About 29 hospices currently serve DeSoto County, 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. DeSoto County is wider than Southaven. Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto is in Southaven. Methodist Olive Branch Hospital is in Olive Branch. Hernando, the county seat, has no hospital of its own. I-55 and U.S. 78 are different night drives, and a Memphis discharge can still be a DeSoto address. Use the Hernando page when the home is inside that city. Use this county page when the address is another community in DeSoto County, or when someone may leave a hospital for a home that is not in that city. Ask which team would send the first nurse to that street after the discharge desk closes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in DeSoto County
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in DeSoto County?
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 DeSoto County?
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 DeSoto County?
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 DeSoto County?
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 the DeSoto hospitals in Hernando?
No. Hernando is the county seat. The hospitals are in Southaven and Olive Branch.
Which page after a Memphis discharge?
The page for the Mississippi city where the person will be at night. Use this county page if that address is outside the cities.
Hospice Care in DeSoto County
Finding hospice care in DeSoto County
Four cities and a state line. The street still has to be in the plan. FindHospices.com is free for families.
What families often compare across the county
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 DeSoto County
Most hospice in DeSoto County is at home. A short inpatient stay is for a symptom crisis. Ask which bed they would use and whether the night nurse is coming from Southaven, Olive Branch, or farther away.
Local considerations for DeSoto County families
Southaven, Olive Branch, Horn Lake, and Hernando have their own pages. A county road between them is this page. Say the city when there is one.
Families cross into Memphis and come home to DeSoto. Say the Mississippi city so the plan is not written for a Tennessee ZIP. A team on Goodman Road is not automatically the team for Hernando or for U.S. 78 in Olive Branch.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Baptist DeSoto is in Southaven
- Methodist Olive Branch is in Olive Branch
- Hernando is the county seat
- A Memphis hospital can still mean a DeSoto address
This page is the county-wide list for DeSoto County. Use a city page when you already know the community, or The Delta only to scan the wider region.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Southaven, Olive Branch, Horn Lake, Hernando, The Delta.
