Every listing here is a Medicare-certified hospice that reports serving Allentown. The office might be elsewhere in Pennsylvania — that is common. When you call, share your loved one’s address so the team can confirm they can come to you. FindHospices.com is free for families.
Other important resources for Allentown families
Families in Allentown often discover that choosing a hospice is only one part of the journey. Questions about funeral arrangements, cremation, estate planning, elder law, probate, advance directives, veterans’ benefits, and other important decisions frequently arise at the same time.
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 Allentown
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Allentown?
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 Allentown?
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 Allentown?
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 Allentown?
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 the main St. Luke's hospital in Allentown?
No. That campus is in Fountain Hill, beside south Bethlehem. The Allentown hospital families usually mean is Lehigh Valley Hospital on Cedar Crest Boulevard.
Does an Allentown listing cover Bethlehem?
Do not assume it does. Bethlehem has its own page. Ask whether a nurse will come to that street after dark.
Hospice Care in Allentown
Finding hospice care in Allentown
A name from the Cedar Crest floor is a starting list. Bethlehem and Easton are different addresses. 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 Allentown
Most hospice in Allentown happens in the house, apartment, or care facility where the person already lives. A short stay somewhere with a nurse through the night is for symptoms that cannot be managed at home. Ask which bed they would use, and whether that bed is on Cedar Crest or back toward Bethlehem.
Local considerations for Allentown families
Allentown is the Lehigh County seat. Lehigh Valley Hospital on Cedar Crest Boulevard is in Allentown. The main St. Luke's campus is in Fountain Hill, beside south Bethlehem, and Lehigh Valley Hospital–Muhlenberg is in Bethlehem. Do not treat those as Allentown campuses.
A discharge from Cedar Crest can still end at a Bethlehem or Easton address. Say the city. A team that knows the west end of Allentown has a different night drive once the home is across the river.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Lehigh Valley Hospital on Cedar Crest is in Allentown
- The main St. Luke's campus is in Fountain Hill
- Bethlehem and Easton have their own pages
- Ask about Cedar Crest and Hamilton Street after midnight
The home address decides who can come. If that address is outside Allentown, open Lehigh County before you compare.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Lehigh County, Fullerton, Emmaus, Ancient Oaks, Lehigh Valley, Bethlehem, Easton, Fountain Hill.
