Find the Right Hospice Care in Oxford, Mississippi
About 28 hospices currently serve Oxford, including 2 nonprofits and 2 with dedicated inpatient facilities. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Finding hospice care in Oxford often begins after Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi, which is in Oxford. Names you hear on the hospital floor are a useful starting list for your calls — not the only hospice you can choose. University Avenue, Jackson Avenue, and Highway 6 are different night drives. A street near the university is not the same as a house toward the county line or out past the hospital.

Other important resources for Oxford families
Families in Oxford 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 Oxford
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Oxford?
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 Oxford?
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 Oxford?
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 Oxford?
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 the Tupelo hospital the Oxford hospital?
No. Oxford's hospital is Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi. North Mississippi Medical Center is in Tupelo. Say which campus.
Does an Oxford listing cover a county road?
Ask. Lafayette County is wider than the city. A night drive past Highway 6 is not the same as a street near the university.
Hospice Care in Oxford
Finding hospice care in Oxford
Start with the Oxford hospital, then confirm you are not using a Tupelo or Southaven plan for an Oxford street. 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 Oxford
Most hospice in Oxford is at home, in an apartment, or in a care facility in town. A short inpatient stay is for a symptom crisis. Ask which bed they would use and who comes if the call is after midnight.
Local considerations for Oxford families
Oxford is the Lafayette County seat. Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi is here. It is not North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo, and it is not the Southaven hospital. Families mix those Baptist and North Mississippi names.
Students, families, and older residents share the same streets and do not share the same kind of housing. An apartment near the university is a different visit from a house on a county road. If the home is outside Oxford, use the Lafayette County page and say the community.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi is in Oxford
- North Mississippi Medical Center is in Tupelo, not Oxford
- University Avenue and Highway 6 are different night drives
- Lafayette County is the page outside the city
This page is focused on Oxford itself. Nearby cities and Lafayette 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 Lafayette County, Taylor, Abbeville, North Mississippi.
