Getting Started

Anyone can make a referral for hospice care. In fact, some patients refer themselves. We will contact the patient’s physician to ensure that hospice care is the best choice. Once it has been decided to consider our care, the patient and family are asked to meet with a Hospice Savannah representative to determine what the patient’s and family’s needs are and explain what services we can provide.

The initial visit can be completed at the patient’s home, in the hospital, assisted living facility, long-term care facility, or wherever the patient and family deem convenient. On admission, the patient and family are asked to sign various forms to enter into the program.  These forms are required by government or accrediting organizations, and will be explained to you. The Hospice Savannah Team develops a plan of care that meets each patient’s individual needs.
