Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Greater Philadelphia
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Greater Philadelphia?
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 Greater Philadelphia?
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 Greater Philadelphia?
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 Greater Philadelphia?
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.
Does Greater Philadelphia mean the city only?
No. On this site it is the city plus the suburban counties around it. The home county still decides which page to use.
Is Einstein Montgomery in Philadelphia?
No. It is in East Norriton, in Montgomery County. Philadelphia's hospitals are in the city.
Hospice Care in Greater Philadelphia
Finding hospice care in Greater Philadelphia
Several hospital cities share this region. None of them covers the others by default. FindHospices.com is free for families.
What families often compare across the region
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 across Greater Philadelphia
Most hospice in Greater Philadelphia 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 which county that bed is in.
Local considerations for Greater Philadelphia families
Philadelphia County is the city. Montgomery, Delaware, Bucks, and Chester are the suburban counties with their own pages. The hospitals that closed in Delaware County, including the Upland campus beside Chester, are not current starting points. Riddle in Media and Mercy Fitzgerald in Darby are the open hospitals in that county.
Say the county out loud. Fox Chase is inside Philadelphia. Abington's hospital is in Montgomery County. King of Prussia has no hospital of its own. The night nurse still has to reach one street.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- Philadelphia and the four suburban counties are different lists
- East Norriton, West Chester, Media, and Doylestown have different hospitals
- The Upland hospital beside Chester is closed
- Open the city or county page for the address
Greater Philadelphia is a regional hub, not a coverage promise. Open the patient’s city or county before you enroll.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in Philadelphia, Levittown, Norristown, Chester, Philadelphia County, Bucks County, Montgomery County, King of Prussia, West Chester, Media, Doylestown, Delaware County, Chester County.
