Find the Right Hospice Care in Madison County
About 26 hospices currently serve Madison County. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Madison County is wider than Ridgeland or the city of Madison. Merit Health Madison is in Canton, the county seat. Ridgeland and the city of Madison do not have their own hospitals. Families there usually leave a Jackson campus. I-55 runs the length of the county, and a Ridgeland yes is not a Canton yes. Use the Canton page when the home is inside that city. Use this county page when the address is another community in Madison 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 Madison County
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Madison 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 Madison 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 Madison 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 Madison 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 city of Madison the same as Madison County?
No. The city is one place on I-55. The county also includes Canton, Ridgeland, and smaller communities.
Where is Merit Health Madison?
In Canton, not in the city of Madison and not in Ridgeland.
