Find the Right Hospice Care in The Delta
About 16 hospices currently serve The Delta, including 2 nonprofits. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. The Delta is the Mississippi River side of the state, from the Tunica casinos and DeSoto County down through Greenville and the farmland south of U.S. 82. Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto in Southaven and Delta Health-The Medical Center in Greenville are different discharges, hours apart. A team that can reach Southaven or Olive Branch is not the team that will automatically drive to a Washington County road after midnight. DeSoto County stays in this region. Open the city or county page for the address before you compare.
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.

Families across The Delta often discover that choosing a hospice is only one part of the journey. Questions about funeral arrangements, cremation, estate planning, elder law, probate, advance directives, veterans’ benefits, and other important decisions frequently arise at the same time.
Placements are limited and selective — we review applications and only accept organizations that meet our standards for this section. Listings are paid advertising, not recommendations or endorsements. Families review the information and choose professionals for themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in The Delta
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in The Delta?
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 The Delta?
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 The Delta?
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 The Delta?
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 DeSoto County part of the Delta here?
Yes. DeSoto County, including Southaven and Olive Branch, is in this region. It is still a long way from Greenville.
Does one Delta listing cover every county?
No. A region is not a service area. Ask about the county and the street.
Hospice Care in The Delta
Finding hospice care in The Delta
The Delta on this site runs from DeSoto County to the river counties farther south. The town still decides the night drive. FindHospices.com is free for families.
What families often compare across the region
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 across The Delta
Most hospice in this region happens at home. A short stay with a nurse through the night is for symptoms that cannot be managed there, and the bed may be far from the house. Ask which bed they would use from that county.
Local considerations for The Delta families
Southaven, Olive Branch, Horn Lake, and Hernando are the DeSoto cities with their own pages. Greenville is the hospital city farther south. The towns between them are long drives on U.S. 61 and U.S. 82, not suburbs of one city.
People use the Delta to mean a culture and a landscape. For a night call it is a set of counties. Say the town. A Memphis discharge can still be a DeSoto address, and a Greenville discharge is a different plan.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- DeSoto County is in this region
- Southaven and Greenville are different hospital cities
- U.S. 61 and U.S. 82 are long night drives
- Open the city or county page for the address
The Delta is a regional hub, not a coverage promise. Open the patient’s city or county before you enroll.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Southaven, Olive Branch, Greenville, Horn Lake, DeSoto County, Washington County, Coahoma County.
