Find the Right Hospice Care in Madison, Mississippi
About 26 hospices currently serve Madison. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Finding hospice care in Madison often begins after a Jackson hospital, then the drive north on I-55 past Ridgeland. Names you hear on the hospital floor are a useful starting list for your calls — not the only hospice you can choose. I-55, Old Canton Road, and Hoy Road are the night routes. Madison is north of Ridgeland and is not the same city. Use this page to compare Medicare-certified hospices that report serving Madison, then confirm the neighborhood. Ridgeland, Jackson, and Canton have their own pages. Madison County is wider than the city of Madison.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Madison
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Madison?
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 Madison?
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 Madison?
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 Madison?
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 Merit Health Madison in the city of Madison?
No. That hospital is in Canton. The city of Madison is farther south, between Ridgeland and Canton, and people leave Jackson hospitals to come home here.
Is Madison the same page as Madison County?
No. This page is the city. Madison County also includes Canton, Ridgeland, and smaller towns. Use the county page when the address is outside those cities.
Hospice Care in Madison
Finding hospice care in Madison
Say the city of Madison. Madison County is a bigger place, and Canton is a different town. 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 Madison
Most hospice in Madison is at home in a subdivision off I-55 or Old Canton Road. A short inpatient stay is for symptoms that cannot be managed at home. Ask which bed they would use and how long the night drive is from the office they name.
Local considerations for Madison families
The city of Madison has no hospital of its own. Merit Health Madison is in Canton, the county seat, not in the city of Madison. Families usually leave the University of Mississippi Medical Center, St. Dominic, or Mississippi Baptist Medical Center in Jackson.
Ridgeland is the city between Madison and Jackson. A team that covers Ridgeland may still say no to a Madison street, or the other way around. Canton is farther north and has its own page. Say the city of Madison, not just Madison County.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- The city of Madison is not Madison County
- Merit Health Madison is in Canton, not in the city of Madison
- Ridgeland and Canton have their own pages
- I-55 north of County Line is the night drive
This page is focused on Madison itself. Nearby cities and Madison 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 Madison County, Ridgeland, Canton, Gluckstadt, Central Mississippi.
