Find the Right Hospice Care in Lafayette County
About 28 hospices currently serve Lafayette 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. Lafayette County is wider than Oxford. Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi is in Oxford. It is not the Tupelo hospital and it is not the Southaven hospital. University Avenue and Highway 6 are different night drives from a county road past the city. Use the Oxford page when the home is inside that city. Use this county page when the address is another community in Lafayette 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 Lafayette County
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Lafayette 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 Lafayette 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 Lafayette 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 Lafayette 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 the Tupelo hospital in Lafayette County?
No. Tupelo is in Lee County. Lafayette County's hospital is in Oxford.
Which page for an Oxford apartment?
Use the Oxford page. Use this county page when the home is outside the city.
Hospice Care in Lafayette County
Finding hospice care in Lafayette County
Oxford is the hospital city. The county is the rest of the drive. 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 Lafayette County
Most hospice in Lafayette County is at home or in housing in Oxford. A short stay with a nurse on site is for a symptom crisis. Ask which bed they would use.
Local considerations for Lafayette County families
Oxford has its own page. The rest of Lafayette County is smaller towns and county roads. An apartment near the university and a house outside Oxford are not the same visit.
Say Oxford only when the address is in Oxford. A team that covers the campus area may not cover a Highway 6 address after midnight.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- The Oxford hospital is Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi
- North Mississippi Medical Center is in Tupelo
- Oxford has its own page
- Campus streets and county roads are different night drives
This page is the county-wide list for Lafayette County. Use a city page when you already know the community, or North 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 Oxford, Taylor, Abbeville, North Mississippi.
