About Gentiva Hospice

Location:

174 Murray Guard, Ste A, Jackson, TN 38305, US

Mission Statement

Your care is our calling At Gentiva, we believe every day is an opportunity to make care more personal and life more comfortable. That's why we offer personal care, home health care, palliative care, and hospice care to give people the support they need with dignity, grace, and love.

Description

With hospice there is hope for a better quality of life

The most important time is the time we have together - with family and friends. Many people think hospice is only about end-of-life care, but it’s so much more than that. In thousands of communities across the country, we help people with a life-limiting illness - and their loved ones - make the most of the time they have in the comfort and privacy of wherever they call home.
