PruittHealth Hospice is our family-focused approach to end-of-life care that helps patients live their final days well cared for, comfortable, and surrounded by their loved ones.
With a team that includes nurses, social workers, certified nursing assistants, chaplains, and volunteers, PruittHealth delivers individualized hospice care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the setting of the patient’s choice.
Hospice care does not hasten or postpone death. Instead, it prioritizes caring for the person, rather than the disease, with a focus on quality of life. Hospice is not a place; it is a specialized service approach to end-of-life care. Our hospice care is always family-centered, involving the patient and family in the decision-making process. PruittHealth delivers hospice care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the setting tailored to each patient’s individual needs.
Hospice care is designed for patients who have any disease that has a prognosis of 6 months or less to live. Our hospice experts provide compassionate care for many with life-limiting illnesses and conditions.
AIDS | Alzheimer’s Disease/Dementia | ALS (“Lou Gehrig’s Disease”) | Cancer | Cardiomyopathy | Congestive Heart Failure | Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) | Emphysema | Heart Disease | Liver Disease | Renal or Respiratory/Pulmonary Disease (end stage) | Stroke/CVA (Cerebral Vascular Accident)
Palliative care is specialized care for those with an acute or chronic illness and is focused on symptom management and stress relief. Patients may have palliative care at any stage of their illness and may receive curative therapy at the same time. The goal is to reduce a patient’s suffering, provide ongoing treatment, and promote the best quality of life for those with serious illnesses.
We deliver expert health services on site or in home. With locations across Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, we’re never far when you need care. Learn more about our care options.

Yes, Medicare Part A covers hospice care for eligible patients. To qualify, a doctor must certify that the patient has a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less. Medicare covers services such as nursing care, pain management, counseling, medical equipment, and medications related to the terminal illness. The goal of hospice care is to provide comfort and support rather than curative treatment.
Hospice provides compassionate care for individuals facing terminal illnesses. Services focus on comfort and quality of life, including:
Pain and symptom management.
Emotional and spiritual support for patients and families.
Assistance with daily living tasks.
Counseling and bereavement support for loved ones. Hospice care is typically provided at home but can also be delivered in hospice facilities, hospitals, or nursing homes.
Hospice care is provided in the home, nursing home, assisted living, personal care home, and hospitals, or wherever the patient calls home.
Yes, a person can request hospice care if they meet eligibility criteria. A doctor must certify the patient’s terminal illness and limited life expectancy. Individuals can contact a hospice provider directly or discuss this option with their healthcare team.
No, palliative care and hospice are not the same, though they share a focus on comfort and quality of life. Palliative care is available to patients at any stage of a serious illness and can be provided alongside curative treatments. Hospice, on the other hand, is specifically for patients nearing the end of life who are no longer pursuing curative measures.
