Other important resources for Bethlehem families
Families in Bethlehem 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 Bethlehem
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Bethlehem?
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 Bethlehem?
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 Bethlehem?
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 Bethlehem?
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 the city of Bethlehem?
It sits in Fountain Hill, the borough beside south Bethlehem, with a Bethlehem mailing address. Muhlenberg, on Schoenersville Road, is in Bethlehem.
Is Cedar Crest a Bethlehem hospital?
No. Lehigh Valley Hospital on Cedar Crest Boulevard is in Allentown. Bethlehem and Allentown have different pages.
Hospice Care in Bethlehem
Finding hospice care in Bethlehem
Two hospital campuses sit against Bethlehem, and they are not the Allentown hospital. The side of the river still matters. 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 Bethlehem
Most hospice in Bethlehem 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 at Muhlenberg, in Fountain Hill, or back in Allentown.
Local considerations for Bethlehem families
Bethlehem sits in Northampton County, against the Lehigh County line. Muhlenberg is in Bethlehem. The main St. Luke's hospital is in Fountain Hill, not on the north side. Lehigh Valley Hospital on Cedar Crest is in Allentown. The Anderson campus people associate with St. Luke's is in Bethlehem Township, not in the city.
A discharge from Allentown's Cedar Crest campus can still be a Bethlehem address. Say Bethlehem and the side of the river. A team that covers Schoenersville Road is not automatically the team for a south-side street or for Easton.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Muhlenberg is in Bethlehem
- The main St. Luke's campus is in Fountain Hill
- Cedar Crest is in Allentown
- Allentown and Easton have their own pages
The home address decides who can come. If that address is outside Bethlehem, open Northampton County before you compare.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Northampton County, Easton, Northampton, Wilson, Lehigh Valley, Fountain Hill, Allentown.
