Find the Right Hospice Care in Youngstown, Ohio
About 51 hospices currently serve Youngstown, including 3 nonprofits and 2 with dedicated inpatient facilities. Use this list to compare options and talk with the hospices that feel right for your family. Most Youngstown families begin after a Mercy Health St. Elizabeth stay in Youngstown or Boardman — then go home in the Mahoning Valley, which is its own hospice community, not Cleveland and not Akron. The hospital does not pick your hospice. What matters is who can reach that driveway after hours. If care might be in Boardman or elsewhere in the valley, confirm that city, then the county on the mail.
We are a free, independent resource created by healthcare professionals to help Ohio families navigate hospice and end-of-life decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Youngstown
How many hospice providers serve Youngstown?
This directory currently lists about 51 Medicare-certified hospice organizations that serve Youngstown. That count is service coverage — not how many headquarters sit inside one city. Confirm the patient’s address with any team you call.
What should we compare when choosing hospice care in Youngstown?
Ask whether they cover the exact address; how admission and after-hours nursing work; aide support, medications, and equipment; inpatient or respite if home care is not enough; Medicare quality and family-experience information on each profile; and who to call at night. Calling does not obligate you to enroll.
Do we have to use the hospice the hospital names in Youngstown?
No. Ohio does not assign one hospice to a county. A hospital social worker can share names they work with often. You may still compare any Medicare-certified hospice that covers the patient’s address. Calling for information does not enroll you.
Are there nonprofit hospice options serving Youngstown?
Yes—about 3 nonprofit hospice organizations currently appear among providers serving Youngstown. Nonprofit and for-profit hospices must both meet Medicare certification standards.
How quickly can hospice begin in Youngstown?
When hospice is medically appropriate, many teams can begin within about 24–48 hours, and some offer same-day admission when staffing allows. Ask about after-hours admissions and who comes to the home first. The Quick Admission filter highlights organizations that emphasize faster starts — then verify by phone.
Can hospice be provided at home in Youngstown?
Yes. Most hospice care is where the patient already lives — a house or apartment in Youngstown, or assisted living, memory care, or a nursing facility. Teams visit on a schedule and take urgent calls around the clock. Always confirm the ZIP.
Is Boardman the same as Youngstown for hospice coverage?
No. Boardman has its own city page. Use that list if the patient lives there, or compare both and ask each team about the street — not only “the Valley.”
Do we have to use the hospice the hospital names in Youngstown?
No. Families may compare any Medicare-certified hospice that covers the address. A social worker can share names they work with often; you can still call others and ask about coverage and timing.
Does a Cleveland or Akron hospice automatically cover Youngstown?
No. Some brands market across Northeast Ohio. Visiting teams for Youngstown are usually local. Ask which office would send the nurse to that Mahoning or Trumbull address.
Do I need a hospice with an office inside Youngstown city limits?
No. What matters is who would walk through the door after midnight and how long that takes. Many valley teams sit in Boardman, Austintown, or a nearby township — not downtown.
How many hospices serving Youngstown have a dedicated inpatient facility?
This directory currently lists 2 hospices serving Youngstown that report a dedicated inpatient facility. That is different from routine home care. Use the inpatient filter on this page, then open a profile to see how they handle a short stay when symptoms are hard to manage at home. Always confirm with the team — a listing is a starting point.
Hospice Care in Youngstown
Finding hospice care in Youngstown
Families looking for hospice in Youngstown often start after a stay at Mercy Health (St. Elizabeth Youngstown or Boardman) — or after a physician says comfort care is the next conversation. Those hospitals do not assign a hospice. This page lists Medicare-certified organizations that report serving Youngstown so you can compare who covers the home ZIP, how quickly a nurse can come after midnight, and how to reach a team. FindHospices.com is free for families.
What families often compare
As you look through the list above, it often helps to ask:
- Whether they can come to your loved one’s address in Youngstown
- How soon care can start, and who to call after hours
- Help with aides, medications, and equipment
- Whether a short inpatient or respite stay is possible if home care is not enough
- Experience with your loved one’s condition, when that matters
- Medicare quality information and family-experience scores on each profile
- How the team keeps in touch with family caregivers
Where hospice care happens in Youngstown
Most hospice in Youngstown is at home or in a valley facility. Short inpatient care is a crisis stay — a hospital general inpatient bed or a hospice house — not a nursing-home placement. Ask which bed they actually use in Mahoning County versus sending someone toward Akron, and how a night transfer works from that ZIP.
Local considerations for Youngstown families
Youngstown, Boardman, Austintown, and Campbell sit close on a map and are often mixed on hospital paperwork. Warren is Trumbull County, not Mahoning — a “Youngstown office” does not automatically cover a Warren address. I-680 and South Avenue change how long after-hours visits take; a team based near the river may still treat Boardman’s retail corridor as a separate trip.
Ask which office would send the first nurse, not which brand name you heard on the hospital floor. If care would start in assisted living or a nursing facility, ask whether that building already works with the team. If the patient lives in Boardman, open that city page instead of assuming the Youngstown list is enough.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- 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 in Mahoning County or traveling from Trumbull or Columbiana County
- Confirm assisted-living or nursing-facility relationships if care would start in a building, not a private home
- Use the Boardman page when the home is Boardman, even if the hospital chart says Youngstown
This page is focused on Youngstown itself. Nearby cities and Mahoning County can help if your family is looking across more than one community.
How care is organized around Youngstown
The Mahoning Valley is a multi-hospital, multi-community map. Mercy Health is a common referral name; Cleveland or Akron brands may market here without a nurse based in Mahoning County. Boardman is large enough to need its own compare. Trumbull County starts quickly to the north.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address — not the metro name. These nearby pages help you narrow from Youngstown: Boardman, Northeast Ohio, and Canton. Calling a hospice does not obligate you to enroll.
