Find the Right Hospice Care in Meridian, Mississippi
About 16 hospices currently serve Meridian. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Finding hospice care in Meridian often begins after Anderson Regional Medical Center or Ochsner Rush, both in Meridian. Names you hear on the hospital floor are a useful starting list for your calls — not the only hospice you can choose. I-20, I-59, and 22nd Avenue split the city. A house in west Meridian is a different night call from one toward the Alabama line or north of the interstate.

Families in Meridian 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 Meridian
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Meridian?
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 Meridian?
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 Meridian?
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 Meridian?
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.
Are Anderson and Rush the same hospital?
No. Anderson Regional Medical Center and Ochsner Rush are both in Meridian, and they are different campuses. Say which one discharged your family.
Does a Meridian team cover a house in Alabama?
This page is for Meridian and, more widely, Lauderdale County. An Alabama address is a different state. Say the state and the street when you call.
Hospice Care in Meridian
Finding hospice care in Meridian
Two hospitals in one city still means two starting lists. Confirm the street before you enroll. 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 Meridian
Most hospice in Meridian is at home or in a care facility in the city. A short inpatient stay is for a symptom crisis. Ask which bed they would use and whether the night nurse is based in Meridian.
Local considerations for Meridian families
Meridian is the Lauderdale County seat on the Alabama line. Anderson Regional Medical Center and Ochsner Rush are both here. People sometimes mix the two campuses because both sit in the same city. Say which one.
A discharge can send a family home to a Lauderdale County road, or across the line into Alabama. This page is for a Meridian address. If the house is in another town, or in Alabama, say that before you compare. Ask which office a night nurse would leave from.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Anderson Regional and Ochsner Rush are both in Meridian
- They are different campuses
- Lauderdale County covers the towns outside the city
- I-20 and I-59 are different night drives
This page is focused on Meridian itself. Nearby cities and Lauderdale 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 Lauderdale County, Marion, Central Mississippi.
