Other important resources for Delaware County families
Families across Delaware County 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 Delaware County
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Delaware 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 Delaware 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 Delaware 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 Delaware 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 Chester hospital still open?
No. The campus in Upland, beside Chester, closed. Riddle in Media and Mercy Fitzgerald in Darby are the open hospitals in the county.
Which page for a Media address?
Use the Media page. Use this county page for another Delaware County community.

What families often compare across the county
When you call, ask about:

- What happens if symptoms cannot be managed at home
- Medicare quality and family-experience information on each profile
Where hospice care happens in Delaware County
Most hospice in Delaware 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 now, and whether that bed is in Media, Darby, or outside the county.
Local considerations for Delaware County families
Media, Chester, Wayne, and Drexel Hill have their own pages. Darby is where Mercy Fitzgerald sits. A township address that is none of those is this page.
Say the town, and do not send the family back to a closed campus. Chester is the county's city. Media is the county seat. They are not the same night.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Riddle is in Media
- Mercy Fitzgerald is in Darby
- The Upland, Ridley Park, and Drexel Hill hospitals are closed
- Lankenau is in Montgomery County
This page is the county-wide list for Delaware County. Use a city page when you already know the community, or Greater Philadelphia only to scan the wider region.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Chester, Wayne, Drexel Hill, Yeadon, Greater Philadelphia, Media, Darby, Upland, Philadelphia.
