Find the Right Hospice Care in Hinds County

About 32 hospices currently serve Hinds County, 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. Hinds County is wider than the city of Jackson. The University of Mississippi Medical Center, St. Dominic Hospital, Mississippi Baptist Medical Center, and Merit Health Central are in Jackson. Clinton has no hospital of its own. A nurse who can reach Fondren may still be far from Clinton, Byram, or a county road after midnight. Use the Jackson page when the home is inside that city. Use this county page when the address is another community in Hinds 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.

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 Hinds County

Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Hinds 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 Hinds 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 Hinds 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 Hinds 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.

Does Hinds County include Flowood or Ridgeland?

No. Flowood is in Rankin County. Ridgeland is in Madison County. Hinds County includes Jackson, Clinton, and Byram.

Which page for a Clinton address?

Use the Clinton page. Use this county page when the home is outside Jackson and Clinton.

Hospice Care in Hinds County

Finding hospice care in Hinds County

Hinds County is Jackson and more than Jackson. Clinton and Byram are different addresses. 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 Hinds County

Most hospice in Hinds County happens at home or in a facility where the person already lives. A short stay with a nurse through the night is for symptoms that cannot be managed there. Ask which bed they would use from a Jackson street versus a county road.

Local considerations for Hinds County families

Jackson and Clinton are the cities with their own pages. Byram and the smaller communities are still Hinds County addresses. Say the city if there is one, and the street either way.

Families leave a Jackson campus and go west to Clinton or south toward Byram. Those are different night drives on I-20 and I-55. A listing that says Hinds County has to be willing to come to the actual road.

When you are comparing, it often helps to:

  • Jackson and Clinton have their own pages
  • The major hospitals are in Jackson
  • Byram is not a Jackson street
  • Ask about I-55 and I-20 after midnight

This page is the county-wide list for Hinds County. Use a city page when you already know the community, or Central Mississippi 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 Jackson, Clinton, Byram, Terry, Central Mississippi.
