Find the Right Hospice Care in Jackson, Mississippi
About 32 hospices currently serve Jackson, 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 Jackson often begins after the University of Mississippi Medical Center, St. Dominic Hospital, Mississippi Baptist Medical Center, or Merit Health Central. Names you hear on the hospital floor are a useful starting list for your calls — not the only hospice you can choose. I-55, I-20, and State Street split the city into night drives that do not match. A nurse who can reach Fondren or Belhaven may still be a long way from South Jackson or a street near the airport. Use this page to compare Medicare-certified hospices that report serving Jackson, then confirm the neighborhood. Flowood, Ridgeland, and Clinton have their own pages. Byram is a different address from downtown Jackson.
We are a free, independent resource created by healthcare professionals to help Mississippi families navigate hospice and end-of-life decisions. We bring together hospice provider comparisons, Medicare quality data, our Hospice Education Center, and trusted community resources so families can better understand their options and take the next step with confidence.

Every listing here is a Medicare-certified hospice that reports serving Jackson. The office might be elsewhere in Mississippi — 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 Jackson families
Families in Jackson 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 Jackson
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Jackson?
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 Jackson?
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 Jackson?
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 Jackson?
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.
Does a Jackson listing cover Flowood or Ridgeland?
Do not assume it does. Flowood is in Rankin County and Ridgeland is in Madison County. Ask whether a nurse will come to that street after dark, and which office the nurse leaves from.
Are the Jackson hospitals the same starting point?
No. The University of Mississippi Medical Center, St. Dominic, Mississippi Baptist Medical Center, and Merit Health Central are different campuses. Say which one, then say the home address.
Hospice Care in Jackson
Finding hospice care in Jackson
A discharge from one of Jackson's hospitals is a starting list, not the only hospice a family can call. What matters is who can reach the real street after the desk closes. FindHospices.com is free for families.
What to compare
When you call, ask about:
- Whether the team covers the exact address, not only the city or county name
- Who would come after hours, and how long that usually takes
- What happens if symptoms cannot be managed at home
- Medicare quality and family-experience information on each profile
Where hospice care happens in Jackson
Most hospice in Jackson happens in the house, apartment, or nursing facility where the person already lives. A short stay somewhere with a nurse through the night is for symptoms that cannot be managed at home. Ask which bed they would use from that address, and who answers when pain breaks through at three in the morning.
Local considerations for Jackson families
Jackson is the state capital and the place most families mean when they say they were in the hospital. The campuses are not interchangeable. The University of Mississippi Medical Center sits on State Street. St. Dominic and Mississippi Baptist Medical Center are their own campuses. Merit Health Central is in the city too. Say which one discharged your family, then say the street you are going home to.
A team that visits north Jackson is not automatically the team for a house off Terry Road or near the airport. If the plan is to leave the hospital for Flowood, Ridgeland, Clinton, or a Rankin County address, open that page before you compare. Hinds County is the wider page when the home is outside the city limits.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- UMMC, St. Dominic, Mississippi Baptist, and Merit Health Central are different Jackson campuses
- Flowood and Ridgeland are Rankin and Madison and have their own pages
- Clinton is in Hinds County and is not a Jackson street
- Ask about I-55, I-20, and State Street after midnight
This page is focused on Jackson itself. Nearby cities and Hinds 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 Hinds County, Clinton, Byram, Terry, Central Mississippi.
