Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Luzerne County
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Luzerne 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 Luzerne 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 Luzerne 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 Luzerne 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 Geisinger Wyoming Valley in downtown Wilkes-Barre?
No. It is in Plains Township. Wilkes-Barre General is the hospital in the city.
Which page for a Hazleton address?
Use the Hazleton page. Use this county page for another Luzerne community.

Two hospital places in the valley, plus Hazleton on the mountain. Scranton is a different county. FindHospices.com is free for families.
What families often compare across the county
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 Luzerne County
Most hospice in Luzerne 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 the city, in Plains Township, or in Hazleton.
Local considerations for Luzerne County families
Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton have their own pages. Scranton is the next county. A Luzerne address outside those cities is this page.
Say Plains Township when that is the Geisinger campus, and say the home city when it is Wilkes-Barre or Hazleton. They are not one plan.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Wilkes-Barre General is in the city
- Geisinger Wyoming Valley is in Plains Township
- Hazleton has its own hospital
- Scranton is Lackawanna County

Where to start
