Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Franklin County
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Franklin 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 Franklin 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 Franklin 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 Franklin 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 Franklin County hospital in Harrisburg?
No. WellSpan Chambersburg Hospital is in Chambersburg. Harrisburg is a different county.
Which page for a Chambersburg address?
Use the Chambersburg page. Use this county page for another Franklin County community.

Where hospice care happens in Franklin County
Most hospice in Franklin 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, and whether that bed is in Chambersburg or up I-81.
