Find the Right Hospice Care in Washington, Pennsylvania

This page compares hospice for a home in Washington. About 43 hospices serve the city, including 7 nonprofits. Five are faith-based. Say Washington, Pennsylvania, so it is not the other Washington. Canonsburg is a different town to the north. A Pittsburgh listing is not a yes for a street here. If the home is in Pittsburgh, use that city's page. For the rest of the county, use the Washington County page.

We are a free, independent resource created by healthcare professionals to help Pennsylvania families navigate hospice and end-of-life decisions. We bring together hospice provider comparisons, Medicare quality data, our Hospice Education Center, and trusted community resources so families can better understand their options and take the next step with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Washington

Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Washington?

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 Washington?

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 Washington?

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 Washington?

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 Washington Hospital in Pittsburgh?

No. Washington Hospital is in the city of Washington, in Washington County. Pittsburgh has its own hospitals and its own page.

Is Canonsburg part of Washington?

No. Canonsburg is a different town and has its own page.

Hospice Care in Washington

Finding hospice care in Washington

The hospital is in the county seat. Pittsburgh is north, and it is a different page. 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 Washington

Most hospice in Washington 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 in Washington, and who drives to a county address after dark.

Local considerations for Washington families

Washington Hospital is in Washington, the county seat. It is not a Pittsburgh campus. Canonsburg is north of the city and has its own page. A drive up I-79 to Pittsburgh is a different night.

Say Washington, Pennsylvania, so the plan is not confused with another Washington. Ask whether the night nurse is based in the city.

When you are comparing, it often helps to:

  • Washington Hospital is in Washington
  • Canonsburg is a different town
  • Pittsburgh is a different night drive
  • This is Washington County, Pennsylvania

The home address decides who can come. If that address is outside Washington, open Washington County before you compare.

Where to start

Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Washington County, Canonsburg, California, Donora, Greater Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
