Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in San Juan County
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in San Juan County?
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 San Juan County?
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 San Juan County?
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 San Juan County?
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 Shiprock part of Farmington?
No. Say Shiprock if that is the address.
Does the hospital assign a hospice?
No. San Juan Regional can suggest one. You can call any Medicare hospice that will come to the house.

Where hospice care happens in San Juan County
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.

The county is large. Ask which office would send the nurse, and how long that takes after hours. Northwest New Mexico also includes Gallup and Grants, which are different days of driving.
Say the community on the first call. Use this county page when you are comparing more than one of these towns.
Before you choose:
- Say Farmington, Aztec, Bloomfield, or Shiprock

- Gallup is a different county
- Ask about nights before you choose
If you already know the town, open that town’s page. Open Northwest New Mexico when the address might be in a neighboring county.
