Find the Right Hospice Care in Alexandria, Louisiana
About 21 hospices currently serve Alexandria, including 1 with a dedicated inpatient facility. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Finding hospice care in Alexandria often begins after Rapides Regional Medical Center or Christus St. Frances Cabrini Hospital, both in Alexandria. Names you hear on the hospital floor are a useful starting list for your calls — not the only hospice you can choose. The Red River separates Alexandria from Pineville, and a night visit can mean a bridge, MacArthur Drive, or I-49. Ball, Boyce, and the roads out toward Woodworth are different drives, and Pineville has its own page. Use this page to compare Medicare-certified hospices that report serving Alexandria, then confirm the neighborhood. If the home is in Pineville or another Rapides Parish community, start on that page instead of assuming every Alexandria listing fits.
We are a free, independent resource created by healthcare professionals to help Louisiana families navigate hospice and end-of-life decisions. We bring together hospice provider comparisons, Medicare quality data, our Hospice Education Center, and trusted community resources so families can better understand their options and take the next step with confidence.

Every listing here is a Medicare-certified hospice that reports serving Alexandria. The office might be elsewhere in Louisiana — that is common. When you call, share your loved one’s address so the team can confirm they can come to you. FindHospices.com is free for families.
Other important resources for Alexandria families
Families in Alexandria often discover that choosing a hospice is only one part of the journey. Questions about funeral arrangements, cremation, estate planning, elder law, probate, advance directives, veterans’ benefits, and other important decisions frequently arise at the same time.
Placements are limited and selective — we review applications and only accept organizations that meet our standards for this section. Listings are paid advertising, not recommendations or endorsements. Families review the information and choose professionals for themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Alexandria
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Alexandria?
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 Alexandria?
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 Alexandria?
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 Alexandria?
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.
Is Pineville the same hospice list as Alexandria?
No. Pineville is a separate city across the Red River. Ask whether the team would send a nurse to that street after midnight.
Does an Alexandria team serve Natchitoches?
Only if that team actually covers Natchitoches Parish. It is a drive up I-49, so ask about a night visit.
Hospice Care in Alexandria
Finding hospice care in Alexandria
A name from Rapides Regional Medical Center or Christus St. Frances Cabrini Hospital is a starting list, not an assigned hospice. FindHospices.com is free for families.
What to compare
When you call, ask about:
- Whether the team covers the exact address, not only the city or parish name
- Who would come after hours, and how long that usually takes
- What happens if symptoms cannot be managed at home
- Medicare quality and family-experience information on each profile
Where hospice care happens in Alexandria
Most hospice in Alexandria happens at home or in a care facility. A short inpatient stay is for symptoms that cannot be managed in the house. Ask which bed they would use, and who answers at night.
Local considerations for Alexandria families
Central Louisiana is wide, and a team based in Alexandria is not the same as one based in Natchitoches or Marksville. Ask where the office sits, who walks through the door at night, and whether a Rapides Parish address outside the city would still get a visit.
The two Alexandria hospitals are a few miles apart, but families go home to Pineville, Ball, or a rural road in Rapides Parish. Say the street and the parish when you call, and confirm the first night visit is on the table.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Rapides Regional and Christus St. Frances Cabrini are in Alexandria
- Pineville is across the Red River and has its own page
- Ball, Boyce, and Woodworth are different drives
- I-49 and MacArthur Drive change a night visit
This page is focused on Alexandria itself. Nearby cities and Rapides Parish can help if your family is looking across more than one community.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Rapides Parish, Pineville, Central Louisiana.
