Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Tangipahoa Parish is wider than Hammond.

Livingston Parish is to the west and St. Tammany Parish is to the south and east. I-55 and I-12 cross here. Use this parish page for Amite City and every other community in Tangipahoa Parish, or when someone may leave a hospital for a home in a different town. Ask which team would send the first nurse to that street after the discharge desk closes. A Hammond team is not automatically a team for every town in the parish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Tangipahoa Parish
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Tangipahoa 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 Tangipahoa 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 Tangipahoa 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 Tangipahoa 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.
Does a Hammond team cover all of Tangipahoa Parish?
Do not assume so. Ponchatoula, Independence, and Kentwood are different drives. Ask whether the team would send a nurse to that street after dark.
Is Amite City part of the Hammond list?
Only if the team covers that address. It is the parish seat and a drive north on US-51.

Finding hospice care in Tangipahoa Parish
A name from North Oaks in Hammond is a starting list, not a plan 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 Tangipahoa Parish
Most hospice in Tangipahoa Parish 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 Tangipahoa Parish families
Tangipahoa Parish runs from Ponchatoula up to the Mississippi line. A Kentwood address is a long night from Hammond, and the roads toward Independence are not the same as I-12.
Ask whether the nurse leaves from Hammond or from a smaller office. Say the street and the parish when you call, and confirm Ponchatoula and Hammond are different cities.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Hammond and Ponchatoula have their own pages
- North Oaks Medical Center is in Hammond
- Amite City is the parish seat, a different drive
- Kentwood is a long night drive
