Find the Right Hospice Care in Kenner, Louisiana
About 38 hospices currently serve Kenner, including 4 nonprofits and 3 with dedicated inpatient facilities. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Finding hospice care in Kenner often begins after Ochsner Medical Center in Kenner. Names you hear on the hospital floor are a useful starting list for your calls — not the only hospice you can choose. The airport, Williams Boulevard, Loyola Drive, and I-10 set the drive, and Rivertown near the river is not the same night as the lakefront. Kenner is its own Jefferson Parish city, not Metairie and not New Orleans, and Ochsner's main campus on Jefferson Highway is in Jefferson, a different starting point. Use this page to compare Medicare-certified hospices that report serving Kenner, then confirm the neighborhood. Metairie and New Orleans are next door and have their own pages.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Kenner
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Kenner?
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 Kenner?
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 Kenner?
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 Kenner?
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 Kenner the same hospice list as Metairie?
No. Both are in Jefferson Parish, but they are different cities. Ask the team whether they would send a nurse to that Kenner street after dark.
Is the airport area part of Kenner?
Yes, the airport sits in the Kenner area, and it changes traffic on Airline Highway and I-10. Ask how long a night visit takes when a flight bank has backed up the road.
Hospice Care in Kenner
Finding hospice care in Kenner
Finding hospice care in Kenner usually starts after Ochsner Medical Center in Kenner, or after a doctor says it is time to talk about comfort. Names you hear on that floor are a starting list, not the only hospice you can choose. The airport, Williams Boulevard, and I-10 are a different night drive than Rivertown or the lakefront. Use this page to compare Medicare-certified hospices that report serving Kenner. If the home is in Metairie or New Orleans, open that page instead of assuming every Kenner listing fits. 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 Kenner
Most hospice in Kenner is at home or in an assisted living building near Williams Boulevard. A short inpatient stay is for symptoms that cannot be managed in the house. Ask which bed they would use, and whether it is in Kenner or across the line.
Local considerations for Kenner families
People along I-10 treat Kenner as one stretch with Metairie. It is not. It has its own city hall, its own neighborhoods, and a different night route to the hospital on Esplanade Avenue. Ask which office a nurse would leave from, and whether that office is closer to Rivertown or to Veterans Boulevard.
Ochsner's main campus on Jefferson Highway is in Jefferson Parish, not in Kenner, and a discharge from there is a different starting point. Say Kenner, the street, and the ZIP when you call, so no one assumes a Metairie plan.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Ochsner Medical Center is in Kenner
- Ochsner's main campus on Jefferson Highway is in Jefferson, not Kenner
- Metairie and New Orleans are not Kenner
- Ask about Williams Boulevard and I-10 after midnight
This page is focused on Kenner itself. Nearby cities and Jefferson 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 Jefferson Parish, Metairie, Marrero, Harvey, Greater New Orleans.
