding is with Northwest Georgia. A discharge from Grady, Emory, Piedmont, Northside, or Wellstar can send a patient home to any of those places, including counties outside this hub. Ask the hospice which county and which ZIP it will visit. Do not ask it whether it serves Metro Atlanta and accept a yes. There is no single metro team hiding behind the region name.
What families often compare across the region
When you call, ask about:
- Open the county, then the city, before you compare hospices
- Leave Forsyth, Paulding, Bartow, and Coweta out of this region
- Treat Grady, Emory, Piedmont, Northside, and Wellstar as discharge patterns, not coverage
- Ask which ZIP the team visits at night
Where hospice care happens across Metro Atlanta
Care still happens at a home or facility inside one county, not across Metro Atlanta as a whole. A short inpatient stay is a local crisis bed, not a regional placement. Grady, Emory, Piedmont, Northside, and Wellstar have many campuses. Ask which bed they would use for your county and city, and how a night call works there. Then open that county page.
Local considerations for Metro Atlanta families
This directory currently lists about 102 Medicare-certified hospices that serve Metro Atlanta. That count is who can come to an address here, not how many offices sit inside one city.
Inside the hub, counties still behave like counties. A north Fulton route is not a Clayton route, and a Cherokee referral is not a Cobb referral. Dunwoody stays DeKalb. Douglasville stays Douglas. Rockdale and Fayette need their own city and ZIP, just like Atlanta does. Hospital names repeat across campuses, so Grady, Emory, Piedmont, Northside, and Wellstar tell you where the stay happened, not who can drive to the house. Open the county page, then the city page, and ask about nights in that ZIP.
The county line is the fact that breaks a metro brochure. Mail that says Atlanta is often DeKalb. Johns Creek is Fulton and Peachtree Corners is Gwinnett. Woodstock is Cherokee and Marietta is Cobb. Union City is Fulton, not Union County. Fayetteville, Georgia, is not Fayetteville, North Carolina. South Fulton is its own city. There is no hospital in several of the largest suburbs, so the discharge papers name a campus in a different city from the house. Ask which campus, which county, and how long that driveway takes after dark. Then leave this region page. Enrolling from Metro Atlanta alone is how families get the wrong list.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Confirm the exact street or ZIP in Metro Atlanta — 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 patient’s city or county before you enroll — a region is not a service area
Metro Atlanta is a regional hub, not a coverage promise. Open the patient’s city or county before you enroll.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Atlanta, South Fulton, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Fulton County, Cobb County, DeKalb County.
