Hospice doesn’t mean giving up — it means choosing how to live the time that remains.
When treatment is no longer curative, hospice care focuses on providing patients comfort, dignity and peace.
Focusing on comfort and compassion
Studies show that patients who begin hospice care earlier can often live one to three months longer with better comfort, less pain and more clarity.
Tanner Hospice Care supports individuals with life-limiting illnesses by easing pain and symptoms while helping them make the most of each day.
Patients typically qualify if their physician determines a life expectancy of six months or less, but hospice care can continue as long as needed with ongoing certification.
A local team with care at its heart
Tanner Hospice provides a team of nurses, social workers, chaplains and volunteers who create individualized plans to meet physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
It’s about ensuring patients spend their days surrounded by care, not crisis — and families feel supported through every moment.
Tanner Hospice Care serves families across west Georgia.
