Our goal at Flint River Hospice is to be a true community asset to the families, physicians, hospitals, and communities in southwest Georgia by providing the highest level of hospice care for those faced with the realities of loss, death, and grief while maintaining and fostering hope.

Hospice is a special way of caring for terminally ill people, their families and caregivers. We focus on CARE, not CURE. Hospice treats the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of their patients and families. We believe that quality of life is as important as the length of life. Hospice is appropriate for many end-stage terminal diagnoses including cancer, AIDS, ALS, heart disease, respiratory and lung disease and Alzheimer’s disease.

Flint River Hospice is privately owned and operated, and is based in Bainbridge, Georgia. We currently serve families within a 60 mile radius of our office. This area includes Seminole, Decatur, Miller, Grady, Thomas, Mitchell, Baker, Early, Clay, Calhoun, Randolph and Dougherty counties.
