Find the Right Hospice Care in Slidell, Louisiana
About 38 hospices currently serve Slidell, including 4 nonprofits and 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 Slidell often begins after Slidell Memorial Hospital or Northshore Regional Medical Center, both in Slidell. Names you hear on the hospital floor are a useful starting list for your calls — not the only hospice you can choose. I-12, I-10, and I-59 meet here, and the Twin Spans across Lake Pontchartrain are the way into New Orleans East. The Causeway is in Mandeville, a long way west, and a Slidell nurse is not automatically a Mandeville nurse. Use this page to compare Medicare-certified hospices that report serving Slidell, then confirm the neighborhood. If the home is in Mandeville or Covington, start on that page instead of assuming every Slidell 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.

Families in Slidell 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 Slidell
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Slidell?
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 Slidell?
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 Slidell?
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 Slidell?
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.
Does a Slidell hospice cover Mandeville?
Do not assume so. Mandeville is a separate city on the Causeway. Ask whether the team would send a nurse to that street after midnight.
Is New Orleans East part of the Slidell list?
No. New Orleans East is Orleans Parish, across the Twin Spans. Ask whether the team covers that address.
Hospice Care in Slidell
Finding hospice care in Slidell
A name from Slidell Memorial Hospital or Northshore Regional Medical Center in Slidell is a phone call, 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 Slidell
Most hospice in Slidell 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 how far a nurse drives at night.
Local considerations for Slidell families
Slidell sits at the east end of the Northshore, close to Mississippi and far from the Causeway. Ask where the nurse lives, whether the team crosses the Twin Spans to New Orleans East, and who answers a call at two in the morning.
A discharge from either Slidell hospital can go home to Pearl River, Lacombe, or a road near the bayou. Say the street and the parish when you call, and ask how the night visit would work if I-10 is slow.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Slidell Memorial and Northshore Regional are in Slidell
- I-12 and I-10 are different night drives
- The Twin Spans reach New Orleans East
- Mandeville and Covington have their own pages
This page is focused on Slidell itself. Nearby cities and St. Tammany 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 St. Tammany Parish, Mandeville, Covington, Greater New Orleans.
