Find the Right Hospice Care in Albuquerque, New Mexico
About 52 hospices currently serve Albuquerque, including 7 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. Albuquerque is the center of Bernalillo County.

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 Albuquerque
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Albuquerque?
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 Albuquerque?
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 Albuquerque?
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 Albuquerque?
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 an Albuquerque listing cover Rio Rancho or Los Lunas?
Not automatically. Rio Rancho is in Sandoval County and Los Lunas is in Valencia County. Start on that city’s page if that is the address.
Should we only call a hospice with an office inside Albuquerque?
No. What matters is whether they cover the address and can reach you, including after hours. Ask which office would send the nurse.

Finding hospice care in Albuquerque
Finding hospice care in Albuquerque often begins after University of New Mexico Hospital, Presbyterian Hospital, or Lovelace Medical Center. Names you hear on the hospital floor are a useful starting list for your calls — not the only hospice you can choose. A team that visits the Northeast Heights may not send a nurse to the west side or to South Valley after hours. Use this page to compare Medicare-certified hospices that report serving Albuquerque, then confirm the neighborhood. If the home is in Rio Rancho, Los Lunas, or South Valley, start there. 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 county 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 Albuquerque
Most hospice care happens where your loved one already lives — at home, or in assisted living, memory care, or a nursing facility. If symptoms become hard to manage at home, ask whether a short inpatient stay is possible and where that stay would be.
Local considerations for Albuquerque families
Downtown, the valley, and the Northeast Heights sit inside Albuquerque. South Valley is still Bernalillo County and has its own page. Rio Rancho is Sandoval County. Los Lunas is Valencia County. A listing that says Albuquerque does not prove the same nurse comes to each of those places after midnight.
Ask which office would send the first nurse, not which name you heard at the hospital. If care would start in assisted living or a nursing facility, ask whether that building already works with the team. Use Bernalillo County when the address might be outside the city, and Central New Mexico only for a wider look.
Before you choose:
- Hospital referrals are a starting list — you may still compare any Medicare-certified hospice that covers the address
- Ask whether the visiting nurse is based on the west side, the Northeast Heights, or is traveling in
- South Valley, Rio Rancho, and Los Lunas have their own pages when the home is there
- Confirm assisted-living or nursing-facility relationships if care would start in a building
If the house is in a nearby town, start on that town’s page. The county page for Bernalillo County is there when you are not sure which town the address belongs to.
Where to start
Give the hospice the street address. If the home is in Bernalillo County, South Valley, North Valley, Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, Central New Mexico, start with that place.
