Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Washington County
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Washington County?
No. A hospital or physician can share names they work with often. You may still compare any Medicare-certified hospice that will come to the patient’s address. Calling for information does not enroll you.
Should we contact more than one hospice about Washington County?
Yes. Compare who covers the exact address, how soon a nurse can get there, and who answers after hours. A referral is a starting point, not a requirement to use one brand.
Can hospice care be provided at home in Washington County?
Yes. Most hospice care happens where the patient already lives — a house or apartment, or assisted living, memory care, or a nursing facility. Ask the team to confirm that specific address, not only the city or county name.
How quickly can hospice start in Washington County?
When hospice is medically appropriate, many teams begin within about 24–48 hours, and some can start the same day when staffing allows. Ask who comes first and how a night call is handled. Then verify by phone.
Which page for a Fayetteville address?
The Fayetteville page. Use this county page for another Washington County community.
Is Springdale in Benton County?
Springdale is in Washington County. Rogers and Bentonville are in Benton County.

Local considerations for Washington County families
Washington County is wider than Fayetteville. A team that covers the university side of town has not agreed to a Springdale street or a Prairie Grove road.
Say which hospital. The two campuses are in different cities, a few miles apart, and families use both.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Washington Regional Medical Center is in Fayetteville
- Northwest Medical Center is in Springdale
- Springdale has its own page
- Prairie Grove and Farmington are not Fayetteville
This page is the county-wide list for Washington County. Use a city page when you already know the community, or Northwest Arkansas only to scan the wider region.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Fayetteville, Springdale, Northwest Arkansas.
