About 38 hospices currently serve St. Tammany Parish, 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. St. Tammany Parish is wider than Covington and Mandeville. Families often leave St. Tammany Parish Hospital in Covington, or Slidell Memorial Hospital and Northshore Regional Medical Center in Slidell, then go home to Abita Springs, Madisonville, or Lacombe. The Causeway reaches Metairie in Jefferson Parish. The Twin Spans reach New Orleans East in Orleans Parish. Hammond is in Tangipahoa Parish. Use the Covington page when the home is inside that city. Use this parish page when the address is another community in St. Tammany Parish, or when someone may leave a hospital for a home that is not in that city. Ask which team would send the first nurse to that street after the discharge desk closes. A Northshore stay is not an automatic plan for every road in the parish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in St. Tammany Parish
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in St. Tammany Parish?
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 St. Tammany Parish?
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 St. Tammany Parish?
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 St. Tammany Parish?
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 St. Tammany Parish one hospice list?
No. Slidell, Covington, and Mandeville are separate drives. Ask which office would send the first nurse to that street.
Does a Metairie team cover the Northshore?
Not automatically. Metairie is across the lake. Ask whether the team crosses the Causeway for a night visit.

Finding hospice care in St. Tammany Parish
A name from a St. Tammany hospital is a starting list for that campus city, not for every road in the parish. FindHospices.com is free for families.
What families often compare across the county
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 St. Tammany Parish
Most hospice in St. Tammany Parish happens at home or in an assisted living building. A short inpatient stay is for symptoms that cannot be managed in the house. Ask which bed they would use, and whether it is on the Northshore.
Local considerations for St. Tammany Parish families
The Northshore is a long strip between Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi line. Slidell on the east, Covington and Mandeville in the middle, and Pearl River are three different night drives.
I-12 and Highway 190 are the roads a nurse drives when the Causeway is closed. Ask whether the team has staff on the Northshore or whether they cross the lake for every visit.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Covington, Mandeville, and Slidell have their own pages
- St. Tammany Parish Hospital is in Covington
- Slidell Memorial and Northshore Regional are in Slidell
- The Causeway and the Twin Spans lead to other parishes
This page is the county-wide list for St. Tammany Parish. Use a city page when you already know the community, or Greater New Orleans only to scan the wider region.
Where to start
