Lake Martin Hospice
Overview
Lake Martin Hospice has been providing the finest hospice care since 2004, delivered with compassion, excellence and reliability. Patient care and service are our highest priorities and primary reason for existence.
Lake Martin Hospice offers the advantage of being a hometown hospice. The entire team lives in the service area and therefore has established relationships with local doctors, drug stores, hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities.
Our services are not intended to take the place of care by family emembers but rather to guide and support them in the care of the patient.
Please feel free to call us at (256) 825-3272; there are often so many questions, as well as misconceptions, about Hospice care. You can trust Lake Martin Hospice to provide accurate and complete information about Hospice care.
