Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Lehigh County

Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Lehigh 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 Lehigh 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 Lehigh 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 Lehigh 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 main St. Luke's hospital in Allentown?

No. It is in Fountain Hill, beside Bethlehem, in Northampton County. Lehigh Valley Hospital on Cedar Crest is in Allentown.

Which page for an Allentown address?

Use the Allentown page. Use this county page for another Lehigh County community.

Where hospice care happens in Lehigh County

Most hospice in Lehigh 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 on Cedar Crest or across the line in Fountain Hill or Bethlehem.
