Hospice care is a compassionate, patient-centered approach to medical care and support for people who are nearing the end of life. Hospice care services focus on improving the quality of life for people when their quantity of time is limited. Archbold Hospice team offers comprehensive hospice services for patients in a home setting, as well as emotional and spiritual support for both patients and their loved ones.
Archbold Hospice offers a full scope of services delivered by highly qualified and experienced healthcare professionals.
Services may include, but are not limited to the following:
Archbold Hospice provides services to patients in their own homes, contracted nursing homes, and assisted-living facilities. If a patient needs pain or symptom management that cannot feasibly be provided in another care setting, they may qualify for short-term General Inpatient Services.
This level of care is determined and approved by the Hospice Medical Director and the Interdisciplinary Team. Archbold Hospice offers inpatient hospice services in our John B. and Elizabeth V. Wight Inpatient Hospice Center, located inside Archbold Memorial in Thomasville, Georgia.
We provide a comprehensive team approach to hospice care. Our interdisciplinary Archbold Hospice team is comprised of licensed professionals who address the medical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of the patient and their loved ones.
Your hospice team could include any combination of the following professionals:
Hospice is designated for patients with terminal illnesses. Traditionally, hospice is an option for people whose life expectancy is six months or less, and the type of care focuses mostly on pain and symptom relief, rather than curative measures.
Yes, no one is refused hospice services on the basis of race, religion, age, sex, ethnic background, handicap condition, or financial resources. As long as a patient is in need of end-of-life services, anyone may refer a patient to hospice, including a family member or loved one. However, a physician's order is required to admit a patient into hospice care.
Hospice offers services based on need, rather than the ability to pay. Payment for services is accepted from commercial insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, and on a private pay basis.
Family members play a vital role in the care and wellbeing of hospice patients. We offer many support services for family members, so you’re able to focus on enjoying quality time with your loved one.
Support services that may be helpful for family members throughout their loved one’s hospice care include:
Archbold Hospice offers a multitude of support programs and events for

Camp HEAL is a bereavement camp that helps children ages 6 – 12 learn to cope with the loss of a loved one in a safe and fun environment. This camp encourages children to have their own voice and begin to heal in their own ways. It is open to all children who have suffered a loss through death.
This day camp is funded through designated gifts made to the Archbold Foundation. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, Camp Heal is available free of charge to any child who has experienced a loss. The next Camp HEAL we'll be held on September 23, 2023.
