Make a Referral
Anyone can request hospice services 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 of Central
Georgia staff member 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 feel it is most 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 of Central Georgia team develops a plan of care that
meets each patient's individual needs.
You may make a referral to us by submitting our electronic
form. Please note, these referrals will not be reviewed for 24 to 48
hours after submission to Hospice of Central Georgia.
For faster service, print and fax the completed referral page to 478-781-3348.
To speak with someone, please call 478-633-5660 locally or 1-800-211-1084.
Any member of our staff will be ready for your call.
