Gentiva Hospice – Birmingham coordinates mobile end-of-life care across the Birmingham, Alabama area. Administered by Amanda Long, the agency operates its central office at 2400 Acton Road, roughly 7.8 miles outside the city center. The primary objective is delivering physical, emotional, and spiritual support directly to patients wherever they live, helping them remain in a familiar environment during a terminal illness.
The surrounding location is car-dependent, with a walkability score of 8 out of 100, meaning field staff and visiting relatives rely on vehicles for all transit. Clinical personnel stay on call 24 hours a day to handle sudden shifts in symptoms or family needs.
The care framework includes specialized veteran programs, wound management, clinical case coordination, and bereavement counseling for families navigating grief. Private insurance and self-pay options are accepted to cover these home-based services.
Families can reach out to the administrative team to begin an intake assessment and evaluate hospice eligibility. Reviewing specific medical needs with a care coordinator allows loved ones to verify coverage options, discuss pain management guidelines, and arrange a personalized care schedule.
