Find the Right Hospice Care in Columbus, Mississippi
About 17 hospices currently serve Columbus, including 2 nonprofits and 1 with a dedicated inpatient facility. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Finding hospice care in Columbus often begins after Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle, which is in Columbus. Names you hear on the hospital floor are a useful starting list for your calls — not the only hospice you can choose. Highway 45, Military Road, and the river bridges are different night drives. A house in east Columbus is not the same call as one toward the river or out past the hospital.

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 Columbus
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Columbus?
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 Columbus?
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 Columbus?
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 Columbus?
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 OCH in Columbus?
No. OCH Regional Medical Center is in Starkville. The Columbus hospital is Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle.
Does Golden Triangle mean one hospice area?
It is a name people use for Columbus, Starkville, and West Point. The nurse still has to reach one street. Use the page for that city.

- Medicare quality and family-experience information on each profile
Where hospice care happens in Columbus
Most hospice in Columbus is at home or in a care facility in the city. A short stay with a nurse on site is for symptoms that cannot be managed at home. Ask which bed they would use and who comes after midnight.
Local considerations for Columbus families
Columbus is the Lowndes County seat. Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle is here. OCH Regional Medical Center is in Starkville, a short drive west, and it is a different hospital. Say which one discharged your family.
Families from the Golden Triangle come to this hospital and go home to other towns. If the address is in Starkville, use that page. If it is a Lowndes County road outside Columbus, say the community. A night nurse based at the hospital side of town may not be close to the river.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Baptist Golden Triangle is in Columbus
- OCH is in Starkville, not Columbus
- Starkville has its own page
- Highway 45 and the river are different night drives
This page is focused on Columbus itself. Nearby cities and Lowndes 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 Lowndes County, Caledonia, Crawford, Artesia, North Mississippi.
