Every listing here is a Medicare-certified hospice that reports serving Pittsburgh. 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 Pittsburgh families
Families in Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Pittsburgh?
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 Pittsburgh?
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 Pittsburgh?
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 Pittsburgh?
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 St. Clair Hospital in Pittsburgh?
No. St. Clair Hospital is in Mt. Lebanon. Allegheny General, UPMC Presbyterian, UPMC Shadyside, UPMC Mercy, and West Penn are the large campuses inside the city.
Does a Pittsburgh listing cover Bethel Park or Monroeville?
Not automatically. Those cities have their own pages. Ask whether a nurse will come to that street after midnight.
Hospice Care in Pittsburgh
Finding hospice care in Pittsburgh
Families often start after a Pittsburgh hospital. Those names are a starting list. The neighborhood still decides who can come. 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 Pittsburgh
Most hospice in Pittsburgh 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 from that side of the river, and who picks up the phone after the tunnels slow down.
Local considerations for Pittsburgh families
Pittsburgh is the Allegheny County seat, and the hospitals people lump together are in different parts of the city. UPMC Presbyterian and UPMC Shadyside are in the East End. Allegheny General is on the North Side. UPMC Mercy is in Uptown. West Penn is in Bloomfield. Say which one, then say which side of which river the person is going home to.
St. Clair Hospital is in Mt. Lebanon, not in the city and not in Bethel Park. AHN Jefferson Hospital is in Jefferson Hills. A discharge from a city hospital can still end in a suburb that has its own page. Ask whether the night nurse is already on that side of the rivers or coming through a tunnel.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Presbyterian, Shadyside, Allegheny General, Mercy, and West Penn are different city campuses
- The rivers and tunnels change the night drive
- Bethel Park, Monroeville, and McKeesport have their own pages
- St. Clair is in Mt. Lebanon, and Jefferson Hospital is in Jefferson Hills
The home address decides who can come. If that address is outside Pittsburgh, open Allegheny County before you compare.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Allegheny County, Bethel Park, Monroeville, Plum, Greater Pittsburgh, McKeesport, Allison Park, Baldwin, West Mifflin, Franklin Park, Jefferson Hills.
