Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Northampton County
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Northampton 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 Northampton 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 Northampton 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 Northampton 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 Cedar Crest in Northampton County?
No. Lehigh Valley Hospital on Cedar Crest is in Allentown, in Lehigh County. Bethlehem and Easton have their own campuses.
Which page for a Bethlehem address?
Use the Bethlehem page. Use this county page for another Northampton 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 Northampton County
Most hospice in Northampton 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 Bethlehem, Fountain Hill, Easton, or Allentown.
Local considerations for Northampton County families
Bethlehem, Easton, and Fountain Hill have their own pages. A township address that is none of those is this page. Allentown is the next county.
Say the city. Bethlehem Township is not the city of Bethlehem, and it is not Easton. A New Jersey address across the Delaware is not this page.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Easton's campus is in Easton
- Muhlenberg is in Bethlehem
- The main St. Luke's campus is in Fountain Hill
- Cedar Crest is in Allentown
