Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Blair County
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Blair County?
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 Blair County?
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 Blair County?
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 Blair County?
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 county hospital in Hollidaysburg?
No. Hollidaysburg is the county seat. UPMC Altoona is in Altoona.
Which page for a Hollidaysburg address?
Use the Hollidaysburg page. Use the Altoona page for a street in that city.

Where hospice care happens in Blair County
Most hospice in Blair County 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 Altoona, and who crosses the ridge after dark.
