Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Drexel Hill
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Drexel Hill?
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 Drexel Hill?
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 Drexel Hill?
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 Drexel Hill?
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 Delaware County Memorial Hospital open?
No. It closed. Families in Drexel Hill now start at Riddle in Media, Mercy Fitzgerald in Darby, or hospitals outside the township.
Is Drexel Hill in Philadelphia?
No. It is in Delaware County, in Upper Darby Township. Philadelphia has its own page.

What to compare
When you call, ask about:

- Medicare quality and family-experience information on each profile
Where hospice care happens in Drexel Hill
Most hospice in Drexel Hill 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 now, and which town that bed is in.
Local considerations for Drexel Hill families
Delaware County Memorial Hospital in Drexel Hill closed. Do not build the plan around that campus. Riddle is in Media. Mercy Fitzgerald is in Darby. Lankenau is in Wynnewood, in Montgomery County, just over the line.
Say Drexel Hill and the street. A Philadelphia discharge can still be this address. Ask whether the night nurse is coming from Media, Darby, Wynnewood, or the city.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- The Drexel Hill hospital is closed
- Riddle is in Media
- Mercy Fitzgerald is in Darby
- Lankenau is in Wynnewood, in Montgomery County
The home address decides who can come. If that address is outside Drexel Hill, open Delaware County before you compare.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Delaware County, Chester, Wayne, Yeadon, Greater Philadelphia, Media, Darby, Philadelphia.
