Transitions Hospice Care

What Transitions Hospice Care does

Transitions Hospice Care (THC) is a private, veteran-owned hospice provider founded in 2005 by West Point classmates Thomas P.G. Franklin and Edwin C. Hirsch. The company delivers interdisciplinary, comfort-focused end-of-life care to patients with life-limiting illnesses across 17 counties in Georgia, with regional operations anchored in Rome (316 E. 7th Street SW) and a corporate office in Cassville (PO Box 898). Its service portfolio spans core hospice care plus integrated modules: pain and symptom management, equipment and supplies, spiritual support, domestic support via Hospice Certified Nursing Assistants, medical social services, bereavement support for up to 13 months post-loss, volunteer companionship, and medication management. Care is delivered in the patient's home, nursing home, or assisted living facility through an interdisciplinary team (physicians, nurses, CNAs, social workers, chaplains, volunteers) supported by 24/7 nurse availability and same-day admission assessments.

The underlying operating model is people- and process-driven rather than technology-led; there are no proprietary AI, software platforms, APIs, or integrations disclosed in the input data. Go-to-market is sales-led via three primary intake channels: physician and hospitalist referrals, hospital discharge planner referrals, and self-referrals from families, with a dedicated 'For Physicians' page providing downloadable referral forms. Marketing combines educational blog content, a curated resources page linking to external senior-care and veteran-care partners, and an organic social presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Revenue is generated through per-diem hospice reimbursements, almost entirely from third-party payers. Coverage is driven by Medicare Part A (100% coverage for qualifying patients with no out-of-pocket costs for hospice-related services), supplemented by Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid, and select private insurers; the company does not bill patients or require copays for covered services. The model is operationally founder-controlled, with no disclosed external institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiaries, and is credentialed as a Medicare-approved provider, HIPAA-compliant, a We Honor Veterans Level 3 partner, and a 2018 Hospice Honors Award recipient.
