Find the Right Hospice Care in Jackson County
About 14 hospices currently serve Jackson County, including 1 nonprofit and 1 with a dedicated inpatient facility. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Jackson County is wider than Pascagoula. Singing River Hospital is in Pascagoula. Ocean Springs Hospital is in Ocean Springs. Gautier sits between them and has no hospital of its own. This is the coastal county, not the city of Jackson. U.S. 90 ties the cities together, and a Pascagoula yes is not an Ocean Springs yes. Use the Pascagoula page when the home is inside that city. Use this county page when the address is another community in Jackson 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 Jackson County
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Jackson 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 Jackson 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 Jackson 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 Jackson 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.
Is Jackson County where the city of Jackson is?
No. The city of Jackson is in Hinds County. This Jackson County is on the Gulf, with Pascagoula as the county seat.
Does one team cover Pascagoula and Ocean Springs?
Ask. They have different hospitals and different pages. The drive on U.S. 90 is real after midnight.
