Hospice Savannah, Inc. is a not for profit hospice founded by the community in 1979, offering a continuum of care from palliative support and caregiver support following the initial diagnosis of a serious progressive illness; hospice care when there is a prognosis of six months or less; and bereavement support for patients’ loved ones and for anyone in the community.

The only hospice in the Coastal Empire to be accredited by the Joint Commission we serve patients throughout Bryan, Chatham, Effingham, Long and Liberty counties. It is a member agency of the United Way of the Coastal Empire, the National Partnership for Hospice Innovation and the Georgia Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. It has affiliations with many academic programs in the Savannah area and offers education and residency opportunities for nurses, medical residents, social workers and more.

The homelike inpatient facility located at 1352 Eisenhower Drive is available to hospice patients for medical issues that cannot be resolved at home and provides respite for weary caregivers. Under the guidance of full-time medical directors, board-certified in hospice and palliative care, more than 125 volunteers and 125 full and part-time staff are committed to providing extraordinary care.

The Demere Center for Living at 6000 Business Center Drive is home to the Hospice Savannah Foundation and community-supported programming: Full Circle Grief and Loss; the Steward Center for Palliative Care and the Edel Caregiver Institute. The Foundation funds a full-time music therapy program and full-time massage therapy program and the hospice offers robust “We Honor Veterans” and “Pet Peace of Mind” programs.
