Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Northwest New Mexico
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Northwest New Mexico?
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 Northwest New Mexico?
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 Northwest New Mexico?
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 Northwest New Mexico?
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 Gallup close to Farmington for hospice?
No. They are different cities. Ask which office would visit you.
Do we have to use the hospice the hospital named?
No. A hospital can suggest a name. You choose the team that will come to the house, and you can call more than one.

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 Northwest New Mexico families
San Juan County is the Farmington side. McKinley County is Gallup and Zuni Pueblo. Cibola County is Grants. A Farmington team may not go to Gallup, and a Gallup team may not go to Shiprock.
Say the community. Ask how soon a nurse can come and who answers at night.
Before you choose:
- Say Farmington, Gallup, Grants, Shiprock, or Zuni Pueblo
- Ask whether they will come to that place
- Ask about nights
- Do not treat the whole region as one route
Pick the town where your loved one lives. A team that covers one city in Northwest New Mexico may not drive to another.
Where to start
Give the hospice the street address. If the home is in Farmington, Gallup, Grants, Shiprock, San Juan County, McKinley County, Cibola County, start with that place.
